Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Economic Planning Unit (EPU), a powerful planning body under the supervision of the Prime Minister, drafts the country's energy policy through its energy division (Energy Section). Decisions are taken by a restricted council of ministers, the "Cabinet Committee on Energy".
Energy Companies
Oil:
The oil sector is dominated by Petronas (77.2% public, 8.5% foreign investors).
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production declined by 14% in 2019 at 29 Mt after remaining stable over the past ten years. The development of E&P activities in deep-water fields of the eastern region such as Gumusut-Kakap or Kikeh has enabled the declining outputs from the mature fields of the Peninsula to be offset.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Electricity prices for households increased until 2014 and then have remained stable around US$8.0c/kWh since 2015. For industry, electricity prices have been relatively steady since 2010 around US$9.0c/kWh.
Electricity prices are similar to those in Vietnam or Indonesia and cheaper than in Thailand.

Energy Consumption
In 2019, consumption per capita was 2.8 toe. This is higher than neighbouring countries. Electricity consumption per capita has increased from 3 900 kWh per capita in 2010 to 4 750 kWh in 2019.

Issues & Prospects
Oil:
Petronas plans to reduce its investments by 21% and its operating costs by 12% in 2020, due to collapsing energy demand and falling oil prices linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company originally planned to spend US$11.5bn in 2020. Most of the capital expenditure cuts will be made outside of Malaysia, but some domestic projects are likely to be delayed.
