We are also encouraged by government initiatives that serve as the catalyst for the RE industry development in Malaysia and which enable us to participate as an investor.”

    “The listing on the Main Market not only reflects Samaiden’s current scale of operations but will also help to improve investor’s recognition and interest in our shares, especially from institutional investors, which in turn will enhance the attractiveness and marketability of our shares. It will also enhance our standing and credibility among customers, suppliers, sub-contractors, business associates, bankers and employees that we have worked hard to maintain ever since our listing on the ACE Market on 15 October 2020.”

    • Various government initiatives, electricity tariff hike, Corporate Green Power Programme and sustainability adoption supportive of RE industry outlook

    Samaiden Group Berhad, a renewable energy (RE) specialist principally involved in engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and power plants registered a 36.28% rise in revenue to RM40.23 million for the second quarter ended 31 December 2022 (2Q FY2023) compared with RM29.52 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.

    Samaiden recorded a 10.48% gain in profit before tax (PBT) to RM3.48 million in 2Q FY2023 compared with RM3.15 million for 2Q FY2022 while profit after tax (PAT) increased 14.60% to RM2.59 million compared with RM2.26 million.

    For the first-half of the financial year 2023 (1H FY2023), revenue increased 52.14% to RM81.00 million compared with RM53.24 million in 1H FY2022 while PBT gained 14.77% to RM6.76 million compared with RM5.89 million. Samaiden’s PAT increased 16.67% to RM5.04 million compared with RM4.32 million in the same period.

    For the quarter under review, EPCC services contributed to approximately 99.45% of Samaiden’s revenue. The remaining revenue came from energy asset investment, environmental consultancy and operation and maintenance.

    Group Managing Director of Samaiden, Ir. Chow Pui Hee said, “We see government initiatives encouraging the deployment of RE, particularly the launch of 600 megawatts (MW) Corporate Green Power Programme in last November which will drive the adoption of sustainability. In addition to that, the increase in electricity tariffs starting from January 2023 also serve as the catalyst for the RE industry development in Malaysia.”

    “Taken together, these initiatives and measures are opportunities that can be leveraged either to provide EPCC services for solar PV systems or to allow us to participate as an investor in all these solar assets. We will also continue to leverage on our core competency and experience to provide end-to-end services for potential solar PV and other non-solar projects. Nonetheless, we remain optimistic about investing in Southeast Asia, as many neighbouring countries are prioritizing energy transition as their key national objective. We are cautiously optimistic about Samaiden’s performance for the remainder of FY2023.

    Samaiden’s total outstanding orderbook stood at RM269.54 million as at 31 December 2022 and is expected to contribute positively to revenue and profit over the next three years.

    ‘Switching On the SUN’ – Samaiden Officially Turns on First Power Generation Facility at Sunway Nexis

    Samaiden Group Berhad (Bursa: SAMAIDEN, 0223), a clean energy solution specialist principally involved in engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and power, is pleased to announce that the Group’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Samaiden Capital Management Sdn. Bhd.’s first solar investment project at Sunway Nexis has commenced operation on 23 December 2022.

    Samaiden will operate and maintain the rooftop solar PV system with an installed capacity of 531 kilowatt-peak (kWp) for a duration of 20 years. Based on the generation of 12.5 million kilowatt hour (kWh) over the 20-year period, this can reduce approximately 8,400 tonnes of carbon emissions.

    Group Managing Director of Samaiden, Ir. Chow Pui Hee said, “As part of the diversification plan for our Group, we are delighted to see the completion of this first investment project, in which the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) was signed with Perbadanan Pengurusan Sunway Nexis (Sunway Nexis Management Corporation) back in December 2021.”

    “This is a remarkable milestone for us as this facility will contribute positively to our revenue and cash flow on a recurring basis for 20 years.”

    Sunway Nexis Management Corporation Chairman, Mr. Teo Poh Heng said, “We must focus on the future of our planet and emphasize sustainability of renewable energy (RE) and Sunway Nexis is happy to partner with Samaiden as the solar PV investor as this will certainly help to raise awareness of RE and its benefits to the owners and tenants of the building. I must thank Samaiden for taking this bold initiative to invest in Solar PV for Sunway Nexis as this is in line with our nation’s initiative on implementing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles in the workplace. It starts with wise and timely corporate decisions that has long-term repercussions for all concerned.”

    “With the recent announcement made by the Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change YB Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad on the surcharge of 20 sen/kWh to be imposed for industry medium voltage and high-voltage users including multinational corporations, we foresee that the solar PV system will be the best alternative for them to deploy in order to reduce their electricity bills,” Ir. Chow noted.
