Therefore, in order to meet the increasing demand, energy supply infrastructure will need to
be continuously developed and at the same time ensuring its long-term energy security and
mitigating carbon emission by intensifying energy efficiency initiatives and enhancing
development of Renewable Energy (RE) sources such as solar and biomass for sustainable
development. Although new alternative and renewable and more efficient technologies are
being developed and implemented every year, the strain caused by the rise in energy demand
and global consumption outweigh the benefits brought by these improvements. This concern
has led to major challenge facing the power industry that is to have a sustainable energy
policy and diversified sources of energy mix.
POLICY RELATED TO RENEWABLE ENERGY
The notion was further pursued under the 9th Malaysia Plan
(9MP) between 2006-2010 where efforts to utilize RE
resources and efficient use of energy were further promoted.
The government set a target of 300MW in Peninsular
Malaysia and 50MW in Sabah for power generation by 2010
to promote and provide more conducive environment to
support the implementation of RE projects
RE POTENTIAL IN MALAYSIA
Since domestic fossil fuel resources (oil, gas and coal) are
depleting, efforts to promote renewable energy as a fifth fuel,
especially for electricity generation has been intensified during
the 9MP.
Some
of BioGen significant projects include the first 14MW (export
10 MW) power plant in Tawau, Sabah which uses oil palm
residues (empty fruit bunch, fibre and shell) that successfully
mitigate 40,000-50,000 tons of CO2 in 2004 and more
recently, a 46.2MW and 500 kW power plants are gridconnected
and commissioned in April 2009 and a total of
700MW off-grid electricity has been produced by private palm
oil millers.
From
the awarded capacity, 1,084 kWp representing 65 systems
have been commissioned and connected to the TNB grid. The
unit cost of the grid-connected BIPV system has also reduced
to RM 19,120 per kWp from the baseline of RM 31,410 per
kWp in year 2005 which translates to 40 percent cost
reduction. In addition, a total of 1,070 tonnes of CO2
equivalent GHG emissions have been avoided through the
displacement of fossil fuel with the installment of the PV
system
