JLand Group Sdn Bhd (JLG) and Petronas’ green energy subsidiary, Gentari, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop an eco-friendly ecosystem across JLG’s residential, commercial and industrial projects. As part of the collaboration, both JLG and Gentari will explore the potential installations of an electric vehicle (EV) charging hub at Ibrahim Technopolis (IBTEC) in Johor and renewable energy solutions for JLG’s industrial parks.
In addition, the collaboration will also look into Gentari’s Vehicle as a Service (VaaS) offering as a green mobility subscription service at JLG’s residential, commercial and industry developments, to initiate the adoption of EVs. With the EV fleet subscription by Gentari, JLG seeks to accelerate the low-cost investment transition into EVs.
Both parties will also undertake feasibility studies on the integration of Gentari’s renewable energy solutions at selected strategic assets and industrial parks under JLG. Meanwhile, the implementation of green mobility ecosystem in JLG’s selected projects will commence in Q3 2023.
JLG’s Director of Real Estate & Infrastructure Division, Datuk Sr Akmal Ahmad said “Our partnership with Gentari signifies a milestone in our progress towards decarbonisation initiatives and enhanced capabilities in the renewable energy sector. Through our joint effort with Gentari, we are further equipped to act on our continued commitment for sustainable growth.”
He added, “The wide-scale deployment of the green mobility and renewable energy ecosystems across our main developments namely Menara JLand, KOMTAR JBCC, B5 Johor Street Market, Ibrahim International Business District (IIBD) and Bandar Dato’ Onn (BDO), showcases the depth and extent of the partnership’s value creation potential, considering the number of end-users present throughout our operating entities.”
Gentari’s Chief Executive Officer Sushil Purohit said, “The journey towards achieving Malaysia’s net-zero goals will require the whole of society’s efforts. As a clean energy company focused on delivering the solutions required to put cleaner energy into action, Gentari seeks to collaborate with leading entities with a broad and diversified portfolio such as JLand Group, to enable the efficient implementation of integrated solutions. With JLand Group, we are able to simultaneously explore initiatives under our core pillars of Renewable Energy, Hydrogen and Green Mobility, cutting across the electron value chain to create greater value in the path towards net zero.”
