Malaysia Accelerates Path to 70% Renewable Energy and Integrated Water Security
English
- Ambitious RE Targets: Malaysia is committed to achieving 70% renewable energy (RE) capacity by 2050 under its National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), with an interim goal of 35% by 2030.
- Current Progress: As of October 2025, the country has reached 31% installed RE capacity.
- Key Initiatives:
- Launching the Large-Scale Solar Programme (LSS 6) in early 2026.
- Introducing the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) to allow direct procurement of green energy.
- Expanding the Solar ATAP programme for residential self-generation and the Community Renewable Energy Aggregation Mechanism (CREAM) for collective solar.
- Infrastructure Challenges: The government acknowledges that grid infrastructure, storage systems, and network flexibility must scale faster to prevent intermittency issues as solar penetration increases.
- Integrated Water Policy: The Ministry (PETRA) is prioritizing a shift toward integrated water management, including strengthening the National Water Council and exploring alternative supplies like desalination and groundwater to enhance climate resilience.
