(Aberdeen, 6th) At the 2025 Energy Export Conference (EEC), Sarawak once again reaffirmed its position as a leader in clean energy in Southeast Asia and announced its ambitious vision for energy transformation and export in the region.
Dato Hazlan, the Deputy Minister of Energy and Environmental Sustainability of Sarawak, emphasized in the keynote speech that Sarawak's energy transition strategy is built on the "four key pillars" and driven by "strong policy commitments, continuous innovative investments, and robust regional cooperation."
He said, "Sarawak proudly stands as one of ASEAN's pioneers in clean energy development. Our participation in the 2025 EEC Conference reflects our firm commitment to establishing new global partnerships and exporting low-carbon energy solutions to the world."
He further explained that Sarawak's energy strategy encompasses four key pillars: renewable energy, natural gas, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and hydrogen. This comprehensive strategy aims to promote sustainable growth and regional energy resilience.
Hazlan pointed out that currently, more than 70% of Sarawak's electricity comes from hydropower, and it is continuously expanding its renewable energy capacity and power export infrastructure to cover West Kalimantan, Brunei, and Sabah, with plans to expand to Singapore, further consolidating its strategic position as the 'battery of ASEAN.'
"Sarawak leads Malaysia in natural gas reserves and carbon capture and storage potential, while also showcasing strong growth momentum in hydrogen development through flagship projects and supporting legislation that attracts global investment."
Dato Sri Abdullah Zaidy, Deputy Secretary-General (Economic Planning and Development Division), also emphasized that international platforms like the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) play a key role in establishing global energy partnerships.
"Our appearance in Aberdeen clearly conveys Sarawak's intention—we welcome commercial cooperation, embrace innovation, and are ready to lead in clean energy exports."
In addition, the state-owned utility company Sarawak Energy Berhad shared its long-term plan for cross-border grid integration and sustainable development at the conference; while the energy subsidiary of the Sarawak Economic Development Corporation focused on highlighting active collaboration with Japanese and Korean companies in the hydrogen and ammonia export sectors.
With a clear strategic roadmap, well-defined policy framework, and international recognition from the World Economic Forum, Sarawak's clean energy development is unleashing its investment potential comprehensively, creating high-value employment opportunities.
As the International Energy Week 2025 and the 'Sarawak Energy Policy Framework 4.0' approach, Sarawak is actively inviting more global partners to join its clean and inclusive energy development journey.
