No Community
Left Without Power
Ending Energy Poverty in Our Lifetime
Malaysia isn't fully electrified. Not yet.
The reality is that over 600 communities still live without reliable access to electricity — many in rural and remote areas that the grid has not reached, or cannot sustainably serve.
This is not just an infrastructure gap.
It is a question of whether entire communities are able to participate fully in modern life — in education, livelihoods, and economic opportunity.
And the thing is...
0.2% of revenue from the top 50 listed companies in Malaysia will power every community in Malaysia that is still unelectrified.
Over the past few years, we have worked alongside these communities to deploy small-scale, community-governed renewable energy systems.
To date, this work has reached 50+ communities and over 1,000 households, supporting locally managed systems that communities can operate and sustain over time.
These efforts have shown that decentralised, community-based approaches are not only viable — they are often the most appropriate solution for last-mile electrification.
The challenge now is not
whether this works.
It is whether this can be
scaled with intention.
Reaching the remaining unelectrified communities across Malaysia will require more than isolated projects.
It calls for long-term collaboration across the private sector, philanthropy, and implementation partners — combining different forms of capital, expertise, and commitment.

A small group of organisations who are interested in helping to close this gap are coming together, not doing a one-off contribution, but as part of a broader effort to ensure that no community is left without power.
Different parts of this work will require different kinds of support — from catalytic funding to enable early-stage deployment, to longer-term partnerships that can help scale and sustain systems across regions.

This is an opportunity to contribute to a tangible, nationwide outcome:
ensuring that every community in Malaysia has access to reliable electricity.
