PETALING JAYA: A flexible and resilient power grid will be essential for the transition to clean energy and the electrification of the Malaysian economy.

While energy transition and climate change are secular trends that present challenges and opportunities in areas like electrification, generation, and storage, substantial investment will be needed to upgrade the current energy distribution and transmission grid through digitalisation to meet the relationship between renewable sources and the growing demand from customers.
