EUROCHAM Malaysia Highlights Impact Of Electricity Tariff Increase On Foreign Investment

On the 30th of June 2025, in response to the newly announced electricity tariff increase, EUROCHAM Malaysia CEO, Mr. Karl Godderis highlighted the potential impact on foreign investment and industrial competitiveness.

“Raising rates for industries, which already pay more than households, is counterintuitive and risks deterring investment,” he said.

Karl also emphasized the need for stronger collaboration between the private sector and policymakers to ensure that any tariff revisions support sustainable economic growth rather than hinder it.

EUROCHAM Malaysia continues to advocate for constructive dialogue and inclusive policy-making, particularly on industrial electricity tariffs and renewable energy frameworks, both of which play a critical role in investment decisions and long-term competitiveness.
