PASIR MAS — Malaysia’s renewable energy installed capacity stood at nearly 32 per cent as of 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 achievement reflects the nation’s steady progress in driving its energy transition agenda under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR).

He added that Malaysia had already achieved 31 per cent RE installed 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 Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), said the government remains committed to ensuring the nation’s energy transition is carried out in a balanced manner, grounded in the principles of energy security, cost affordability, and sustainability.

At the same time, he added, it will strengthen access to competitive green electricity supply to support the national energy transition agenda and attract more high-quality investments.
