PUTRAJAYA, Sept 2 — The Malaysia Energy Literacy Programme (MELP) official website was launched today as a national energy literacy reference centre that is interactive, easily accessible and resilient — in line with Malaysia Madani aspirations to create a more energy-literate society.
The Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry (PETRA) said the website, launched by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, who is also energy transition and water transformation minister, at a gathering with PETRA staff here today.
“This website provides various digital reference tools, including articles, guides, infographics, videos and educational content,” it said in a statement today.
According to PETRA, the development of the MELP website was led by the Energy Commission and with the active participation of MELP strategic partners.
They are PETRA, Sustainable Energy Development Authority, MyPOWER Malaysia Programme Office for Power Electricity Reform, Yayasan Hijau Malaysia, Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation, Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB), Malakoff, NUR Power, and Edra Energy.
“This initiative is capable of enhancing public understanding on, among others, the importance of energy, efficient use of energy, electrical safety and the role of all parties in supporting the country’s goal of zero carbon by 2050.
“The MELP serves as a bridge of energy-related knowledge for all, equipping them with authentic and practical information to practice in their daily lives. It is a small but significant step towards a sustainable energy future for the country,” it added.
PETRA said it is committed to strengthening energy literacy efforts through MELP as a vessel for the inclusive sharing of knowledge and awareness.
“With this website, efforts to bring the message of sustainable energy to the people can be intensified, thus supporting the national socio-economic development agenda that is in line with Malaysia Madani aspirations,” the ministry said.
