For over 38 years, home-grown Malaysian pharmaceutical company Kotra Pharma has been making its mark in Malaysia and internationally through its Appeton, Axcel and Vaxcel brands. Recently, the company has adopted renewable energy solutions to improve its energy efficiency, thus, contributing to making a difference to the environment.

The company’s research and manufacturing hub in Melaka received a rooftop PV system developed in partnership with Cleantech Solar.

Malaysia, Melaka, 10 June 2021 – Cleantech Solar, a leading provider of renewable energy to corporations in Asia, celebrates the completion of a solar PV system for Kotra Pharma (M) Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kotra Industries Bhd, which is listed on the main board of Bursa Malaysia. The solar project was awarded to Cleantech Solar under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) where Cleantech Solar would be responsible for funding, building, operating and maintaining the system across the term of the agreement.

The solar system retrofitted on the facility is a great addition to Kotra Pharma’s world-class manufacturing and research plant. The plant, which is the hub for Kotra Pharma’s R&D and manufacturing activities, is designed with state-of-the-art technology as well as advanced pharmaceutical process equipment. The 600 kW solar system is expected to generate about 790 MWh electricity in the first year.
