In a public meeting on June 25, Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof revealed the country's timeline for phasing out coal-fired power plants to achieve its net-zero commitment by 2050. By 2035, Malaysia aims to reduce its coal power plants by half and retire all of them by 2044. Despite coal being a major energy source for the country, decarbonizing the energy sector poses significant challenges.
