Malaysia’s energy mix is currently dominated by fossil fuels, which account for over 91% of the country’s total primary energy supply. In the electricity sector specifically, the dependence on fossil fuels—primarily coal and natural gas—is roughly 81% as of 2024.

Malaysia is rapidly positioning itself as a regional green hydrogen leader through its National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the Hydrogen Economy and Technology Roadmap (HETR). The country aims to generate over RM400 billion in revenue by 2050.

Several large-scale projects are currently in development across different states.
