JOHOR BARU: Iskandar Malaysia and Singapore are two major contributing factors that will drive growth of the property market in south Johor.
IJM Land Bhd general manager (southern region) Tham Huen Cheong said the country’s first economic growth corridor was moving in the right direction since its inception in Nov 4, 2006.
Located in the southern most part of Johor, spanning 2,217 sq km and under its Comprehensive Development Plan (2006-2025), Iskandar will be transformed into an international metropolis.
The figure released by the Iskandar Regional Development Authority showed Iskandar received RM62.32bil cumulative investment up to June, surpassing the 2010 target of RM47bil.
“Developers are benefiting from the investment flow with demand for properties on the upward trend,’’ he said at the launch of SuriaMas Block C Apartment Tower.
The project located in Larkin is a privatisation project between IJM’s subsidiary Suria Bistari Development Sdn Bhd and the Johor government.
The 13-storey block with the gross development value of RM35mil is made up of 152 units with built-up area from 82.03 sq metre to 104.98 sq metre, and selling prices between RM220, 000 and RM330, 000 each.
He said the opening of the two Integrated Resorts (IR) in Singapore also saw good demand for apartments units especially those located just few kilometres away from Bangunan Sultan Iskandar, Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex in Bukit Chagar.
Tham said it was a known fact that Johor and Singapore were economically inter-dependent and positive economic growth on both sides of the Causeway would create a spill over.
“Apartment units are popular with Malaysians working in Singapore as most of the apartments blocks are located within the gated and guarded precinct,’’ said Tham.
He said many chose to stay in apartments nearby the CIQ due to the shorter travelling time commuting to work to the republic.
The safety factor was another consideration as security guards patrolled the area regularly.
Tham said apartments in the Larkin area fetched good rental due to its close proximity to Johor Baru city centre and was surrounded by amenities such as schools, banks, shopping complexes, private hospitals and public transport terminal.
He said a three-room unfurnished apartment unit in the area could easily fetch RM850 monthly rental, while for the fully-furnished three-room unit could derive rental between RM1,200 and RM1,800.
Tham said it was still considered cheap compared with a room in any Housing Development Board public flats in Singapore, which could be leased out to tenant from S$500 monthly.

JOHOR BARU: Johor wants to develop the former sites of the Lumba Kuda and Bukit Chagar low-cost flats in Johor Baru into an area similar to Kuala Lumpur City Centre.
Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said the components of the project would include buildings that resembled the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, hotels, condominiums, serviced apartments and retail complexes.
“On clear days, the towers would have a commanding 360 degrees views of the city centre and our neighbour Singapore,” he said yesterday.
Ghani was speaking to journalists at the opening of the HSBC Amanah Malaysia Bhd’s first Islamic bank branch in Johor at Taman Nusa Bestari and also its seventh branch.
He said the Lumba Kuda and Bukit Chagar sites would also be the last stop for the mass rapid transit (MRT) services from Woodlands, Singapore to Tanjung Puteri in Johor Baru. A rapid transit system (RTS), which would be centralised at Kempas KTM station, will connect commuters to other parts of Johor Baru and Pasir Gudang.
Ghani said Johor was opened to all options on the type of RTS to use; whether to have a bridge across the Straits of Johor or an underground sea tunnel linking Johor and Singapore.
“The distance might be short: only about 1.6km but if the sea tunnel project is viable and can help reduce congestion above land, why not,” he said.
Ghani said the Iskandar Regional Development Authority and State Economic Planning Unit would have until the end of the year to complete their studies on the city centre transformation plan and submit their findings to the Federal Government.
Under the 10th Malaysia Plan, some RM1.8bil will be spent to turn Johor Baru into a vibrant city in line with its status as one of the five flagship development zones in Iskandar Malaysia.

Big Solar: The Sun’s Rising Power
Chinese manufacturing power, falling prices, and technology breakthroughs have transformed the solar industry from a green niche into a mushrooming market.
“The Sun Always Shines on TV”, a famous Europop song in the 1980s, could be re-released for the 21st century, just slightly modified: nowadays, the sun always shines on PV.
Photovoltaic solar panels have become a symbol of renewable energy and a greener future – unfortunately, they still represent less than 0.1 percent of global energy production.
But growth is tremendous. Solar capacity in Germany, the world’s leading PV nation, will double in 2010 from 10GW to 20 GW, estimates the Swiss bank UBS. And despite Germany’s moderate climate, these solar panels do already produce massive amounts of electricity.
Figures from the European Energy Exchange show that solar power accounted for 10 percent of Germany’s electricity consumption during midday peak load on more than ten days in July 2010producing some 7GWh of solar power, comparable to the power output of seven nuclear power plants.
Falling prices have been one reason for this explosive growth. Chinese companies have entered the solar panel market and gained a market share of more than 50 percent.
