말레이시아 에너지전환·수자원전환부는 7월에 LSS6 대규모 태양광 입찰을 시작하여 총 2,500MW의 태양광 용량과 1,250MW의 배터리 에너지 저장장치를 결합하고, 부미푸테라 기업을 위해 150MW를 별도 배정했다. 이는 말레이시아 사상 최대 규모의 유틸리티급 태양광 입찰이자, 태양광-ESS 하이브리드 개발을 의무화한 첫 LSS 라운드이다. 이 프로그램은 약 130억~150억 링깃(약 32억~37억 달러)의 민간 투자를 유치할 것으로 예상되며, 프로젝트는 단계적으로 준공되어 2029년 12월 31일까지 완전 상업 운전을 목표로 한다.
