Following his promotion, Niranpal will be reporting directly to Daniel Gaefke, APAC Director, BayWa r.e. Gaefke said: “Southeast Asia presents a huge opportunity of US$30 billion in the next few years according to Southeast Asia’s Green Economy 2022 Report: Investing behind new realities by Bain and Temasek, with contributions from Microsoft. With Niran’s expertise in the energy solutions, photovoltaic and renewables sector, it will further refine our offerings in Malaysia, providing our customers with tailored renewable solutions to meet their carbon reduction needs.”
“Niranpal has proven his capabilities serving as the General Manager of our APAC Energy Solutions team. We are confident that he will take our Malaysia business to greater heights as we continue to expand our solar and energy solutions services country-wide in anticipation of the growing demand for renewable energies and the energy transition plan laid out by the Malaysian government,” continued Gaefke.
In 2021, BayWa r.e. announced the successful sales of two solar farms in Malaysia to a local renewable energy-focused independent power producer, reNIKOLA Sdn Bhd. The first project is a 5.2 MWp development at Arau located on the university campus in Perlis, while the second project is the 39 MWp Gebeng solar park in Pahang. Further in the Southeast Asia region, BayWa r.e. opened its Wind Projects Representative office in Lang Son Province, Vietnam, in June and partnered with Ubon Bio Ethanol PCL in Thailand to set up one of the largest private floating solar platforms in Ubon Ratchathani.
