Meanwhile, Fadillah revealed that Malaysia has proposed purchasing up to 300 megawatts (MW) of firm electricity supply from Thailand to bolster the country’s energy security and flexibility amid rising domestic electricity demand. He also emphasised Malaysia’s readiness to go beyond traditional bilateral energy exchanges and explore structured multilateral trading arrangements. "Malaysia proposes initiating discussions on the possibility of purchasing up to 300 MW of firm electricity supply from Thailand. "Projections of increasing electricity demand in the coming years drive this proposal. "Firm energy imports from Thailand are expected to provide additional supply security and flexibility in meeting national energy needs,” he explained. During an official working visit to Thailand, Fadillah led the Malaysian delegation, which included Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry Deputy Secretary-General (Energy) Mareena Mahpudz and other senior officials. As part of the visit, the Deputy Prime Minister attended a briefing by Trans Thai-Malaysia (TTM) Thailand, hosted by Petronas, to gain insights into the company’s direction, challenges, and current developments in Thailand.   (ICE KUALA LUMPUR)
