SINGAPORE: Malaysia boosted natural gas-fired power generation and slashed reliance on coal in December, grid operator data analysed by Reuters shows, as rising production bolstered local supply and helped expand liquefied natural gas exports.
Gas-fired power generation accounted for most of a nearly 5% rise in electricity supplied to Peninsular Malaysia in December, making up for a 4.3% decline in coal-fired output, real-time data from Malaysia's Grid System Operator (GSO) showed.
