Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the government also backs Sarawak’s ambition to become a regional hydrogen production hub.
“The federal government, particularly the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), ensures that Sarawak’s energy transition initiatives, including RE supply and generation planning, are integrated into national development plans.
