Energy

Sarawak reaffirms its leadership in clean energy at IEW 2025, showcasing innovations in hydropower, hydrogen, and green technology while positioning itself as a key regional energy supplier.

Sarawak is reinforcing cybersecurity within its smart, low-carbon agenda to ensure secure digital adoption, boost public trust, and support its sustainable development goals through resilient digital infrastructure and clean energy.

Since its incorporation in 2017, Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (PETROS) has made strides in Sarawak’s oil and gas sector – from energising the sector’s upstream and downstream activities to developing a future-ready local workforce.

Sarawak’s strategic shift towards renewable hydropower began in the 1980s with the commissioning of the Batang Ai Hydroelectric Plant in 1985. With over 40 years of experience in hydropower development, the Sarawak Government-owned energy development group has evolved into Malaysia's hydropower specialist, with a vision to be a regional renewable energy powerhouse committed to a sustainable future.

Governments and companies alike began investing in green infrastructure, advocating for more sustainable consumption behaviours, and undertaking large scale multi-nation projects such carbon capture and pricing.

Waste-to-energy is part of creating a sustainable, circular economy, whereby we keep resources in use as long as possible.

The Government is actively playing a pivotal role in strengthening waste management and transforming environmental governance to enable better management of the environment and natural resources.

With a focus on Regional Net Zero and Sustainable Communities, SAREF 3.0 will look to explore how Southeast Asian countries can achieve ambitious net-zero targets through a just and inclusive energy transition centred on people and sustainable communities, driven by renewable energy development and regional interconnections.

Blessed with abundance of natural resources, Sarawak is committed to environmental sustainability and the energy transition by leveraging on clean, renewable, and green energy.

The pilot project at Medan Saberkas Miri is an ongoing effort by the Sarawak Government to promote green energy among small and medium-sized businesses.