Priceless competition
Cheap Chinese manufacturing and massive governmental subsidies have more than halved prices for solar panels since 2008. Shi Zhengrong, CEO of one of China’s biggest solar panel manufacturers, Suntech Power Holdings, even massive state subsidies in many European countries like Germany, Italy, or Spain have created a huge market. European companies, once market leaders, are struggling, but consumers have happily bought into the price slump.
But growing competition and state subsidies aren’t the only driving forces behind the current solar boom. Technological advances are equally important. While most established European companies see their market shares melt away, America’s First Solar managed to nearly double its share in 2009.
The company’s secret: cheaper technology. First Solar’s thin cadmium telluride panels are less efficient than traditional silicon-based panels, but the Arizona based company has managed to produce them at significantly lower costs.

In 2009, its panels first broke the 1 dollar per Watt threshold. Recent figures put the cost per watt installed capacity at 80 Cents, beating most competitors by 30 to 40 percent.
But competitors such as Nanosolar are already working on the next technological leap. Using nanotechnology, the company has developed a printing process that it says will churn out ultra-thin and cheap solar panels.
Storing energy
PV pioneers are not just competing with each other, but also with concentrated solar power (CSP), also called solar thermal power, which reflects sunlight to heat liquids in tubes or atop towers to create steam.
CSP boasts economies of scale. The largest solar power plants in the world, and the largest ones planned, are CSP plants. And the more mirrors reflect sunlight, the more steam is available for the electric turbine.
CSP also allows energy storage. Modern installations like the Abengoa plant in southern Spain heat molten salt that can store heat for 7.5 hours so the plant can work at night. This ‘base load’ provides a valuable degree of security that PV parks do not yet offer.
On the other hand, PV can more easily be easily integrated into existing grids and needs little planning time, even in urban centers.
CSP plants need large amounts of water to cool their steam turbines, just like conventional power plants. PV panels convert sunlight directly into energy and don’t need cooling, an advantage in many dry and sunny places.
In hot climates, PV electricity production also mirrors the daily energy use. It produces energy when air conditioners use most energy to cool buildings. Demand usually drops at night, when PV panels also go to sleep.
In the long run, both technologies will remain important says solar expert Robert Pitz from the German Aerospace Center although much will depend on location. CSP plants only work with direct sunlight and have little value in moderate climates. But for desert countries in North Africa, CSP plants will be highly attractive.
“The costs for solar power are directly proportional to solar radiation,” says Pitz. “Solar power from the desert is three times cheaper than solar power produced in Germany. You use the same machinery but you get three times more power from it.”
It’s only a question of time, says Pitz, until solar power will have significant global market share. In Europe, the challenge is to combine decentralized and small-scale PV installations with large CSP plants in Southern Europe and Northern Africa in an intercontinental power grid.

Sungevity Prospers on its Ideals, Selling Solar Panels
By Karen E. Klein - Sep 15, 2010
As a former environmental activist, Danny Kennedy, 39, says he is “probably more missionary than mercenary” when it comes to clean energy. Still, the founder of Sungevity, a Berkeley (Calif.)-based company that sells solar power panels for homes, is “entirely comfortable with the fact that we’re going to make a killing in this industry.”
Coal, natural gas, and nuclear energy fuel the vast majority of America’s energy consumption. Solar energy and other renewable sources account for less than 3 percent of the total, although their share is growing. The residential solar market in the U.S. increased 101 percent during the 2009 recession, according to the Solar Energy Industries Assn. With the nation’s toughest environmental regulations, California made up the lion’s share of that growth, with 220 megawatts of new capacity installed in 2009.
Already in the top 5 in sales of U.S. residential solar companies, three-year-old Sungevity wants to dominate the Golden State market, and is just starting to sell in Arizona and Colorado. This year, thanks to a new customer lease option, Kennedy says revenue is on track to exceed $25 million, up from just under $3 million in 2009.
The lease program became a reality in March, when U.S. Bancorp, the parent company of U.S. Bank, invested $24 million to create a tax equity fund with Sungevity. The capital finances 10-year, no-money-down leases. That means customers have no up-front investment; most begin seeing reductions in their electricity costs immediately. “It’s good business at so many levels, from a PR level to a return-on-risk level,” says Darren Van’t Hof, the bank’s director of renewable energy investments. “In my own personal view, residential solar development will eclipse commercial and utility scale in a matter of two or three years.”
Big Ballot Win for Wind and Solar All this is heady stuff for a self-described “policy wonk” who was born in Los Angeles to Australian parents and who has made his home on both sides of the Pacific Rim. A serious environmental advocate since he was a teenager, Kennedy began working for Greenpeace in the early 1990s, coordinating whaling blockades and working to save forests. Climate change is what most captivated him. “My passion has always been the energy stuff,” he says.
In 2001, working on the California Clean Energy Campaign, Kennedy oversaw a big win: Stunning 73 percent voter approval of a $100 million Bay Area bonds issue to fund wind and solar. The landslide helped catalyze the state’s nascent green energy industry. Popular support for climate change remedies had reached a tipping point, he thought. “We didn’t need so many campaigns any more to show that we had a problem. At some point you cross a threshold and it becomes incumbent on you to prove that you’ve got solutions,” he says.
