Case Study — Senai Industrial Area, Johor

Structural Steel Fabrication Plant, Senai
RM696,000 Annual Energy Savings

A 500 kWp solar array paired with 500 kWh Industrial BESS at a structural steel plant. The AI load controller predicted overhead crane and welding machine startup sequences, pre-discharging BESS to cushion the 800 kW demand spike — achieving a 22% reduction in billed Maximum Demand. Combined energy + MD savings: RM58,000/month.

Why Heavy Industry Plants Choose Trexon

Engineering-grade systems for the most demanding industrial environments.

MD Spike Elimination

AI controllers predict machine startup sequences and pre-discharge BESS to flatten 30-minute demand spikes, eliminating the RM97.06/kW penalty in real-time.

Solar ATAP 100% Quota

Under the January 2026 Solar ATAP update, heavy industry can now install solar covering 100% of peak load — run production lines at RM0/kWh during daylight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from heavy industry plant managers and CFOs.

Why is Maximum Demand charge the primary concern for heavy industry?
Under TNB E2/E3 tariff, the MD charge is RM97.06/kW per month based on your highest 30-minute demand reading. For a steel or chemical plant with 1,000 kW peak demand, that is RM97,060/month — over RM1.16M per year — just in MD charges, before even counting energy consumption. A 500 kWp solar + BESS system can reduce measured demand by 300–400 kW, cutting MD charges by RM26,781–RM35,708/month.
How does GITA apply to heavy industry capital expenditure?
Under GITA, 60% of qualifying solar and BESS capex is deducted from statutory income. For a RM1.8M (1 MWp) system, that is RM1.08M deducted from taxable income — saving RM259,200 in corporate tax (at 24% rate). The system must be commissioned and verified by SEDA/MIDA by December 31, 2026.
What is Solar ATAP and why does it matter for heavy industry?
Under the Solar ATAP framework (updated January 2026), large industrial users can now install solar arrays that cover 100% of their peak load capacity — up from the previous 75% cap. For high-baseload plants, this means entire production lines can run on solar-generated electricity during daylight hours at effectively RM0/kWh.
How do AI load controllers help with peak shaving?
Our Grid-Edge AI controllers monitor your load profile in real-time, predicting machinery startup current spikes 30–60 seconds in advance. The BESS pre-charges and discharges to flatten the spike, keeping your measured demand below the MD threshold. This is the difference between paying RM97.06/kW or RM0 on your next TNB bill.
Can Trexon deploy systems for plants in Pasir Gudang and Klang?
Yes. Trexon has active projects in both Pasir Gudang Industrial Area and Klang Valley. Our engineering teams conduct site surveys within 48 hours of inquiry. For Pasir Gudang, we account for the marine-grade corrosion environment in module and mounting selection.
