Highlights

  • The GHG emissions intensity is planned to be reduced by 45% in 2030.
  • For renewables, the country targets a 40% share in the power capacity mix in 2035 and a 17% share in the energy mix in 2040.
  • Two public companies dominate the energy sector: TNB for electricity and Petronas for oil and gas.
  • The share of renewables in the power mix has increased by 14 points since 2010 to 20% in 2025. Thermal generation is shared between coal (46%) and gas (32%).
  • Final energy consumption has been increasing by 4.5%/year since 2022.
  • Diesel price increased by 25% following the removal of subsidies. Gasoline and diesel are much cheaper than in the most developed Asian countries.
  • The National Energy Plan 2022-2040 aims to reduce the share of coal in the power capacity mix from 31% in 2018 to 18.6% in 2040.
  • Petronas is partnering with various companies to explore the potential and viability of CCS technology, making Malaysia a key CCS hub in the ASEAN region.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

    The Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) was established in 2023 to drive Malaysia's national energy policy, oversee the transition to renewable energy, manage electricity generation and distribution, and oversee the water sector.

  • Energy Companies

    Oil:

    Petronas is involved in exploration-production activities through its subsidiary Petronas Carigali. Petronas' global assets produced 779 kboe/d in 2025 (-4% compared to 2024) through overseas exploration activities in more than 20 countries.

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Oil:

    Oil production has decreased by 2%/year since 2010, reaching 24.5 Mt in 2025. Previously, it remained roughly stable over 2000-2010 at around 33 Mt.

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Transport:

    Gasoline prices declined steadily between 2022 and 2024, falling at an average rate of 3%/year, before rebounding by 14% in 2025, reaching US$0.51/l on average. Diesel prices rose at an average of 8%/year from 2022 onward, with two sharp increases in 2024 (+25%) and 2025 (+17%), bringing them to US$0.69/l in 2025.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Electricity:

    Electricity consumption in Peninsular Malaysia is projected to grow at around 4.5%/year over the medium term, driven by economic expansion, population growth, electrification, rising cooling demand, and accelerating data‑centre development.

The Malaysia energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Malaysia country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
