The climate crisis supercharged the deadly storms that killed more than 1,750 people in Asia by making downpours more intense and flooding worse, scientists have reported. Monsoon rains often bring some flooding but the scientists were clear: this was “not normal”.

Malaysia is rapidly industrialising with expanding economic sectors and industrial parks driving the nation towards new heights of development. With climate risks rising and global momentum building around decarbonisation, Malaysia urgently needs to boost its renewable energy share.

Climate change is battering Asia’s water and power systems and putting millions in harm’s way, forcing countries to pour billions into shoring up basic services, according to two recent reports.

A total of 375 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy has been channelled to Singapore through Energy Exchange Malaysia (Enegem) as of October 2025, involving the implementation of a pilot phase scheduled to end in December 2026.

Southeast Asia faces a pivotal decade in its energy transition as rising demand, climate risks and ageing infrastructure place unprecedented pressure on utilities. Consequently, artificial intelligence will now become essential to ensuring the region’s energy resilience, reliability and sustainability.

Australian households will be able to access free electricity for three hours every day, in an effort to encourage energy use when excess solar power is being fed into the grid.

The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) developed by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) is expected to commence operations by the end of 2026, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.

At the forefront of Malaysia’s clean energy transformation is the country’s utility giant, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB). As the backbone of the nation’s power sector, TNB plays a crucial role in advancing RE with a target of 10GW by 2030 on the local and international front.

Supporters of a global phaseout of fossil fuels must find “creative” ways to keep the proposal alive, including making it voluntary rather than binding, the UK energy secretary, Ed Miliband, has said in the closing stages of the UN climate talks.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a $470 million results-based loan to PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), Indonesia's state electricity corporation, to accelerate the country's transition to renewable energy and advance its goals for sustainable and low-carbon economic growth.

A total of 133,030 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy savings, worth RM60,395, has been achieved this year through the Energy Efficiency Challenge organised by the Energy Commission (EC), said Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

Malaysia must accelerate the adoption of technology to remain competitive amid rising demand, global price uncertainty, shifts in investment landscapes, and the push toward decarbonisation, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
