2. INTRODUCTION • Malaysia is blessed with vast renewable sources of energy; biomass, biogas, solar, wind and mini-hydro. The potential for Renewable Energy (RE) is enormous, especially for biomass energy; whereby these resources are not traded and mostly homegrown. The potential of mini-hydro projects especially the run-of-the-river types is also huge, as the energy available from the streams of rivers in the country has been proven to provide considerable contribution to the supply of electricity in the rural areas. Solar energy is another type of RE resource that is abundant and readily available, as Malaysia is geographically located at the equator. In view of these potentials, the Malaysian Government encourages greater use of these non-depleting and environmentally friendly energy sources • The Government policies on RE have been documented in the Eighth and Ninth Malaysia Plans (8MP and 9MP), and the ten-year Third Outline Perspective Plan (OPP3). The integration of RE as the "Fifth Fuel" in the national energy scenario supports these policies, and encourages rapid up-take for physical implementation of RE projects. The core focus of the policies was to supplement our national energy mix to include contribution from RE and reducing the national dependence on depletable fossil fuel.

3. MALAYSIA’S MAJOR RE POTENTIAL • Detailed resources potential for wind energy and geothermal are yet to be fully examined and verified.

4. RE PROGRAMMES

5. DATA COVERAGE

6. DATA SOURCES • Energy Commission collecting RE data for power sector in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah • Ministry of Public Utilities Sarawak collecting RE data for power sector in Sarawak • Major utilities namely TNB, SESB and SEB also collecting data on RE from their respecting power stations

7. Electricity Generation and Installed Capacity of Renewable Energy by Public Licensee by Region in 2010

8. Electricity Generation and Installed Capacity of Renewable Energy by Private Licensee by Region in 2010

9. Malaysian National RE Policy Policy Statement: • Enhancing the utilisation of indigenous renewable energy resources to contribute towards national electricity supply security and sustainable socio-economic development Objectives: • To increase RE contribution in the national power generation mix; • To facilitate the growth of the RE industry; • To ensure reasonable RE generation costs; • To conserve the environment for future generation; and • To enhance awareness on the role and importance of RE.

10. National RE Policy: Strategic Thrusts (Action Plan)

11. Cumulative RE Capacity Target (1) Biogas: maximum potential that can be realised from POME, agro-based and farming industries is 410MW; (2) Biomass: maximum potential that can be realised from palm oil EFB and agro-based industry is 1,340MW; (3) Small hydro: maximum potential that can be realised from small hydro is 490MW Solid wastes (RDF, incineration, sanitary landfill): based on 30,000 tonne/day solid wastes as projected by KPKT followed by 3% annual growth post-2024.
