Malaysia’s clean energy transition will be a key factor shaping the nation’s competitiveness for the next 50 years, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

Speaking at the launch of Race to Zero 2026 during the Clean Energy Transition Asia (CETA) Summit 2025 on Thursday (Dec 11), Fadillah, who also serves as Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, highlighted that by 2030, Asean’s electricity consumption is expected to match that of Japan and South Korea combined.