In 2006, he met up with an old friend, Alec Guettel, who had turned his own environmental activism into a career as a serial entrepreneur. The two decided to go into the residential solar business together. Roof-panel solar systems had been around for decades in California, more as a curiosity than as a scalable industry. Kennedy and Guettel viewed the sales process, involving site visits and engineered drawings, as clunky and expensive. Because only 1 in 10 deals would close, buyers had to absorb $2,000 to $3,000 in marketing costs.
From Blanchett to Series B Funding Sungevity’s breakthrough was to move the process online. The company uses Google Earth and high-resolution aerial photography to inspect rooftops, estimate solar potential, and deliver customer estimates within 24 hours. Sungevity sells all of its systems over the Internet, with subcontractors that install and maintain the panels as part of the lease deal.
There were early backers. Sungevity raised $2.5 million in 2007 from friends and family, among them the actress Cate Blanchett, a friend from Kennedy’s university days. In 2009, many of those investors and some new angels re-upped for a Series B, which was led by venture firm Greener Capital and joined by Firelake Capital Management. It has raised around $10 million, Kennedy says.
Getting people to change the way they have always done things, particularly in a commodity market, is not easy. “If Edison came back today, he would recognize the electrical grid,” says Rachel Sheinbein, a principal at San Francisco-based venture fund CMEA Capital, which invests in clean energy. “Solar power providers are not starting fresh in a whole new industry, like what Intel did. It’s more difficult to compete against well-established incumbents.”
The growth of residential solar is still dependent on government incentives. The industry’s 2009 growth, for instance, was largely due to the removal of a $2,000 cap on the 30 percent federal investment tax credit for new solar installations.
The Prop 23 War: Tech vs. Oil An attack on those incentives has recently drawn Kennedy back into politics. He’s become a leader in what is shaping up to be a legendary fight. Environmentalists and Silicon Valley moguls are facing off against the Texas oil companies and Tea Party backers that are funding California’s Proposition 23, an initiative on the state’s November’s ballot.
The proposition would suspend the state’s popular 2006 global warming law. By requiring California to roll back its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, the law strongly encourages the widespread adoption of alternate energy technologies and has created a boom in the state’s 500,000- employee clean energy industry.
The proposition is billed as a jobs initiative and has drawn support from business and manufacturing organizations, anti-tax groups, and Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina. But it has outraged its opponents and may ultimately be remembered for having cemented the political coalition of clean tech and dot- com chief executives with environmental advocacy groups such as the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Kennedy attended a “No on 23” meeting this summer at Google’s Mountain View, Calif., headquarters. “It was a rich moment; a turning point,” he says, describing the array of environmental and business luminaries armed for battle. “We might have seen a coming-of-age, when clean tech business decided to stand up and take on big oil.”

U.K. Solar Executives Criticize `Asinine' Treasury Review of Subsidies
By Alex Morales and Marc Roca - Sep 25, 2010 12:30 AM GMT+0800
Cuts in the U.K.’s guaranteed prices for electricity from solar photovoltaic panels would threaten job creation just as the industry is taking off, executives at Sharp Corp. and Solarcentury Holdings Ltd. said.
U.K. Energy and Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne said last week that all areas of his department are being examined as part of a government-spending review. “Nothing is safe until everything is safe,” he said. The subsidies, called feed-in- tariffs, may be cut before a planned review in 2013, the Financial Times reported today.
“They said they would give the industry breathing space to grow,” Andrew Lee, head of Osaka-based Sharp’s U.K. solar unit, said today in a phone interview. “Here we are, trying to create jobs, and they’re now putting huge hurdles.”
Since the subsidies were started on April 1, the U.K. has installed 25 megawatts of solar panels in about 10,000 homes and 41 commercial installations, according to energy regulator Ofgem. That’s just under the total fitted before this year. Even so, it’s nowhere near installations in continental Europe, said Derry Newman, chief executive officer of Solarcentury.
“If you compare that to Germany, which just this year will install 7,000 megawatts, and France, which will install 700 megawatts, and we’re already worrying and talking about adjusting tariffs? It’s asinine,” Newman said. “Adjusting a policy which took years of work when it already has adjustments built into it for the end of 2012 is very strange.”
Jobs Created
Newman said his company added 20 jobs since the tariffs came in. Sharp said in July it would double production capacity at its factory in Wrexham, Wales, with “hundreds” of jobs created.
Governments across Europe are reducing subsidies for photovoltaic energy because of declining costs of solar panels and installation growth.
France and Germany announced cuts in August of 12 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Spain and the Czech Republic are planning cuts of up to 50 percent. Italy this month approved a staggered cut in incentive levels for the next three years.
The French government’s move, announced with a few days notice and without consultation with the industry, came after it said a year ago that tariffs would be fixed until 2012.
