RE policies still lagging


Chong said the industry no longer needs incentives for large solar power generation.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia may have set ambitious targets of 70% renewable energy (RE) capacity and net-zero emission by 2050, but its policies are still lagging behind, according to an industry leader.

Malaysian Photovoltaic Industry Association president Davis Chong said there continues to be various constraints in the domestic RE space, despite the government’s positive move to introduce the National Energy Transition Roadmap in July.
