### 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.