U.K. Spending Cuts
“If you go for an installation now, you know exactly what the return is going to be all the way through,” Huhne told a cross-party panel of lawmakers who scrutinize energy policy on Sept. 15. “I’m absolutely determined that, unlike in some other EU countries, there will be no question of investors being able to call us and criticize us for having retrospectively changed terms.” At the same time, he left open the possibility of changing the tariffs awarded to new projects.
Prime Minister David Cameron’s coalition of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats is proposing 113 billion pounds ($179 billion) of spending cuts and tax rises to cut a record deficit of 11 percent of economic output. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne is due to set budgets for each department in a spending review on October 20.
The feed-in tariffs are paid for by utilities rather than the government, and they can recoup the costs through customer bills. When they were introduced earlier this year, the tariffs were set up to 2013, and people who install solar panels can earn as much as 10 times the market rate for electricity.
With the price of solar panels falling, a cut in tariffs may not harm the industry, according to Jenny Chase, a solar analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The U.K. solar industry will continue to grow even if tariffs are cut by more than a quarter, she said.
“This is not a surprise, nor is it a reason for the solar industry in the U.K. to panic,” Chase said in an e-mail interview. “Without such a cut, it is vulnerable to a boom, massive cost overrun, and backlash scenario.”

France and Germany announced cuts in August of 12 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Spain and the Czech Republic are planning cuts of up to 50 percent. Italy this month approved a staggered cut in incentive levels for the next three years.
The French government’s move, announced with a few days notice and without consultation with the industry, came after it said a year ago that tariffs would be fixed until 2012.
U.K. Spending Cuts
“If you go for an installation now, you know exactly what the return is going to be all the way through,” Huhne told a cross-party panel of lawmakers who scrutinize energy policy on Sept. 15. “I’m absolutely determined that, unlike in some other EU countries, there will be no question of investors being able to call us and criticize us for having retrospectively changed terms.” At the same time, he left open the possibility of changing the tariffs awarded to new projects.
Prime Minister David Cameron’s coalition of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats is proposing 113 billion pounds ($179 billion) of spending cuts and tax rises to cut a record deficit of 11 percent of economic output. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne is due to set budgets for each department in a spending review on October 20.
The feed-in tariffs are paid for by utilities rather than the government, and they can recoup the costs through customer bills. When they were introduced earlier this year, the tariffs were set up to 2013, and people who install solar panels can earn as much as 10 times the market rate for electricity.
With the price of solar panels falling, a cut in tariffs may not harm the industry, according to Jenny Chase, a solar analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The U.K. solar industry will continue to grow even if tariffs are cut by more than a quarter, she said.
“This is not a surprise, nor is it a reason for the solar industry in the U.K. to panic,” Chase said in an e-mail interview. “Without such a cut, it is vulnerable to a boom, massive cost overrun, and backlash scenario.”

Making Greater KL the nation’s heartbeat
By THEAN LEE CHENG leecheng@thestar.com.my Sep 25, 2010
DATUK Seri Idris Jala is not an urban planner – he is the master urban planner. As he presented his ideas on moving the country into high-income territory, he has fixed his focus on the city.
His rationale: Greater Kuala Lumpur (KL) will be the largest contributor at the gross national income level, both today and in 2020. A decade from today, Greater KL will contribute more than seven times over the next target urban centre of Johor Baru and 2.5 times over the largest industry sector, namely oil, gas and energy.
His aspiration – to improve the city’s livability. His tool – urbanisation. His rationale – the city will provide the engine of growth for the entire country. That means, the next 10 years will be crucial. A decade is a short time, actually, to do all that he has laid down.
Jala’s emphasis on livability is based on improving the public transport system, stability, healthcare, edcuation, infrastructure, culture and environment. The Economist had earlier ranked KL 79 out of 130 cities in terms of livability.
Property analyst and map maker Ho Chin Soon says: “Cities generally generate a huge portion of a country’s wealth. Paris produces 30% of France’s wealth, Tokyo 20% to 25% of Japan’s, and the Klang Valley 30%. How it is to be done is another question.”
Jala’s plan is for Greater KL to have a population of 10 million, compared with the current 6.4 million.
He has written about the growth of Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya and others parts of KL.
Ho says there are two sensitive areas at stake here. There will be more as the journey for transformation goes along. The first involves public transport.
“Although we have some form of public transport before and the money to make it a reality, we did not proceed to ensure the survival of our car industry. That is why our public transport ridership is a mere 10% compared with Hong Kong’s 90%, and Singapore’s 80% to 85%.”
Ho says the Mass Rail Transit (MRT) system is more than just connectivity. Studies done have shown that if there is an MRT under an apartment block or mall, their rental improves by a quarter or a fifth, at least.
An integrated transport system with the MRT as its main spine will help to raise property prices and connects the pockets of new development that the Government has announced in the last few months with the existing established areas, Ho adds. These includes the redevelopment of the 380-acre Kampung Baru, the 80-acre Islamic financial hub at the Dataran Perdana in the Imbi area, the mixed development on 460 acres at the Sg Besi old airport, the Matrade piece of land in Jalan Duta, and the redevelopment of the 22-acre former Pudu Prison site among others.
