The Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry (Petra) will focus on accelerating the shift towards renewable energy (RE) and strengthening national water resource management as Malaysia moves into the fourth year of the Madani agenda, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof was quoted as saying in a report by The Malay Mail.
Fadillah, who is also the energy transition and water transformation minister, said the government remains committed to achieving its target of generating 70 per cent of the country’s electricity capacity from renewable sources by 2050 as outlined in the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR).
He said Malaysia has reached 31 per cent installed RE capacity as of October and the target will be raised to 35 per cent by 2030 under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP).
“To reach this target, the government will expand several strategic initiatives, including the launch of the Large-Scale Solar Programme (LSS 6) in early 2026, an additional 300-megawatt quota for biogas, biomass and small hydro under the Feed-In Tariff (FiT) scheme, and the introduction of the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS).
“This will enable consumers to source green energy directly from producers,” he told Bernama in conjunction with the ‘Rancakkan Madani Bersama Malaysiaku’ programme and the 2025 National Public Service Reform Convention, which will take place from December 5 to 7 at Dataran Putrajaya.
