NEEAP 2.0 sasar penjimatan RM85 bilion, wujud 29,000 pekerjaan
Pelan 10 tahun itu juga dijangka menarik RM36 bilion pelaburan swasta dan mengurangkan pelepasan karbon sebanyak 26 juta tan menjelang 2035.
Malaysia's Energy, Technology and Water Transformation Ministry (Petra) has announced the launch of the National Energy Efficiency and Action Plan 2.0 (NEEAP 2.0) for the period 2026-2035. Petra's Director-General, Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir, presided over the launch, alongside Abdul Rahman Mohamad, Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz, Mad Zaidi Mohd Karli, and Mareena Mahpudz.
The plan is expected to generate RM85 billion in green energy savings and create approximately 29,000 new job opportunities. Additionally, it is projected to attract RM36 billion in private sector investments. NEEAP 2.0 builds upon previous action plans and will continue until 2035, aiming to enhance energy efficiency in industrial, commercial, and domestic sectors while promoting inclusivity among all segments of the population.
The strategic targets for NEEAP 2.0 include a 11.6% improvement in electricity and thermal energy efficiency compared to the status quo, along with a cumulative reduction of 815,000 terajoules (TJ) in energy consumption. This amount is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of the entire East Coast of Malaysia. Petra estimates that implementing NEEAP 2.0 could simultaneously reduce carbon emissions by 26 million tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2035.
The plan was launched at the International Sustainable Energy Summit 2026 (ISES 2026), which will serve as a framework for the next phase of Malaysia's energy efficiency initiatives.