The objective is to more than double the commercial content of KL.
“This will take some time for the market to absorb,” he cautions.
The other sensitive area is the redevelopment of Kampung Baru and other Malay reserve land. In order to do that, Ho says there must be changes to the laws governing Malay land rights.
“There must be a repeal of all Malay Reservation Land Enactments. All federal and state land must be sold via public auction so that the various states and the Federal Government can realise the true value of its land,” he said. Currently, the land belongs to the state.
Livability and aesthetics
The cleaning up of the river, the greening and beautification of KL and the call for new developments to have 30% of open space are part of the attempts to improve the city’s livability.
The revitalisation of the Klang River through its beautification and redevelopment of its banks also involves the cleaning up of the river to reduce polution. A joint development council will be fundamental in driving the development of the river. Other elements include the renewal of old areas within Greater KL.
Already, an UDA Holdings Bhd source says the government agency has put in a few proposals for the redevelopment of some old shop houses in some areas and to work with local authorities in their renewal programmes.
“From now onwards, developments will not viewed from an agency perspective, but from the country’s perspective and how it adds to the Greater KL plan and the city’s livability,” it says. The private sector has also proposed to work with UDA on some projects, all of which will help to enlarge UDA’s land bank, it added.
“Our projects will be market driven,” the source says, adding that UDA will be playing a big role in this transformation, both in terms of property development and public transport.
“We will be returning to our original objective of building cities.”
The agency has put in a request to be considered as one of the operators for Bandar Tasik Selatan transport hub. It currently manages and operates Puduraya Terminal, which is currently undergoing a RM52mil renovation.
In the area of property development, its most immediate project is the redevelopment of the 22-acre former Pudu Prison site. Located between Permodalan Nasional Bhd’s 100-storey project near Merdeka Stadium and Dataran Perdana’s Islamic financial centre in Jalan Sultan Ismail behind Berjaya Times Square, the former Pudu Prison site will form the axis, or centre of development, in that vicinity.
Another UDA project is the office and service apartment project on four acres next to Sheraton Imperial Hotel in Jalan Sultan Ismail. This area, where most of the hotels are located, and Jalan Bukit Bintang, where the malls are situated, will be given emphasis because they will generate tourist dollars.
There will be a need for more interaction between UDA and the local authorities, says the source.
To give cohesion to KL’s transformation, Greater KL will comprise 10 local authorities consisting of City Hall and the town councils of Kajang, Selayang, Ampang Jaya, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Klang, Petaling Jaya, Putrajaya and Sepang. Today, these operate within their designated zones.

Holistic view needed for Greater KL plan
By ANGIE NG angie@thestar.com.my Sep 25, 2010
DEVELOPERS and valuers hope the Government’s Greater Kuala Lumpur (GKL) plan will not only be a catalyst to spawn a thriving capital city, but also have all the right attributes to become one of the most livable metropolis by 2020.
The GKL plan is one of the 12 National Key Economic Areas identified under the Economic Transformation Programme, which is a road map to turn Malaysia into a high income economy with a per capita gross national income of US$15,000 by 2020.
The 279,327ha GKL will cover districts under 10 municipalities namely Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Selayang, Ampang Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Klang, Kajang and Sepang.
Real Estate and Housing Developers Association president Datuk Michael Yam says it is imperative that the Government take a more holistic view to the overall future planning of Kuala Lumpur and its surrounding areas, with the objective of benchmarking GKL against other world class cities.
“The catalysts required to turn GKL into a reality include better physical planning of Kuala Lumpur and its surroundings; transportation and traffic dispersal; social and cultural planning; crime prevention and respect for the rule of law; high standards of education and health facilities; environmental care; improvement of infrastructure and services; efficient government delivery system; and a conducive business and market friendly environment,” he tells StarBizWeek.
Yam says transportation connectivity, green lungs (where appropriate) and a whole hosts of user friendly amenities must be built into the development masterplan.
“Life cycle costing and economical and environmental sustainability should be factored into the planning of communities. Incentives should be given to developments that achieve the quadruple bottom line objectives covering profit, society, environment and sustainability,” he says.
Yam points out that a major challenge for the GKL plan is that the footprint covers an extensive area including neighbouring Selangor.
This inclusion is necessary and critical to the success of the extensive transportation network, supply of utilities, cleaning of rivers, waste management and connectivity.
“One of the keys to the efficient and effective delivery of the GKL plan, especially when the components of the area are controlled by governments from different parties, is the need for a governing body or organisation that can be mandated to make all decisions pertaining to the realisation of the plan.
“This body would be empowered by the governments to make decisions without fear or favour, and members of this body should be people with a macro view and the requisite expertise and experience to set policies and drive the project. It should have the courage to engage competent professionals to help plan, conduct market studies, analyse the financial viability and encourage best practice in executing the tasks,” he says.
