Malaysia Renewable Energy Roadmap
Abstract:
Moving forward, Malaysia aims to achieve a higher RE growth, from the existing 23% or 8.45 GW RE in its power installed capacity. Malaysia Renewable Energy Roadmap (MyRER) projected to increase the share of RE to 31% or 12.9 GW in 2025, and 40% or 18.0 GW in 2035. The RE Initiatives under this roadmap are expected to support Malaysia’s commitment to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction under the Paris Agreement led by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Malaysia’s global climate commitment is to reduce its economy-wide carbon intensity (against GDP) of 45% in 2030 compared to 2005 level. Realization of the Government’s vision is crucial in supporting the nation to achieve its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets. This talk will describe the identified resource potential, strategies, key actions, opportunities, current and future scenarios.
