Bandar seri begawan: Continued commitment from the government, industry, and consumers is key to helping embed energy efficiency into investment decisions.

According to Radio Television Brunei, the Deputy Minister of Energy at the Prime Minister's Office, Dato Seri Paduka Awang Haji Mohamad Azmi bin Haji Mohamad Hanifah, emphasized this point during a groundbreaking ceremony. The event marked the start of construction for Hibiscus Petroleum's 12 megawatt-peak (MWp) ground-mounted solar PV project at Sungai Liang Industrial Park SPARK.

The solar farm, which spans 26 acres, is an initiative by Hibiscus Petroleum to integrate renewable energy into its operations. The project reflects the oil and gas sector's progress in adopting renewable energy, enhancing efficiency, strengthening competitiveness, and positioning the industry for long-term resilience. The solar farm is expected to generate its first power by the end of the year. Once operational, it will supply renewable electricity exclusively to the group's low-pressure compressor facility at the onshore processing plant.