He says: “Design and layout of infrastructure should be inclusive and forward looking, being friendly to mothers and the elderly as we progress towards an aging population in 20 years time. Such universally friendly features and amenities should be incorporated into best practice principles.”
Yam foresees that more residential properties, including higher quality residences, will be needed for the growing population and inflow of new talents. New commercial and retail properties will also be needed to meet the higher demand.
To avoid market mismatch, he says it is important to implement development initiatives in market-driven phases based on real demand.
P.K. Poh, a retired property veteran from Dijaya Corp Bhd and currently an advisor to a public-listed group, says urbanisation and high income alone do not make a city great if it is not livable.
“The GKL plan should have all the amenities expected of a great city, such as an efficient transportation system, reliable broadband connectivity, a clean, green and safe environment, comprehensive civic facilities (libraries and museums), a lively cultural and performing arts scene and a high level of service culture from those in the service industry. World-travellers will find these features very evident in the top 20 world-class cities around the world,” Poh adds.
He believes that for GKL to achieve the rank of a world-class city, the most important factor will be to create an efficient and reliable transportation system with seamless interconnectivity between different transportation modes to all corners of the city.
“I also think that the needs of pedestrians and cyclists in the city have been sidelined, in that there are not enough sidewalks (that are wide and level enough) and the total absence of dedicated bicycle tracks in the city.
“According to a recent article that I read, the top three world-class cities in the world – Munich, Copenhagen and Zurich – all have great connectivity, cultural and civic amenities and green spaces. This makes for a happier, healthier living for its residents, which is so important in today’s pressure-cooker environment.”
Poh says while the planning is already in place, “the time of reckoning is during the implementation stage.”
“It’s a long journey from now till 2020. Like all ambitious programmes, it will need to be reviewed from time to time, say, every three to five years, and tweaked. To do this, there needs to be a methodology set up to measure the progress in a clear, transparent and easily-understood manner,” he says.
According to CB Richard Ellis Sdn Bhd executive director Paul Khong, as planning details of the land have not been formalised, it is still premature to gauge how the final GKL plan will affect the value of the land.
“It is only in the planning stages and the plans are not formalised yet. At the end of the day, it is subject to the final planning approval for the respective projects. It is also important to ensure new projects are planned properly to ensure there will not be an over supply situation,” Khong says.
Mah Sing Group Bhd group managing director cum chief executive Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum says the comprehensive transportation proposal is particularly exciting as this will boost demand for properties.
“The plan includes the mass rapid transit and high-speed rail link between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore with a possible extension to Penang. This will be a major boost for the property sector if they materialise,” he says.

The prices have gone up to about € 1.70 per watt since then because of a rush to build projects in Germany ahead of an anticipated fall of the country’s feed-in tariff in July, but the prices could fall back to the first-quarter levels or drop even lower over the next 12 months, she said.SolFocus’s showcase project at the Victor Valley College provides some insight. The public college spent about $4.66 million from a voter-approved construction bond and other funds for the 1-MW project.To calculate the levelized cost of energy, the college divides the project’s price ($4.66 million) by the power output over 25 years (54.76 million kWh) and arrives at 8.5 cents per kWh, McQuilkin said. The LCOE doesn’t include the operational and maintenance costs. The LCOE would go down to 1.5 cents per kWh if you include incentives that will be based on the amount of energy the power plant produces.SolFocus is using highly efficient cells of gallium arsenide on a germanium substrate, which can convert close to 39 percent of the sunlight that hits them into electricity (under high concentration).

The prices have gone up to about € 1.70 per watt since then because of a rush to build projects in Germany ahead of an anticipated fall of the country’s feed-in tariff in July, but the prices could fall back to the first-quarter levels or drop even lower over the next 12 months, she said.SolFocus’s showcase project at the Victor Valley College provides some insight. The public college spent about $4.66 million from a voter-approved construction bond and other funds for the 1-MW project.To calculate the levelized cost of energy, the college divides the project’s price ($4.66 million) by the power output over 25 years (54.76 million kWh) and arrives at 8.5 cents per kWh, McQuilkin said. The LCOE doesn’t include the operational and maintenance costs. The LCOE would go down to 1.5 cents per kWh if you include incentives that will be based on the amount of energy the power plant produces.SolFocus is using highly efficient cells of gallium arsenide on a germanium substrate, which can convert close to 39 percent of the sunlight that hits them into electricity (under high concentration). By concentrating the sun 650 times, each SolFocus panel can achieve 26 percent efficiency.
Meeting the solar PV gigawatt challenge
01 February 2008Claus-Ulrich Mai
Many experts predict a transition toward solar power as a primary energy source in the future, but how can today's players overcome the significant hurdles ahead on the PV side?
Photovoltaic (PV) systems that directly convert solar energy into electricity are still too expensive to compete on an equal basis with grid-supplied electricity from conventional sources, but the gap has been narrowing in recent years. Mainstream implementation of PV technology for large-scale energy production is challenged by intermittent daytime-only electricity output, and the PV industry's still-developing technology and manufacturing infrastructure for converting sunlight into electricity.
