Founder Group Secures Multiple Contracts Worth Approximately US$5.5 Million

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Founder Group Limited (NASDAQ: FGL) (“Founder Group” or the “Company”), a pure play, end to end engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) solutions provider for solar photovoltaic systems in Malaysia, is pleased to announce the receipt of several Letters of Award (LOAs) for multiple large-scale solar projects, with a combined contract value of approximately US$5.5 million (equivalent to approximately RM22.5 million).

Under the terms of these LOAs, Founder Energy will assume various responsibilities across the projects, including full EPCC services, the supply and installation of DC and AC electrical systems, Instrumentation & Control (I&C) systems, and civil works. These responsibilities encompass projects within the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP) as well as a utility-scale solar project. This demonstrates the Company's flexibility in addressing the diverse needs of large-scale solar initiatives.

Malaysia's solar EPCC services industry is projected to reach approximately US$350 million (about RM1.5 billion) by 2026, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.5%, driven by the country's strong commitment to renewable energy. As part of this effort, Malaysia aims to achieve a 20% renewable energy mix by 2025, up from just 2% in 2018, supported by initiatives like the Green Technology Financing Scheme, according to the ASEAN Energy Database System. In 2024, the government introduced the Solar for Rakyat Incentive Scheme (SolaRIS) to further accelerate residential solar adoption, complemented by tax exemptions and green technology investment allowances.

“We are pleased to have received these Letters of Award, which are a testament to the trust placed in us by various project owners and highlight our commitment to supporting Malaysia's transition to renewable energy. We look forward to leveraging our expertise in EPCC solar PV projects as we continue to deliver large-scale solar initiatives moving forward,” said Lee Seng Chi, Chief Executive Officer of Founder Group Limited.
