The government will provide the appropriate support through its policies in promoting the development of the country’s energy transition ecosystem.
Natural Resources, Environment, and Climate Change Minister, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said energy transition, which is in line with Malaysia’s aspiration to be a carbon-neutral nation, is very important but it must be inclusive without leaving out or burdening anyone, especially the B40 group.
The ministry hopes efforts towards the use of renewable energy (RE) will encourage all Malaysians to use more efficient and affordable energy.
In addition to lowering the cost of living, it should also protect the vulnerable groups who are often victims of climate change,” he said during a working visit to Tenaga Nasional Bhd’s (TNB) headquarters yesterday.
TNB, in a statement issued today along with the minister’s speech text, said Nik Nazmi received a briefing from its president and chief executive officer Datuk Baharin Din about the company’s important role in ensuring safe, reliable and quality electricity supply to more than 9.66 million customers in Peninsular Malaysia.
Nik Nazmi further said investment in electricity infrastructure development investment is crucial in line with TNB’s commitment in spearheading the country’s energy transition by championing RE generation and implementing the Energy Transition Plan.
