Samaiden Group Bhd said it has secured a RM60.05 million contract to undertake engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) works for a 15MWac large scale solar photovoltaic power plant in Penang.

Samaiden said its wholly-owned unit Samaiden Sdn Bhd accepted the letter of award from Bakateam Services Sdn Bhd for the project in Simpang Ampat, Seberang Perai.
