PASIR MAS, July 23 — Malaysia’s installed renewable energy (RE) capacity stood at nearly 32 per cent in June, putting the country firmly on course to achieve its 35 per cent target by 2030, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
He said this reflects the nation’s steady progress in driving its energy transition agenda under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR).
He added that Malaysia already achieved 31 per cent installed RE capacity by December 2025, meeting the government’s target, with the next milestones set at 35 per cent by 2030 and 70 per cent by 2050.
“Through the NETR, the government has laid out a clear roadmap to transform the country’s energy sector.
“Energy transition is not an option. It is a strategic necessity to ensure our energy security, strengthen economic resilience, attract high-quality investments, and uphold Malaysia’s commitments to the global climate change agenda,” he said in his speech at the launch of the Large-Scale Solar Project (LSS5) here today.
Fadillah, who is also energy transition and water transformation minister, said the government is committed to ensuring the nation’s energy transition is balanced and grounded in the principles of energy security, cost affordability, and sustainability.
He added that it will strengthen access to competitive green electricity supply to support the national energy transition agenda and attract more quality investments.
