Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. has installed a solar power generation facility on the rooftop of its subsidiary, Nippon Electric Glass (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., and began operations as of March 17, 2026.

This is NEGM’s first solar power generation facility, with a maximum output of approximately 7.6 MWp^※. The annual power generation is expected to account for about several percent of NEGM’s electricity consumption and is projected to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 6,900 tons per year.

^{※ MWp (megawatt-peak): Watt-peak is an indicator of rated output for power generation methods with variable output. It represents the maximum output that the facility can theoretically achieve under certain standard conditions.}

Background and Future Initiatives

The NEG Group is working to reduce COâ‚‚ emissions at its domestic and overseas sites with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. At NEGM, a VPPA (Virtual Power Purchase Agreement) was signed in July 2024, and the introduction of this rooftop solar power generation facility further advances these efforts. The NEG Group will continue to promote the use of renewable energy.
