Malaysia Energy Minister Warns Grid and Storage Must Scale Faster to Meet Renewable Targets
English
- 31% RE Achievement: Malaysia reached 31% renewable energy share of installed electricity capacity in 2025, a significant milestone
- Grid Infrastructure Lag: Energy Minister warns that grid infrastructure, system flexibility and energy storage deployment are not scaling at the same pace as renewable generation
- Intermittency Risks: The mismatch creates intermittency issues and potential power curtailment, especially in high solar penetration areas
- 2030 Target: 35% RE capacity share under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR)
- 2050 Target: 70% RE capacity share — requires massive infrastructure transformation
- Import Dependency: Malaysia relies on imported solar panels and batteries, limiting domestic value creation
- Demand-Side Gap: Demand-side transformation (energy efficiency, flexible demand, distributed generation) lags behind supply-side growth
- Market Reform: Government shifting from quota-based to market-driven frameworks; CRESS scheme allows direct renewable procurement by corporates without quotas
- Strategic Priorities: Grid modernisation, BESS deployment, hydrogen development, RE manufacturing, and ASEAN Power Grid integration
- Industrial Challenge: Pathways for decarbonising hard-to-abate industrial sectors remain uneven

- 31%可再生能源里程碑:马来西亚2025年可再生能源装机占比达31%,取得重要进展
- 电网基础设施滞后:能源部长警告,电网基础设施、系统灵活性和储能部署未能跟上可再生能源发电的增长速度
- 间歇性风险:这种不匹配导致间歇性问题和潜在的电力削减,尤其在太阳能高渗透地区
- 2030年目标:根据国家能源转型路线图(NETR),可再生能源装机占比目标35%
- 2050年目标:可再生能源装机占比目标70%——需要大规模基础设施转型
- 进口依赖:马来西亚依赖进口太阳能电池板和电池,限制了国内价值创造
- 需求侧滞后:需求侧转型(能效提升、灵活需求、分布式发电)落后于供给侧增长
- 市场改革:政府从配额制转向市场化框架;CRESS方案允许企业直接采购可再生能源,无需配额
- 战略重点:电网现代化、储能系统部署、氢能开发、可再生能源制造及东盟电网一体化
- 工业脱碳挑战:难以减排的工业部门脱碳路径仍然不均衡
