VCI Global Targets US$200 Million Revenue with 100 MW of Solar Photovoltaic Projects in Southeast Asia and Europe
December 13 2024 - 8:33AM
VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”),
is setting a target to develop and acquire up to 100 megawatts (MW)
of solar photovoltaic (PV) projects across Southeast Asia (SEA) and
Europe within the next five years. This expansion is expected to
generate approximately US$200 million in revenue over the next 20
years and significantly contribute to VCI Global’s long-term
growth.
As part of this initiative, VCI Global plans to
source at least 70% of the 100 MW from projects in Malaysia,
leveraging key government programs such as the Corporate Renewable
Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS). CRESS allows businesses to directly
purchase green electricity from renewable energy developers.
Through this initiative, VCI Global will supply renewable energy
directly to its data center, further enhancing its energy
independence while advancing its sustainability goals.
According to Solar Insure, by 2030, data centers
are projected to account for 16% of the total U.S. power
consumption, a significant rise from just 2.5% a decade ago. This
trend highlights solar power as a leading alternative. Combined
with advanced battery storage, solar power can provide nearly
continuous energy to AI data centers, reducing dependence on grid
electricity and fossil fuels. These initiatives will not only
contribute to national renewable energy targets but also align with
VCI Global’s long-term growth and strategic vision.
In parallel, VCI Global will seek to acquire
solar farms in Eastern and Southeastern Europe, targeting 30 MW of
solar capacity in these expanding markets. This international
expansion supports the Company’s strategy to capitalize on the
increasing global demand for clean energy while strengthening its
renewable energy portfolio.
The total investment required for these solar
initiatives is projected to be US$50 million over five years, with
an expected annual revenue of approximately US$10 million over the
next 20 years. This sustainable growth strategy will provide
long-term, stable returns, reinforcing VCI Global’s commitment to
clean energy and delivering value to shareholders.
“In 2025, renewables will become the largest
source of electricity generation. By 2028, renewable energy sources
will account for over 42% of global electricity generation, with
the share of wind and solar PV doubling to 25%. At the same time,
the explosive growth of AI has created an unprecedented demand for
power. We view solar energy as one of the most promising renewable
energy sources and wish to fully capitalize on this opportunity to
meet the growing clean energy demand of AI and the world,” said
Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and CEO of VCI
Global.
