人口变化、人口急剧增加和工业迅速增长是马来西亚正在出现的主要趋势。气候变化和化石燃料的枯竭以及石油价格的上涨迫使马来西亚政府重新考虑与其他发达国家更加一致的战略，包括决定开始使用可再生能源（RE）资源，作为全球能源结构中更好的能源来源。马来西亚政府正在努力制定更有效的政策、可再生能源计划和激励措施，以促进和发展可再生能源的使用。马来西亚拥有丰富的化石燃料，但这些燃料正在迅速枯竭。虽然可再生能源是必要的，但目前的可再生能源资源仍然不够。因此，为了满足未来的能源需求，必须考虑勘探其他资源。本文的目的是确定马来西亚现有可再生能源的潜力以及该国目前的实施战略。本文还讨论了马来西亚不同的可再生能源政策。为了确定可再生能源的潜力，使用了各种来源和会议上发表的材料、国际期刊和有关政府机构发布的信息以及各种资源。这项研究表明，在马来西亚现有的所有可再生能源中，生物质能和太阳能是最有前景的。此外，可再生能源（RE）非常有利，因为它们没有温室气体（GHG）排放和相关的全球变暖效应。它们也可以应用于农村社区的离网发电。
Demographic change, dramatic population increase and rapid industrial growth are major trends emerging in Malaysia. Climate change and depletion of fossil fuel along with the rise in petroleum prices have forced the Malaysian Government to rethink strategies to be more in line with other developed countries including the decision to embark on renewable energy (RE) resources as a better source of energy amongst the global energy mix. The Malaysian Government is making frantic efforts to make policies, RE programmes and incentives more effective so as to promote and develop the use of RE. Malaysia is rich with fossil fuel but these are fast depleting. Although RE is necessary, current RE resources are still not enough. Therefore, exploration into other resources must be considered in order to meet future energy demands. The objective of this paper is to identify the potential of available renewable energy resources in Malaysia as well as the country׳s current implementation strategies. This paper also discusses the different RE policies in Malaysia. In order to determine the potential of RE, various sources and published materials in conferences, international journals and information released by relevant government bodies and miscellaneous resources are used. This research has revealed that among all the renewable energy sources that are present in Malaysia, biomass and solar energy are the most prospective ones. Plus, renewable energy (RE) sources are quite advantageous as they are free from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related global warming effects. They can also be applied in off-grid electricity generation for rural communities.