To overcome these challenges, the industry is committed to further lowering costs by enhancing automated production equipment and systems for manufacturing solar cells and modules. The improved economies of scale that will naturally result from these steps will significantly increase output and reduce the production costs of solar PV systems.
To accelerate this trend, experts are urging the industry to take on the gigawatt challenge; i.e. creating highly efficient module factories capable of producing a Gigawatt peak (GWp) of PV electricity generating capacity annually. In addition, the industry acknowledges the need to achieve better conversion efficiencies for both silicon wafer-based and thin-film PV cells, while continuing to develop new, even less expensive technology solutions for PV cells and modules.
Ambitious subsidy programmes
These challenges are well within the solar PV industry's capabilities, as previous efforts to narrow the cost gap between fossil-fuel-based electricity and solar energy indicate. The industry's continuous technological innovations and improvements, increased cell conversion efficiencies and improved PV system reliability (with lifetimes of 20 to 25 years) have combined over the past 15 years to reduce the average cost of electricity from PV by 5% per annum.
The European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) now expects PV electricity generation to become cost competitive with conventional forms of electricity within the next 7 years, and to be worth more than €300 (US$441) billion a year by 2030.
Currently, solar PV systems contribute only minimally to the world's electricity needs, except in a handful of countries such as Germany and Japan. There, government-supported programmes, such as Germany's 1000 Roof and 100,000 Roof programmes and Japan's Residential Roof Program, have accelerated development of the alternative power source since the early 1990s. In Germany, thanks to low-interest installation loans and the feed-in program requiring utilities to buy back PV-generated power at attractive rates, 300,000 PV systems were installed as of the end of 2006.
Other countries, though slower in getting out of the starting gate, are also now making strides. Industry experts predict the USA in particular, could be a standout over the long term. Several US states have enacted ambitious subsidy programmes, including California's 10-year, US$3.3bn solar incentive programme. California hopes to supply 20% of its electricity needs with solar energy by 2010, while other states like Arizona, Texas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, have committed to fund the installation of some 10 GWp of additional solar electric generating capacity over the next 15 years through billions of dollars in subsidies.
At the Federal level, the US Department of Energy (DoE) gave a boost to the solar industry last year by launching the Solar America Initiative (SAI). The programme funds a variety of cooperative research programmes, which are structured as industry-led partnerships focusing on manufacturing and production. One of the key goals is to develop new, more cost-competitive PV materials for cells. The DoE budgeted US$148m for the PV energy programme during 2007, an increase of US$65m over its 2006 allocation.
By 2015, the DoE aims to make solar PV electricity generation cost competitive with conventional forms of electricity, while creating an installed base of PV systems large enough to produce 5 to 10 GWp. By 2030, the country's annual installed PV electric generating capacity could see a tenfold increase and represent roughly 40% of new electricity generation capacity.
Some experts claim that solar PV-generated electricity is already cost competitive, even without subsidies, for customers in California during peak daytime hours. But for most of the more than two billion people worldwide who currently have no access to electricity, solar PV systems are still far too expensive.
The industry's ultimate goal is to reduce the cost of PV cell production from roughly US$1.50 to US$2 per Watt peak (Wp) today, by 50% in 2010; this should be low enough to compete with traditional energy sources and make PV generated energy affordable for developing countries.
To tackle this important objective, a growing number of companies and organisations around the world are working to create technology that will further boost the acceptance of PV. Soaring demand for renewable energy has attracted an increasing number of industrial players to the PV field in recent years, including a number of Chinese manufacturers. Meanwhile everyone in the value chain, from silicon producers, cell and module makers up to production-equipment manufacturers, has been making serious investments.
Oerlikon Solar, for one, seeks to reduce costs even more aggressively and increase conversion efficiencies to a point where parity with conventional energy sources becomes a reality in the near term. The Switzerland-based company's equipment for producing thin-film solar PV modules enables high efficiencies while significantly reducing the cost per Wp.

Gigawatt Challenge
Overcoming the Gigawatt factory challenge
The PV industry's next major cost-reduction driver is expected to be economies of scale in manufacturing. This is not a sure thing, however. Two key economic factors must change drastically for the industry to achieve this critical point: the cost of production and the power output of the PV modules.
Larger production volumes are already enabling the industry to lower its per-unit costs. Thus far, the rule of thumb has been that each doubling of capacity produces production-cost reductions of approximately 20%. To accelerate this trend and achieve the highest possible yield, however, it will be necessary to bring new, highly automated (for instance, less manual assembly and handling) manufacturing lines into production in a shorter timescale, for example in 6 months – versus 9 to 12 months at today's pace.
What is watt peak?
Watt peak (Wp) is the measuring unit for the standard performance (power rating, or wattage rating) of a photovoltaic cell – or a photovoltaic module – under standard test conditions. Module prices are typically indicated in €/Wp. 1000 watts peak = 1 kilowatt peak.
