Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) has entered into a 20-year solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Ditrolic Energy Solutions Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian clean energy solutions company for corporate and institutional customers in Southeast Asia, to set up a 10.6MWp on-site rooftop solar system in the varsity. By end of the year, with the completion of 22,374 pieces of solar modules being installed across 90 buildings, solar carports and ground mounted system within the campus grounds, USM expects most of the energy supplied to its campuses to be clean and renewable. The solar system will be able to generate power for 63.73% of its peak power demand. Over its lifetime, approximately 278,683MWh of clean energy will be generated, enabling USM to eliminate 217,705 tonnes of CO2 emissions in total.
