Malaysia | Founder Energy targets LSS6 for multi-year solar growth

Malaysia’s latest Large Scale Solar programme is already influencing how local renewable energy companies plan their next phase of growth.

Founder Energy Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary of Founder Group Limited, is actively tendering for projects under Malaysia’s Large Scale Solar 6 (LSS6) programme, positioning the company for potential order book growth through the programme’s targeted commercial operation date in December 2029.

LSS6 represents Malaysia’s largest utility-scale solar tender to date, with:

☀️ 2.5 GW of solar capacity🔋 1.25 GW of BESS capacity☀️ An additional 150 MW of solar capacity reserved for Bumiputera companies

The programme is expected to attract RM13–15 billion in private investment, with projects scheduled to be commissioned in phases through 2029.

🔎 Why is Founder Energy’s strategy worth watching?

Rather than waiting for individual project awards, the company is positioning itself around the multi-year development pipeline created by LSS6.

Founder Energy has already been involved in more than 70 solar EPCC and sub-EPCC projects across Peninsular Malaysia, with its completed and ongoing project portfolio representing more than 1 GWp of solar capacity.

LSS6 therefore represents more than another project opportunity.

It could provide a multi-year pipeline for:

Solar EPCC → BESS integration → Construction → O&M → Long-term asset management

The shift is particularly significant because LSS6 is the first Malaysian LSS round to mandate integrated solar + BESS development.

This means the opportunity emerging from LSS6 is not limited to adding more solar capacity. It is also creating demand for grid-scale storage, system integration and long-term asset lifecycle management.

For Malaysia’s renewable energy industry, the message is becoming increasingly clear:

LSS6 is not just a tender — it is becoming a multi-year growth platform for the country’s solar and energy storage value chain.
