He said it also provided an advantage for the country to promote sustainable energy management programmes at the international level as a reference source in the Southeast Asian region.

“UTeM is now also focusing on becoming an excellent institution in research and practice related to Demand Side Management (DSM) and achieving the UTeM Seven Strategic Goals (SSG) within the next 5 years.
