The End of Coal: What Malaysia Can Learn from the UK’s Success

https://youtu.be/yWnLtre7_2o

How did the UK go from being coal-powered to shutting down its last coal-fired power plant in 2024? What lessons can Malaysia learn from the UK’s journey to cleaner energy?

In this video, I explore the UK’s energy transition, focusing on two key success factors:

  1. Carbon legislation and pricing mechanisms that made coal unviable and drove investment in renewables.
  2. Leadership and clear policy goals under the Climate Change Act 2008, which created a legally binding roadmap to Net Zero

The UK’s transition away from coal offers valuable insights for Malaysia as we chart our own path to sustainability. However, lofty goals must come with bold action. I also pose some questions for you to consider: – How should carbon legislation be implemented in Malaysia? – What bold actions do we need to ensure we reach Net Zero?
