KUALA LUMPUR: Throughout 2024, clean energy solutions provider Gentari Sdn Bhd has charted significant progress in growing and strengthening its position as a regional leader in renewable energy, hydrogen and green mobility in Asia Pacific.
Strategic partnerships with key industry players since its official launch in 2022 supported the company’s strategic advancements in 2024, reinforcing its ability to drive the region’s clean energy transition towards a net zero future.
With its partners, Gentari is actively addressing challenges to support the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Gentari chief executive officer Sushil Purohit said the company’s collaborations and focused efforts have enabled the energy solutions provider to contribute to decarbonisation initiatives and support meaningful advancements.
“As we close 2024, I am proud of the tangible progress Gentari has made in delivering practical clean energy solutions across the Asia Pacific.
“We remain committed to making a measurable impact on the energy transition,” he told Bernama recently.
To date, Gentari has secured 8.0 gigawatts of installed and under-construction renewable energy capacity across its markets.
At home in Malaysia, the company has made significant strides in expanding its renewable energy footprint, with upcoming floating solar projects in Sarawak and Terengganu set to bolster its contributions to the nation’s clean energy transition.
Regionally, India saw substantial growth, marked by key milestones, including the commissioning of an interstate
transmission system-connected solar project, securing a wind-solar hybrid power project, and the successful commissioning of wind turbines for a co-located solar and wind project.
Gentari country head for India Navjit Gill said the company’s growth in India in 2024 highlighted the opportunities within the country’s dynamic energy landscape.
“As a key market, we are dedicated to supporting India’s energy transition with solutions in renewable energy, hydrogen, and green mobility, aligned with local needs and priorities,” he said.
Other markets, such as Australia, witnessed Gentari’s renewable energy expansion, including the final investment decision (FID) for a solar-BESS (battery energy storage systems) hybrid project.
Gentari Solar Australia chief executive officer Andrew Barson added that Australia’s abundant land and sunshine make it ideal for expanding clean energy capacity, particularly solar.
“Gentari has focused on building dispatchable solar and BESS hybrid power plants and enhancing our portfolio with BESS infrastructure to maximise our contribution to the country’s renewable energy potential,” noted Barson.
In hydrogen, the company saw the maturation of 175.0 kilo-tonnes per annum (KTPA) of hydrogen opportunities, including the conditional FID for a 1.0 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) green ammonia plant with AMG Ammonia in India.
Gentari said proposed and planned hydrogen projects across Malaysia, India, and Singapore continue to progress through developmental stages, while a strategic partnership with MISC Bhd seeks to strengthen logistics capabilities for the company’s hydrogen pillar.
In the green mobility segment, Gentari continued to expand its portfolio with local and regional partners, closing the year with about 1,000 charging points (CPs) across the region, forming part of a growing cross-border roaming network of over 5,000 CPs spanning Malaysia, India, Thailand and Singapore.
To further enhance sustainability, Gentari launched its first BESS for CPs in Perak, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia.
Meanwhile, Gentari’s vehicle-as-a-service (VaaS) was deployed in over 3,600 electric vehicles (EVs) across Malaysia, India and Indonesia, clocking in over 44 million electric kilometres driven and contributing to a carbon avoidance of around 1,357 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e).
Gentari deputy chief executive officer Shah Yang Razalli said the company’s efforts in green mobility reflect its commitment to addressing Asia Pacific’s unique transportation challenges while contributing to the broader transition towards sustainability.
“Through initiatives like our cross-border EV roaming network and VaaS offering, we strive to make it easier for businesses and individuals to embrace clean transportation solutions,” said Shah, who is also Gentari Green Mobility chief executive officer.
To complement the expansion of these services, the company introduced Gentari Go, an integrated customer experience platform in Malaysia, India and Thailand, offering a one-stop platform for sustainable energy adoption.
Other initiatives involved partnerships with local governments and sectors such as automotive, e-commerce, and finance to accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation in Malaysia and the region.
As Gentari looks ahead, it remains committed to advancing the energy transition and is proud to contribute to these efforts.
Together with its partners, the company aims to drive impactful, sustainable outcomes that will shape a cleaner, more resilient future for the region.
