Sarawak has announced its Energy Transition Policy (SET-P), becoming the first state in Malaysia to introduce a comprehensive strategy of this kind.
The policy sets out seven key directions for low-carbon energy development and aims to establish a new State Energy Council. The initiative is expected to generate an estimated economic value of MYR 550 billion (about USD 129.9 billion).
New policy projected to create 80,000 jobs, nurture green talent
Premier Abang Johari made the announcement on Aug. 11 during the Public Industry Engagement Day organised by the Ministry of Energy and Environmental Sustainability (MEESty). He outlined seven priority areas for future development: renewable energy, natural gas, energy efficiency, low-carbon transportation, clean hydrogen, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), and alternative energy.
