Energy transition will bring about robust investments, job opportunities, says minister

Malaysia’s clean energy transition for the power sector will bring about robust investments and create more job opportunities, said Energy and Natural Resources (KeTSA) Minister Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan. Through the implementation of the Malaysia Renewable Energy Roadmap, the government targets an accumulative direct investment of RM53 billion and 47,000 job opportunities. The Roadmap focuses on four key renewable energy resources: solar, biomass, biogas and hydropower. Minister Takiyuddin stressed the commitment of the government on ensuring a “reliable, equitable and sustainable energy system in Malaysia, and called on the private sector to support Malaysia’s aspiration toward a cleaner future.
