The move marks VCI Global's entry into the global clean energy sector.

The subsidiary aims to capture capital-efficient, large-scale opportunities across renewable generation, energy storage, and sovereign energy infrastructure.

VCI Global Limited, a cross-sector platform builder integrating deep technology with financial architecture, has launched VCI Energy Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary dedicated to clean energy infrastructure. This strategic move marks VCI Global's formal entry into the global clean energy sector, positioning the company to capture significant growth opportunities.

The new subsidiary, VCI Energy, will focus on three high-growth verticals: clean energy generation and storage, sovereign energy infrastructure, and strategic partnerships for large-scale energy projects primarily in Asia. The appointment of Victor Lee, former Managing Director of Franklin Templeton, as the Chief Executive Officer of VCI Energy underscores the company's commitment to leveraging institutional investment and infrastructure financing expertise.

Victor Lee brings extensive experience in driving capital-efficient, large-scale opportunities, aligning with VCI Global's mission to empower governments, enterprises, and institutions in Southeast Asia to scale securely, intelligently, and independently. Under Lee's leadership, VCI Energy aims to unlock scalable partnerships, recurring revenue streams, and long-term value creation for shareholders.

The clean energy infrastructure market is poised for rapid expansion, fueled by rising global energy demand, government decarbonization targets, and the integration of digital and AI-driven infrastructure. According to Allied Market Research, the sector is forecasted to grow at a 9.3% compound annual growth rate, reaching approximately US$1.5 trillion by 2033 [1].

VCI Energy is uniquely positioned to compete in this burgeoning market, driven by large-scale renewable deployment, electrification initiatives, and sovereign investment in energy resilience. By partnering with governments, utilities, and institutional investors, VCI Energy seeks to deliver renewable and energy resilience projects that combine sustainability with sovereignty.

VCI Global's robust operational performance, evidenced by a 54% gross margin and 37% revenue growth in the last twelve months, further underscores its financial health and ability to execute on its strategic initiatives [3].

As VCI Global continues to expand its cross-sector platform, VCI Energy represents a pivotal step in the company's evolution, aligning sustainability with shareholder value creation in the rapidly growing clean energy transition market.
