Bright Prospects: The Case for Solar Power in Malaysia
14-Aug-24 15:00
Shabrina Nadhila, Electricity Policy Analyst for Southeast Asia, Ember
A new analysis by global energy think tank Ember reveals that solar power generation in Peninsular Malaysia was 53% cheaper than fossil fuels in 2023, offering significant cost savings and energy security benefits. The report highlights the untapped potential of Malaysia's solar resources, particularly in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak, and advocates for accelerated solar growth and grid integration to meet the country's renewable energy targets. We discuss the report with Shabrina Nadhila, the Electricity Policy Analyst for Southeast Asia at Ember, and how Malaysia needs enhanced policies to integrate solar and battery storage, emphasizing the need for a holistic, system-wide approach to ensure a secure and resilient energy future.
