Brunei breaks ground on largest 30MW solar power plant

Brunei Darussalam marked a major milestone in its clean energy journey with the groundbreaking ceremony for the country’s largest solar photovoltaic power plant, a 30-megawatt (MW) facility in Kampong Belimbing.

Developed by Seri Suria Power (B) Sdn Bhd—a joint venture of Serikandi Oilfield Services, Khazanah Satu (a government-linked company), and Malaysia’s Solarvest Holdings subsidiary Atlantic Blue—the solar plant is sited on a remediated 32.29-hectare landfill. Scheduled for operation by the end of 2026, it will produce over 64,000 megawatt-hours annually, powering more than 15,500 homes and offsetting an estimated 41,000 tonnes of CO₂ each year.

“This is more than a construction project. It is a symbol of Brunei Darussalam’s commitment to sustainable development and energy diversification,” said Seri Suria Power director Dato Paduka Awang Haji Jamain bin Haji Julaihi. “We are laying the foundation for a cleaner, more resilient Brunei, committed to sustainable energy for generations to come.”
