Malaysia has historically generated most of its energy from oil, gas, and hydropower. Today, still, the country is heavily reliant on non-renewable sources with gas, oil, and coal accounting for a combined 80% of electricity produced, and hydropower is now responsible for just 16%.
On top of this, Malaysia's energy demand continues to rise. To meet this demand in a clean, sustainable way in line with its climate goals, Malaysia has been working to reduce its reliance on non-renewable energy. The government previously put various policies and legislation in place to support its renewable energy efforts.
Here, we look at how Malaysia is making great strides towards a cleaner energy future by focusing on hydropower and utility-scale solar energy.
