MESTRON Holdings Bhd a Main Market-listed manufacturer and distributor of standard poles, specialty poles and solar components, is on course to advance Malaysia’s renewable energy (RE) capacity and accelerate the country’s clean energy transition.
This comes about after the group’s renewable energy arm Mestron Energy Sdn Bhd sealed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Trina Solar Co Ltd, a global leader in smart photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage solutions.
Under the agreement, Trinasolar will supply 50MW of high-efficiency Vertex N-type solar modules for Mestron Energy’s upcoming renewable energy projects across Malaysia.
The partnership reinforces Mestron Energy’s commitment to supporting the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) which aligns with the government’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
“This partnership marks another important step in Mestron’s renewable energy journey,” commented Mestron Holdings’ managing director Por Teong Eng.
“Collaborating with Trinasolar allows us to combine world-class solar technology with our local project expertise to deliver efficient, sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions.
Added Por: “Together, we aim to contribute meaningfully to Malaysia’s clean energy ecosystem and the broader ASEAN renewable energy landscape.”
A wholly owned subsidiary of Mestron Holdings, Mestron Energy has been expanding its footprint in renewable power generation covering solar, biogas, hydro and energy efficiency solutions.
Leveraging its strong engineering background and nationwide infrastructure network, the company aims to build a diversified renewable energy portfolio that supports Malaysia’s growing demand for sustainable energy infrastructure.
“We are pleased to partner with Mestron Energy to deliver advanced, cost-effective solar solutions that support Malaysia’s clean-energy ambitions,” shared Trinasolar’s vice-president (Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa region) Ku Jun Heong.
“Our Vertex N modules are designed to maximise energy yield and help lower the levelised cost of energy.”
As a pioneer in Malaysia’s pole manufacturing industry, Mestron Holdings has evolved from providing lighting and infrastructure solutions to becoming an integrated player in the renewable energy sector.
This collaboration with Trina Solar – one of the world’s top solar technology providers with over 292GW of cumulative global module shipments as of end-March 2025 – enables Mestron Energy to deploy cutting-edge solar solutions while strengthening Malaysia’s position as a leader in sustainable energy development.
The partnership underscores the growing momentum in corporate renewable energy adoption and highlights ASEAN’s increasing role as a regional hub for clean energy innovation.
At the close of yesterday’s (Oct 17) market trading, Mestron was up 1 sen or 5.13% to 20.5 sen with 12.9 million shares traded, thus valuing the company at RM205 mil. – Oct 18, 2025
