Malaysia looking to export green electricity to new capital Nusantara

Malaysia is viewing Indonesia’s Nusantara Capital City (IKN) project as a potential export market for its green electricity as it sets its sights on becoming ASEAN’s renewable energy hub. Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, Malaysia’s Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change, told an interview with The Jakarta Post on Wednesday in Jakarta that he expected Sarawak to play a major role in supplying Indonesia’s new capital with green electricity, citing the state’s abundance of renewable energy sources. “I think Sarawak will play a big role in that. I mean, it has a lot of hydroelectricity resources. In that way, it’s a bit similar to Laos with the mountains,” Nik Nazmi said.
