The spinoff of this collaboration between MIGHT and UNITEN teams is the development of the comprehensive Smart Grid Regulatory Framework document, which entails detailed analysis on recommendations for policy owners and regulators— vital in ensuring effective Smart Grid implementation.

In addition to strengthening national policies and regulations, a well-planned capacity building and awareness programme was developed and executed. The Smart Grid Training Courses targeted recipients from various stakeholders ranging from decision and policy makers right to business operators, universities, schools, and the public. Among others, the Melaka Smart Grid Technology Summit 2023 (MSGTS 2023), had gathered 500 key players in Smart Grid- related areas and provided a platform to elevate and promote the best practices for Smart Grid technology and solutions at the national level. Indirectly, the Smart Grid Project also supports Malaysia’s aspiration to achieve net-zero emissions as early as possible. This project is in line with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely, Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, Goal 13: Climate Action and Goal 17: Partnership for Goals.
