Govt To Hold First National Energy Council Meeting By October 2023

Rafizi Ramli

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 -- The government plans to hold the first meeting of the National Energy Council as early as October this year, said Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli.

He said the National Energy Council, chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the Ministry of Economy as the secretariat, would set forth high-level strategic directions and policies, allowing for the working committees to coordinate and report the progress in turn.

“The establishment of the National Energy Council is the strongest signal yet of the government’s intention of moving beyond blueprints and into the nitty-gritty of implementation,” he said in his keynote address at the second day of the Energy Transition Conference here, today.

Rafizi said, in order to realise the economic gains for the country, there are three critical structures that would become the bedrock of the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) ambitions.

He said Malaysia needs a strong governance, substantial financing, and a credible and transparent exchange system.
