PBA GREEN TECHNOLOGY
PBAHB incorporated a new 100% owned subsidiary called “PBA Green Technology Sdn Bhd” (PBAGT) on 12.12.2018. PBAGT was set up to take on projects in the fields of hydro and solar power. The idea is to generate electricity that may be used to offset or reduce the energy costs of PBAPP.
For the PBA Group, the main objectives for the renewable energy initiatives are to:
- Explore renewable technology projects at PBAPP’s water supply installations, in support of the Vision 2030 aspiration of making Penang a “family-focused smart and green state that inspires the nation.”
- Offset or reduce PBAPP’s energy costs by generating “green energy” that may be exported into the national grid.
- Unlock the energy generation potential of Penang’s water supply installations, without compromising core water supply operations, safety and the environment.
