Penang Silicon Island

A 2,300-acre island development project over the next 10 to 15 years will be one of the key enabling strategies towards fulfilling the Penang State's vision – a World-Class Tourist Destination, a Green Technology Park for knowledge workers, and a project with Smart City Planning addressing Environmental Sustainability.

ESG-compliant and in line with Penang2030 vision

PSI supports and complies with UN SGD goals; ESG principles; the Low Carbon Cities Framework; recommendations by the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) and National Physical Planning Council; and the state's Penang2030 vision that centres on family-focused development.

PSI will have:

20% of land on Island A reserved for green parks, mangroves, water canals, wetlands, floodplains and bioswales to enhance biodiversity and cool the environment by 1-2 degrees Celsius

7km of Central Canal, 3km of public beaches and 5km of the esplanade

140km of bicycle and walking tracks island-wide and a 7km navigational waterway to encourage the use of green mobility, including water transportation

A 100% renewable energy-powered Green Tech Park to achieve 50% carbon reduction by 2030

Minimum platform level of 3m above mean sea level to face any joint occurrences of high tides and a 1,000-year storm surge
