Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), Fadillah Yusof, announced on October 22 that the 2,000-megawatt offshore wind energy project connecting Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore is slated to complete its initial phase by 2034, according to Reuters.

During a Malaysian parliamentary session, Yusof stated that 700 megawatts of the project’s capacity are earmarked for domestic use in Malaysia, while the remaining 1,300 megawatts will be exported to Singapore.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that the project’s second phase will involve extending the transmission line northward from Vietnam to Peninsular Malaysia via land routes through Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand.
“This project will be reviewed based on energy demand and economic assessments following the full completion of phase one,” Fadillah Yusof remarked.
The trilateral collaboration between Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore marks a significant milestone in cross-border green infrastructure development and the harnessing of ASEAN’s renewable energy potential.
As an ASEAN member, Vietnam is advancing its strategic vision to become a regional hub for renewable energy, with a strong commitment to clean energy development, emissions reduction, and meeting Southeast Asia’s growing energy demands.
