Renewable Energy Projects We embarked on an exciting project to install solar panels at Tropicana’s pioneer resort-themed development, Tropicana Golf & Country Resort (“TGCR”), Petaling Jaya in 2021. Installation of the 2,214 solar photovoltaic panels commenced in March 2021. The panels, spread across 53,204 sq ft of rooftop space at TGCR’s clubhouse, were fully operational by September 2021. In FY2021, the panels produced an average of 100,000 kWh of electricity a month, with savings of up to RM100,000 in energy bills a year. In FY2022, the solar panels have generated an average of 107,415 kWh of electricity a month, with total savings of RM174,959 in energy bills a year. TGCR Solar Panel Project • 2,214 PV panels installed • 107,000 kWh electricity generated a month • Cost savings of up to RM14,000 a month in energy bills Tropicana had earlier introduced renewable energy projects in other developments in Klang Valley.
