| Congratulations to the National Energy Awards (NEA) 2024. |
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 13 (Bernama) -- The National Energy Awards (NEA) 2024 uphold its tradition of honouring industry leaders and organisations for their commitment to adopting energy efficiency, renewable energy, technologies and practices. This year, 25 recipients are honoured for their significant contributions to optimising energy management, improving energy efficiency, and advancing renewable energy.
Spearheaded by the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), the NEA supports Malaysia's goal of reducing reliance on carbon-based fuels and promoting sustainable energy practices across all sectors, advancing the nation toward net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.
This year’s National Energy Awards (NEA) received 134 submissions from various sectors, including healthcare, government bodies, and private sectors. These efforts collectively saved 315.37 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy usage annually, which is equivalent to about RM 45 million in reduced energy bills per annum at current tariffs, and generated over 283.71 GWh annually from renewable energy sources. The healthcare sector, particularly government hospitals, stood out with more than 65 submissions, showcasing strong leadership in energy efficiency and setting a positive example for others. This high level of participation underscores the sector’s commitment to sustainability and the country’s energy-saving goals.
“I am inspired by the progress made by various sectors in advancing our country’s energy transition agenda. The commitment to sustainable energy development and practices will drive Malaysia’s future growth. Congratulations to the National Energy Awards (NEA) 2024 winners! Your contributions to energy sustainability highlight Malaysia’s leadership in energy management, renewable energy and energy efficiency.” said Dato` Sri Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusof the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA).
These energy savings are crucial in advancing the nation's environmental goals, contributing to an annual reduction of 238,504.41 metric tons of carbon emissions, equivalent to planting 5,962,610 trees. This demonstrates Malaysia's continued dedication to a just and sustainable energy transition, in line with the country's pathway to achieving net zero by 2050.
