Driving Malaysia’s green future with cutting-edge technology: an interview with Gentrack on Berita RTM

Featured: Berita RTM

In an era of rapid technological advancement, Malaysia stands at the forefront of a green revolution powered by innovation. As Berita RTM, one of Malaysia’s leading news channels, highlights, the nation’s energy landscape is evolving with cutting-edge technology paving the way toward a sustainable future.

Recently, our General Manager of Gentrack Asia, Geoff Childs, sat down with Berita RTM to discuss the transformative role of technology in reshaping Malaysia’s energy infrastructure. The conversation focused on two key areas driving this change: grid modernisation and decentralisation. These advancements are crucial to enabling a more resilient, efficient, and environmentally friendly energy network for the nation.

Modernising the grid for a greener tomorrow

Malaysia’s shift towards green energy isn’t just about reducing emissions; it’s about creating a smarter, more agile energy system. Modernising the grid means integrating digital solutions and advanced monitoring systems to better manage energy distribution and demand. This level of oversight allows for improved reliability and efficiency while accommodating a growing portfolio of renewable energy sources.

As Geoff notes, “Grid modernisation isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a transformation that allows utilities to respond dynamically to the changing energy needs of both consumers and industries.”

Empowering consumers through decentralisation

At the heart of this green transition is the concept of decentralisation. Instead of relying solely on a centralised power supply, decentralisation allows consumers to generate, store, and even sell back energy to the grid. This shift puts control in the hands of consumers, giving them the flexibility to adopt sustainable practices and contribute directly to the nation’s energy mix. For both residential and commercial consumers, this represents a unique opportunity to participate actively in Malaysia’s green energy journey.

Geoff Childs on Gentrack’s vision for a sustainable Malaysia

In his interview, Geoff Childs emphasised the importance of adopting innovative practices and technologies to accelerate Malaysia’s path to sustainability. “Empowering utilities and consumers with advanced technologies is essential to achieving energy efficiency,” Geoff explained. “Our goal at Gentrack is to provide solutions that not only make energy more accessible and affordable but also more sustainable.”

As Malaysia works towards its sustainability goals, the role of companies like Gentrack is more critical than ever. By delivering forward-thinking solutions for the energy sector, Gentrack is not only supporting utilities but also empowering consumers to take part in shaping a cleaner, greener Malaysia.
