AIZO's Unit Signs Power Purchase Deal with TNB
AIZO Group Bhd, formerly known as Minetech Resources Bhd, says its 63 per cent-owned Wawasan Demi Sdn Bhd has formalised a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) for the development of a 99.99 MWac large scale solar photovoltaic (LSS) facility in Kampar, Perak.
This follows the earlier acceptance of the Letter of Notification from the Energy Commission on Jan 6 2025, designating Wawasan Demi as the project developer under the national LSS programme.
Under the PPA, Wawasan Demi will design, construct, own, operate and maintain the solar photovoltaic energy generating facility, with electricity to be supplied to TNB's grid system.
"The PPA represents a major step forward in the realisation of one of AIZO's largest clean energy undertakings to date," it said today.
The project will be financed through a combination of internally generated funds and/or bank borrowings.
The 99.99 MWac Kampar solar facility is poised to become a significant contributor to AIZO's long-term earnings, while further reinforcing its presence in Malaysia's clean energy space.
AIZO executive chairman Datuk Abang Abdillah Izzarim said the project further solidifies its position as a growing force in the renewable energy sector.
It complements AIZO's established presence in civil engineering, infrastructure and bituminous products.
"It also reinforces the group's long-term vision of sustainable, diversified growth through strategic investments in high-impact sectors," he added.

Hot Take: My 2 Cents on AIZO Group Berhad’s Private Placement
AIZO Group Berhad, formerly known as Minetech Resources Berhad, has steadily evolved into a diversified entity with a presence in construction, financial technology (Fintech), bituminous products manufacturing, and renewable energy. With a continued focus on expanding its capabilities in these industries, the company continues to seek new opportunities to strengthen its market position and enhance its financial standing.
Recently, AIZO Group successfully raised funds through a private placement exercise, issuing up to 10% of its total shares. This fundraising initiative was structured under two possible scenarios, with the company securing approximately RM23.38 million in the minimum case and RM30.66 million in the maximum case.
The proceeds from this exercise are earmarked for several key initiatives, including the expansion of ongoing construction projects, partial repayment of existing borrowings, investment in its Fintech division, and enhancements to its bituminous products manufacturing and renewable energy operations. A significant portion of the funds will be channeled into construction projects such as the Selinsing Gold Mine, M Nova Project, and the Banting Industrial City development, ensuring the company remains competitive in the infrastructure sector.
One of the key advantages of raising funds through a private placement is its efficiency as a capital-raising tool for public-listed companies. Unlike bank borrowings, which increase a company’s debt burden, or a rights issue, which often results in significant dilution for existing shareholders, a private placement introduces new investors while maintaining a balanced capital structure.
Rights issues, though providing existing shareholders the opportunity to maintain their stake, can place downward pressure on stock prices if demand is weak. In contrast, private placements are typically structured to attract institutional investors or high-net-worth individuals, potentially increasing market confidence and liquidity in the company’s shares.
AIZO Group has recently completed its fifth tranche of private placement, marking another key milestone in its efforts to secure additional funding. This continued success in securing investor participation reflects confidence in the company’s business prospects and strategic direction.
The fresh injection of capital allows AIZO to accelerate its growth initiatives, particularly in sectors such as renewable energy and fintech, which are aligned with the broader technological and economic advancements in Malaysia.
With this latest fundraising exercise completed, the question now is whether AIZO Group will be able to leverage its newly raised capital effectively to drive long-term growth. The company’s ability to execute its expansion plans, secure new contracts, and improve its financial performance will be closely monitored by investors. If AIZO can capitalise on its strengthened financial position and successfully execute its growth strategies, it may continue to gain momentum in the market.
