| Summary: | Energy security and energy threat are worldwide issues as fossil fuels are exhaustible
due to the robust development and economic growth. Many countries across the border support
the efforts for alternative energy generation to ensure their energy supply. An energy transition
from unsustainable fossil fuel sources to renewable energy (RE) has been reflected by the
promulgation of various law and policies in numerous regions and the establishment of the
International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Malaysia has also taken several measures
to accelerate RE development including the enactment of the Renewable Energy Act 2011 (Act
725). This study focuses on the importance of RE in securing energy supply in Malaysia and
discusses the implementation of the Renewable Energy Act 2011 in the country. This study
adopts a doctrinal approach by analyzing existing RE law in Malaysia. |