What are standard test conditions?
The test conditions that have been established stipulate that a light source radiates vertically with an intensity of 1000 W/m2, and that the temperature be 25ºC and the air mass 1.5
Source: Q.Cells
Furthermore, PV-generated electricity will need to become more cost competitive through improved conversion efficiency, module cost and total system cost. Total system cost is tied closely to easier and faster installation procedures, decreased installation material costs and less costly inverters. Today's market price to produce a PV module is between US$4.50 and US$5.50/W. That price will need to drop to less than US$2 for the industry to compete successfully against fossil fuels on a global basis without Government grants and subsidies.
To effectively leverage economies-of-scale advantages, today's traditional production facilities with outputs of 30 to 120 MWp must grow into 1 GW plants. Moreover, recent decisions by leading PV cell manufacturers to invest in major capacity increases by 2008 and 2009 signal that the industry is headed in the right direction. The leading producers have established a goal to surpass the 1 GW mark by 2010, but international competition to reach that milestone first will be fierce.
Close cooperation and collaboration between cell producers, equipment manufacturers and plant managers will be required to meet the GW challenge, since achieving that unprecedented level of production presents new technological and financial challenges for the industry and its suppliers.
Thin-film technology potential
Until now, the implementation of grid-connected systems, often sustained by subsidies, has driven growth. These advances have been slowed, however, by a shortage of silicon, which has forced the PV cell industry to compete with semiconductor manufacturers for silicon. The competition has also put upward pressure on PV prices. The good news is that worldwide silicon supplies should increase in 2008, thanks to several planned factory expansions. In addition, silicon supplies are likely to be further extended by recent advances in the production of thinner wafers, which use less silicon.
On the technology front, noteworthy improvements include reducing the cost of PV cells through new materials and processes that require little or no silicon. Moreover, newer technologies and topologies that benefit from these processes and materials have shown better conversion efficiencies and are likely to become more widely used.
Two main technologies are used to produce PV cells. The most prevalent silicon PV cell technology, which uses either c-Si or multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si), supplies about 90% of worldwide cell demand. The balance comes from thin-film technologies like amorphous Silicon (a-Si), Micromorph Tandem technology, Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) and Copper Indium Diselenide (CIS).
To help customers and consumers reach grid parity through its thin-film PV module technology, Oerlikon Solar has introduced an environmentally friendly, energy-conscious micromorph tandem technology that combines two different silicon materials – amorph and microcrystalline – in a top and bottom cell.
The amorphous top cell converts the visible part of the sun's spectrum, while the microcrystalline bottom cell absorbs the sun's power in infrared spectrum. This new micromorph tandem technology boosts the efficiency level by approximately 50% compared to traditional amorphous single cells. This process not only reduces energy production costs, it also has the potential for reaching conversion efficiencies of more than 10%. A further incentive to customers is that Oerlikon Solar uses materials that are non-toxic, low cost and readily available.
Thin-film cells present significant growth opportunities. Consultants Solarbuzz expect sales in 2010 to be at least 10 times higher than 2005 levels, as more manufacturers begin large-scale production. Worldwide, thin-film technologies are expected to account for 20% of the PV market by 2010.

房地产行业排名 1 王健林
401.1亿元
万达集团
男 55 出生于辽宁
公司总部：辽宁大连
主要行业：房地产、文化、酒店、百货
王健林带领的万达集团，已然是一家涵盖了商业地产、高档酒店、文化和连锁百货四大支柱产业的庞大企业。
目前，万达在全国开办了27个万达广场，拥有收租物业面积700万平方米；开业8家五星级酒店和11家百货店；拥有五星级影城50家、400块银幕，占有全国15%的票房份额。即便是未纳入支柱产业的住宅地产，综合实力同样不容小觑，累计开发面积超过1000万平方米。
逆势扩张是万达集团快速增长的要诀。从2008年第四季度开始，万达展开了“冬季攻势”，大肆抄底。2009年，攻势未见减弱，全年投资超过300亿元。仅2009上半年，斩获楼面面积达642万平方米，其中持有物业面积近200万平方米。事实上，万达集团制定了一项宏大的扩张计划：到2012年，开业80个万达广场、45家五星级酒店、110家影城和15家百货店。
为支撑庞大的扩张计划，万达旗下万达商业地产于2009年进行两轮私募融资，募集资金40亿元，创下民营公司内地私募融资之最。王健林父子持有万达商业地产23.6亿股，按第二轮私募价格17元/股计算，二人身家保守估计为401.1亿元。而院线、百货等其他业务产生的财富尚未计入。
同时，曾两度上市未果的万达集团，已将上市地由海外瞄向了A股市场。目前，万达商业地产已完成股改，进入上市申报程序，预计2010年完成IPO。院线、百货等业务尚不在上市之列。扩张与上市，使王健林成为国内地产界绝对的大亨。
