Malaysia's cumulative solar capacity reached 5,777 MW by the end of 2025, adding roughly 1,448 MW over the year, according to 'IEA-PVPS' data. This growth was primarily driven by the country's large-scale solar ('LSS') and net energy metering ('NEM') schemes. In early 2026, Malaysia replaced the 'NEM' with the Solar Accelerated Transition Action Program ('ATAP'), which removes quota constraints to boost rooftop solar adoption but focuses strictly on self-consumption without export benefits. Meanwhile, data centers are spurring mega-projects, including a 1.5 GW solar-plus-storage initiative, though the government has recently restricted new non-AI data centers to manage energy resources.
