Malaysia’s energy transition is accelerating — but for businesses on the ground, the path is shaped by a constant balancing act between energy security, affordability, and sustainability. This working session pairs the strategic and the practical.  Malakoff opens with the realities of the transition from the supply side: surging demand from data centres and industry, the constraints of going fully renewable today, and why a pragmatic, diversified energy mix — with gas as a transition fuel alongside renewables — defines the near-term landscape businesses should plan around.  Solarvest then translates that landscape into action: the clean energy options available to companies today, from C&I rooftop solar to on-site generation, the policy mechanisms that enable them — NEM, CGPP and beyond — and real project case studies showing how businesses are structuring their decarbonisation pathways in practice.

Approvals are moving in Johor but projects are stalling between award and energisation. This is the most common and costly problem in the market right now — and MPSEA has seen it across hundreds of members. In this session, MPSEA walks delegates through the five stages every project must clear: from Notice to Proceed to grid application, mTNB connection milestones, metering setup, commissioning sign-off, and first invoice. Real examples from Johor projects are used throughout. Delegates identify where their own project sits in the pipeline and what the next action is. Takeaway: A project delivery checklist covering every milestone from NTP to energisation, ready to use immediately
