Malaysia’ Energy Policy
•
Aims to ensure the provision of an
adequate, secure and cost-effective
energy supply in the country;
•
To provide a more optimum energy
mix in the country,
•
Renewable Energy was announced
as the fifth fuel in the new Five Fuel
Strategy in the energy supply mix,
•
RE will contribute 5% of the
country's total electricity demand
by the year 2005
•
Utilization of renewable resources,
such as biomass, biogas, solar and
mini-hydro, for energy generation

Malaysia’s concerns with CDM activities
• Many prospectors but no
real investors
• Depressing CDM market
• Assisting developing
countries to achieve
sustainable development or
procuring CERs at low price
• High cost of accreditation of
operating entities
• Registration Fees
