UiTM SRI & NBR Co-Host The Indo-Pacific Energy Summit 2022

The Indo-Pacific Energy Summit 2022 (PES2002) was jointly organised by the UiTM Solar Research Institute (UiTM SRI) and the National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) on 31 October 2022. Themed "Understanding Southeast Asia's Vision for Energy and Climate Security in the Indo-Pacific", the summit brought together high-level stakeholders to discuss creative solutions to the twin problems of rising energy demand and climate change.

In this regard, I am pleased to announce that UiTM is the first higher learning institution in Malaysia to own and operate two Large Scale Solar Photovoltaic (LSSPV) plants. With this remarkable achievement, UiTM joins the ranks of world-leading institutions that include the University of California, Stanford University, and the University of Queensland, all of which own and operate LSS power plants. Meanwhile, UiTM is also working to develop a Master's and Professional Degree in Energy Transition and Emerging Technologies.

In this regard, I would like to express my gratitude to Ms Noor Afifah Abdul Razak, Deputy Secretary General (Environment), Ministry of Environment and Water (KASA), and Mr Roy D. Kamphausen, President, NBR, for their support and presence during the event. Thank you to all who participated in PES2022 and congratulations to UiTM SRI and NBR.

UiTM SMRI & NBR ANJUR SIDANG TENAGA INDO-PASIFIK 2022.

Berlangsung pada 31 October 2022, Sidang Kemuncak Tenaga Indo-Pasifik 2022 (PES2002) telah dianjurkan bersama oleh UiTM Solar Research Insitute (UiTM SRI) dan The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR). Bertemakan "Memahami Visi Asia Tenggara untuk Tenaga dan Keselamatan Iklim di Indo-Pasifik" sidang ini melibatkan pihak berkepentingan peringkat tertinggi dalam meneroka penyelesaian inovatif kepada dua cabaran iaitu peningkatan permintaan terhadap tenaga dan perubahan iklim.

Dalam hali ini sukacita saya kongsikan bahawa UiTM adalah universiti pertama di Malaysia yang memiliki dan mengendalikan dua loji Fotovoltan Suria Berskala Besar (Large Scale Solar Photovoltaic - LSSPV). Dengan wujudnya LSSPV, UiTM kini berbangga berada di kalangan universiti terkemuka dunia seperti University of California, Stanford University, dan University of Queensland, yang turut memiliki dan mengendalikan loji janakuasa LSS. Sementara itu, UiTM juga kini dalam perancangan mewujudkan program Sarjana dan Profesional dalam bidang ‘Energy Transition and Emerging Technologies’.

Dikesempatan ini, saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih atas sokongan dan kehadiran Puan Noor Afifah Abdul Razak, Timbalan Ketua Setiausaha (Alam Sekitar), Kementerian Alam Sekitar dan Air (KASA), dan Encik Roy D. Kamphausen, Presiden, NBR. Terima kasih juga kepada peserta yang hadir ke PES2022 dan tahniah kepada UiTM SRI dan NBR. ~RT
