KUALA LUMPUR: Compugates Holdings Bhd, distributor of consumer electronics products, is expected to clinch several solar-based projects in Sabah worth over RM2 billion, driving growth for its green renewable energy solutions.
Its unit, Compugates Sabah Sdn Bhd (CSSB), has won a pilot project from the Board of Trustees of Sabah parks to supply and install a 6kWh Green Solar Hybrid System in Pulau Gulisaan, Turtle Island Park in Sabah for RM270,000.
The project will enable the turtle sanctuary and hatchery on the island to have round-theclock electricity supply while, at the same time, achieve reduced carbon footprint via the hybrid
system.
A source said Compugates is targeting bigger projects in Sabah and will be setting up a plant soon for around RM30 million.
