VCIG Launches VCI Energy, Appoints Former Franklin Templeton MD Victor Lee as CEO to Drive Clean Energy Expansion

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”), a cross-sector platform builder integrating deep technology with financial architecture to enable sovereign-ready digital ecosystems, today announced the launch of VCI Energy Limited (“VCI Energy”), a wholly owned subsidiary dedicated to clean energy and sovereign-scale infrastructure. This move represents VCI Global’s formal entry into the global clean energy infrastructure sector.

To drive this initiative, VCI Global has appointed Victor Lee, former Managing Director of Franklin Templeton, as Chief Executive Officer of VCI Energy. Mr. Lee brings extensive experience in institutional investment and infrastructure financing, positioning the subsidiary to capture capital-efficient, large-scale opportunities across renewable generation, energy storage, and sovereign energy infrastructure.

“Energy is the backbone of sovereignty, and one of the most attractive long-term investment opportunities. By establishing VCI Energy, VCI Global is extending its cross-sector platform into a market with exceptional growth visibility and global demand. Under Victor Lee’s leadership, we expect VCI Energy to unlock scalable partnerships, recurring revenue streams, and long-term value creation for our shareholders,” said Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VCI Global.

VCI Energy’s initial focus will be on three high-growth verticals:

  • Clean Energy Generation & Storage: investments in renewable energy assets and next-generation battery and microgrid systems to strengthen energy independence.
  • Sovereign Energy Infrastructure: integrated frameworks designed to align with national strategies for digital, AI, and data sovereignty.
  • Strategic Partnership & Investments: collaboration with governments, utilities, and institutional investors to deliver large-format clean energy projects across Asia and beyond.

The clean energy infrastructure market is entering a rapid expansion phase, fuelled 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. Asia Pacific is expected to represent one of the fastest-growing regions, driven by large-scale renewable deployment, electrification initiatives, and sovereign investment in energy resilience, an area where VCI Energy is uniquely positioned to compete.

“I am honoured to lead VCI Energy at such a pivotal moment in the global energy transition. Our vision is to create a clean energy platform that combines sustainability with sovereignty and delivers strong returns for investors while contributing to the world’s shift toward resilient and future-ready energy systems,” said Victor Lee, CEO of VCI Energy.
