KUALA LUMPUR: The 2023 National Energy Awards ceremony has recognised 38 industry players and institutions for their efforts and initiatives in the application of renewable energy practices and energy efficiency.
"This is equivalent to electricity bill savings of over RM200 million and a reduction in carbon emissions of over 23,000 metric tons per year," he said. He added that the NEA and AEA winners are the best in the field of sustainable energy at the national and regional level and said that the victory shows the ability of local industry to present ideas and innovative solutions in optimizing supply and sustainable energy use.
Fadillah said the energy sector, including the electricity supply sector, accounts for almost 80% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Malaysia, adding that his ministry is determined to reduce the carbon footprint of the electricity supply sector.
