Malaysia Renewable Energy Ambition
Internationally, during the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26), the world has set a target to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C, with over 100 countries making net-zero 2050 commitments including Malaysia, alongside the USA, and Europe. According to Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad in March 2023, Malaysia’s current RE capacity stood at 11.3GW or 25% of the national installed capacity. The country has a target of 31% of RE share in the capacity mix by 2025 before rising further to 40% and 70% by 2035 and 2050 respectively. Hence, it is expected that RE capacity to rise to 18GW by 2035.
Key Driver for Solar Energy Adoption in Malaysia
It is widely expected that solar energy will be the most favourable form of RE in Malaysia, alongside other options such as hydro and wind. Indeed, solar PV has grown rapidly at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 56.4% to more than 2GW since 2011 (Chart 3). The key driver for solar energy adoptions is discussed as below:
