The east-route pipeline is connected to the Power of Siberia pipeline which transports Russian gas to China. A second project, Power of Siberia 2, is currently under consideration and could have a capacity of 50 bcm/year.

Southeast Asia remains highly dependent on imported fossil fuels, with such energy sources – especially coal – making up nearly 80% of the region's rising energy demand since 2010

Over the longer term, the Government had proposed to the relevant authorities to restart nuclear power projects and robust development of offshore wind energy.

“Since the decision has been made by the National Energy Council and endorsed by the Cabinet, nuclear energy is likely to be included in the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK-13) as one of the country’s official energy sources,” Rafizi told reporters after the National OGSE (Oil & Gas, Services & Equipment) Blueprint Forum 2024 in Kuala Lumpur.
