Samaiden Targets 400–530 MWac Share of Malaysia’s LSS6 Solar Rollout

Samaiden Group Berhad is positioning itself for a larger role in Malaysia’s upcoming Large Scale Solar 6 (LSS6) programme, as stronger execution of large-scale solar projects and the new tender round provide opportunities to replenish and expand its order book.

According to TA Research, Samaiden is targeting a 15%–20% share of Malaysia’s LSS6 rollout, equivalent to approximately 400–530 MWac of solar projects.

The targeted capacity would cover projects where Samaiden either owns the renewable energy assets or provides engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) services.

The target represents an increase from Samaiden’s participation in previous LSS cycles. TA Research noted that the group’s combined EPCC and asset share across earlier LSS rounds ranged between 8% and 17%.

A key factor supporting the potential growth in contract value is the requirement for battery energy storage systems (BESS) across most of the LSS6 project packages.

According to TA Research, the mandatory integration of BESS is expected to translate into meaningfully larger EPCC contract values for Samaiden, potentially increasing the value of projects secured through the upcoming programme.

The LSS6 programme therefore provides Samaiden with an opportunity not only to expand its exposure to utility-scale solar generation, but also to participate in the growing integration of solar PV and battery energy storage in Malaysia.

With the company targeting up to 530 MWac of project capacity, the upcoming LSS6 rollout could provide a substantial pipeline of new opportunities for Samaiden across both asset ownership and EPCC activities.

The development comes as Malaysia continues to expand its renewable energy capacity and increasingly incorporates energy storage into large-scale solar projects. For Samaiden, securing a larger share of LSS6 could strengthen its project pipeline and support further growth in its renewable energy and engineering businesses.
