Accelerating Malaysia’s transition to renewable energy (RE) so we can fulfil our international pledge of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 will require significant effort and investment in areas of electrification, public-private partnerships, and energy efficiency, says Seda Malaysia.

“Malaysia has a huge potential to achieve RE acceleration and meet its objective. However, achieving these targets will require significant effort and investment,” it says in an email replying to queries from The Star.
