This is because of the continued support of the Energy Efficiency Incentive (Insentif Cekap Tenaga) mechanism, which will help energy-efficient households cope amid rising fuel costs. On the country’s energy supply, Siti Safinah said it remains stable, particularly for electricity and gas, despite the current global fuel crisis. She noted that about 80% of the natural gas used to generate power in the country is sourced domestically. However, she said the country is not insulated from price increases, as 100% of coal for power generation is imported from several sources. Siti Safinah suggested that households consider adopting energy-efficient measures, including the installation of affordable solar panels, as a means to reduce electricity consumption.
