KUALA LUMPUR: Terengganu, a state traditionally reliant on petroleum royalties to fund its budget, could rebrand itself as a hub for renewable energy (RE) in Malaysia.

The East Coast state is already involved in various RE segments, according to Terengganu Inc Sdn Bhd president and group chief executive officer Datuk Burhanuddin Hilmi Mohamed.
