Malaysian media quoted the country's Minister of Economy Akmar Nasraullah Mohammed Nasir as saying that as the country reduces the carbon footprint of the energy industry, additional gas power generation installations are needed to meet future electricity demand. The government is no longer planning to build new coal-fired power plants; the last coal-fired power plant is expected to be decommissioned in 2044. Malaysia also needs continued investment in power grids and supporting infrastructure.
