Operations at Intel Malaysia are harnessing solar energy to help power six buildings across the company’s Kulim and Penang campus, thanks to a new 3.2 megawatt (MW) solar installation completed in January. The installation is achieving 4.1 MW in total installed capacity, which is provided by NEFIN, a renewable energy developer. The project is Intel’s largest solar farm outside the U.S. The solar project, which began in 2020, contributes about 15% of Intel’s global, on-site solar photovoltaic electric power capacity. It will also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 3,800 tons.
“Our continued investments in alternative energy is a key pillar of Intel’s continued commitment to operating our manufacturing facilities with the lowest impact to the environment. The use of renewable power generated on site at Intel Malaysia is a critical part of Intel’s efforts as a responsible corporate citizen to do better by our planet and as part of our RISE 2030 goals of achieving 100% renewable power,” said Robin Martin, corporate vice president, general manager of Assembly Test Manufacturing, and managing director of Intel Malaysia.
