There are currently no regulations in Malaysia requiring a percentage of energy consumption to come from renewable sources.
Under the Malaysia Renewable Energy Roadmap (MyRER), the Government of Malaysia aims to achieve a 31% renewable energy share in the national capacity mix by 2025, 40% by 2035, and to attain decarbonization of the electricity sector by 2035. The MyRER strategic framework comprises the following technology-specific pillars:
- Solar pillar
- Bioenergy pillar
- Hydro pillar
- New solutions and resources pillar, including geothermal, wind and energy storage technologies
The above would consider the outcome of MyRER's assessment on available renewable energy resources, existing institutional and regulatory frameworks, industry practices and technology adoption, as well as projected future social and economic development. Key actions are planned to realize respective milestone targets, which include, among others, the net energy metering scheme.
