National Energy Center (NEC)
A Strategic Hub for Energy Research and Talent
Soft launched in June 2022, this centre of excellence has been set up to play a strategic role in conducting a diverse portfolio of energy-focused research projects, in collaboration with experts from renowned local and international universities as well as industry leaders, all with the purpose of positioning Malaysia as a regional energy hub.
It also aims to establish a Strategic National Energy Framework to transform Malaysia into an energy hub and provides industry players with the opportunity to become a strategic partner by opening a branch or a satellite laboratory incubator in the NEC.
Driving Energy Innovation and Research Excellence
The NEC is representative of ideals that combines education, innovation, and policy together in a single ecosystem while keeping Malaysia’s ambition for a sustainable, secure, and inclusive energy future.
The centre has been set up to serve as a training ground for both engineers and energy professionals, and is now home to six of UNITEN’s specialised research institutes.
