The power reserve margin in Peninsular Malaysia has been projected to be between 28% and 36% from this year until 2030, which is above the minimum level necessary to cope with the demand for electricity in the event of supply disruptions at any power plants, and will provide sufficient reserves to cope with demand for charging electric vehicles,
“For example, the projected electricity supply demand in Peninsular Malaysia for this year is 19,480 megawatts, and we expect it to reach 20,049 megawatts by 2030, which is an increase of about 2.9%,” he said. This level of power reserve margin will be maintained according to the planning and implementation committee for electricity supply and tariff in order to ensure that electricity supply costs are affordable, deputy energy transition and water transformation minister Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir said.
