Yesterday, I was at Sandakan to look into the power woes and to discuss how to prevent a hugh power outage as happened last 30th April.

I am happy to inform that the Federal Government has agreed to provide RM60 million for strengthening the electricity supply system in Sandakan.

This morning, I visited the construction sites for two new power plants for Sabah’s future electricity supply in Kimanis slated to be ready by 2015/2016.

FUTURE OF ENERGY IN MALAYSIA

Published on April 25, 2012 in Energy and article. 11 Comments

I gave a talk on “FUTURE OF ENERGY IN MALAYSIA” at the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MICCI) event held yesterday at Hotel Renaissance, Kuala Lumpur.

In my presentation, I touched on a variety of energy-related topics, namely Energy Security, Fuel Supply and Pricing, especially Gas Pricing, Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Conservation, Nuclear option and Restructuring the Electricity Supply Industry.

Energy Security is very crucial in supporting Malaysia’s socio-economic growth trajectory towards becoming a high income nation in 2020. Energy is the foundation that supports and spurs the socio-economic development of a country. Development is not possible without energy and sustainable development is not possible without sustainable energy. However, the underlying concern in Malaysia with respect to its national energy security is how to ensure continuous supply of our fossil fuels at affordable prices as a result of depleting indigenous oil and gas resources.

With depleting local gas reserves and the need to adhere to stricter environmental regulations whilst still having to meet the requirement for growing electricity demand, the consideration of new options in the future generation fuel mix are inevitable to ensure security of supply through sustainability, adequacy of fuel supply, diversity in fuel supplies and affordable prices.

Going forward, we will ensure that the energy supply in Malaysia is sufficient, reliable and cost effective to ensure our regional competitiveness in trade and industry.
