Company plays big role in Southeast Asian nation's clean energy transition

Malaysia's clean energy transition has been significantly propelled by Chinese energy companies' active involvement in recent years, including China General Nuclear Power Corp, or CGN, which has emerged as the country's second-largest independent power producer with 5.08 gigawatts of capacity through key gas and solar ventures, industry experts and company executives said.

The company, China's largest nuclear power operator in terms of installed capacity, has solidified its position as a major energy player in Malaysia, as it has been stepping up efforts in exporting advanced technologies and production capacity overseas in recent years, it said.

The company has been continuously leveraging its integrated industrial chain in recent years, and its international operations have successfully brought Chinese renewable energy supply chains to countries including Malaysia, Laos and Brazil, driving the export of photovoltaic and wind turbine equipment capable of generating a combined 1.6 GW of power, said Zhang Chaoqun, president of CGN Energy International Holdings Co.
