Malaysia is among the most highly developed states of the Southeast Asia region and a founding member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Over the next three decades, the Malaysian economy is expected to triple in size, while its population is projected to rise to over 40 million people; consequently, primary energy supply in Malaysia is set to increase by 60% over the same period.
The Malaysia Energy Transition Outlook provides a comprehensive, renewables-focused, long-term energy pathway for the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy system in Malaysia. It also explores end-use sector electrification, the rapid expansion of renewable generation, energy efficiency solutions, the role of emerging technologies such as clean hydrogen and batteries, as well as the importance of expanding regional power sector integration, both within the country and with neighbouring countries.
In addition, the outlook presents sector-specific technological pathways and investment opportunities that will help Malaysia to accelerate its energy transition.
