Introduction

CIGRE Malaysia (formerly known as Malaysian National Committee of CIGRE or MNC-CIGRE) is a direct affiliate to the Paris-based CIGRE, with membership ranging from power engineering related industry to local higher learning institutions. Since its inception in 1996, CIGRE Malaysia has carried out many activities with respect to promoting electrical power engineering research and education in Malaysia.

Several international level events such as the CIGRE Regional Meetings and Symposium have been successfully organised in Malaysia over the years with participation from local as well as international delegates. CIGRE Malaysia has been viewed as a neutral non-profit entity in Malaysia that provides a common platform where people within the power industry can discuss and share many important issues on electrical power systems.

CIGRE Malaysia is also an active member in the CIGRE Asia Oceania, which is an CIGRE umbrella regional organisation for National Committees within Asia Oceania.
