Installed capacity and generation mix of three-quarters of the total installed capacity in Malaysia . RE capacity totalled up to 24.5 per cent in 2022 , which is an increase from 23.2 per cent in 2020 . This is a positive indication that we are on track to achieve our national target of 31 per cent RE in the capacity mix by 2025 .
The total electricity generation ( excluding self-generation plants ) in 2020 was recorded at 167,742 GWh , a reduction of 2.3 per cent from 2019 level which was at 171,672 GWh . Coal is the dominant fuel used to generate electricity with its share of 53.0 per cent . This was followed by natural gas at 28.8 per cent , hydropower at 16.3 per cent , renewables at 1.6 per cent and oil at 0.4 per cent . The total electricity consumption stood at 152,250 GWh in 2020 , which showed a reduction of 4.0 per cent from the 2019 .
Malaysia ’ s electricity capacity is divided between independent power producers ( IPPs ) and Tenaga Nasional Berhad ( TNB ). The nation operates three major grids in Peninsular Malaysia , Sabah , and Sarawak , each facing unique challenges and opportunities in the transition to cleaner energy . •
