KUALA LUMPUR: Iskandar Investment Bhd (IIB) has partnered with Cenergi SEA Bhd to establish the region's first net zero carbon central business district (CBD) in Medini.

Cenergi Group chief executive officer Hairol Azizi Tajudin said the company's collaboration with IIB encompasses two primary objectives, namely providing renewable energy certificates (RECs) to bolster IIB's green initiatives and supplying solar energy to power the CBD and IIB's renewable energy (RE): Zone.
