enhance the national power system grid resiliency , capability and security , and offer long-term LCOE buffer against natural gas and coal price volatility risk . In this context , both China and South Korea , which are presently heavily investing in the Energy Transition RE Green Sustainability Initiatives and pushing for coal-fired power plant phase-out decarbonisation programmes , are very much nuclearised in their long-term energy / electricity development planning scenario outlook . Malaysia should take heed of this .

Additionally , the Energy Transition will also witness mass adoption of electric vehicles in the 2025 – 2030 period , further driving decarbonisation via electrification through the Smart Grid EV charging infrastructure . By promoting Energy Efficiency ( EE ) initiatives through the Knowledge Automation Smart Grid and Internet-of-Things technologies , there will be handsome opportunities for future electricity consumers to optimise their energy usage and increase their monetary savings . Finally , there will be great opportunities for this Energy Transition to create new high-skilled jobs and build new economic engines for Malaysia .
