Since its inception in 2018, the NEA has increased industry participation and understanding of sustainable energy practices that adhere to global standards. NEA has also helped promote the importance of acquiring a sustainable ecosystem among Malaysian organisations. 

The award aligns with Malaysia’s vision to reduce the country’s reliance on carbon-based fossil fuels while embracing alternative renewable energy resources.

The two key objectives of NEA include:

1. To identify Malaysia’s organisations with the best sustainable energy practices to represent the country at Asean Energy Awards (AEA). 
2. To encourage the adoption of sustainable practices across all industries and sectors to drive Malaysia closer to the aspiration of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.

Spearheaded by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change, The National Energy Award (“NEA”) is an award that recognises the adoption of sustainable energy concepts and practices for Malaysia’s business organisations across all industries and sectors.

The NEA initiative, which supports Malaysia’s ambition to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, encourages adopting sustainable energy practices and sharing knowledge of activities that adhere to sustainable energy standards. This is aligned with Malaysia’s aspiration to be net-zero GHG emissions by 2050
