Strong policy and regulatory framework required to realise Malaysia’s NETR, say experts


As Malaysia transitions to greener energy alternatives, it is imperative for the government to simultaneously address the potential health and safety hazards that could arise as the nation explores the incorporation of alternative energy sources and electric vehicles (EVs).

THE newly released National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) by the Economy Ministry is the strongest signal yet of the Malaysian government’s commitment to achieve the country’s aspirations for net-zero emissions by 2050.

In a statement released on Aug 15, KPMG’s Infrastructure, Strategy & Operations head in Malaysia, Abhishek Kumar, noted a wider number of government agencies and regulatory bodies engaged in the preparation of this roadmap as a stride forward in progressive collaboration.
