At a time when the Covid-19 pandemic is testing financial resilience, Pestech International Bhd has remained largely unscathed.

The power infrastructure specialist, which has presence in more than 20 countries, is well-supported by stable recurring income from its three major projects in Cambodia — two of which were completed this year.

When it comes to the deployment and adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) here in Malaysia, it is not just about the cars on the road, but the infrastructure that supports it as well. Without the support of the utility players and the government, it could all be for naught.

PESTECH International Bhd has expressed interest in the recently announced 1,000MW Large Scale Solar (LSS) programme, under the Malaysia Electricity Industry to Attract Renewable Energy Investment (LSS@MenTARI) from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (KeTSA) via the Energy Commission.

As the world keeps moving forward through the Covid-19 pandemic and thoughts turn towards the post-pandemic age, governments and businesses alike have to keep in mind their short and long term goals, and work towards those in the face of this adversity.
