In addition, TNB launched their myGreen+ product, a retail renewable energy oering that pairs EACs with electricity sales. The New Enhance Dispatch Arrangement (NEDA) was established in 2017 allowing merchant generators to sell power to a single buyer. Sarawak and Sabah Corporations now have the potential to procure both osite physical PPAs and virtual PPAs, although there have been limited transactions to date. Sarawak and Sabah are two independent Malaysian states located on the island of Borneo. In December 2019, Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB), the Sarawak vertically integrated utility, launched a renewable energy certificate (REC) platform and issued its first REC under the Tradable Instrument for Global Renewable (TIGR) registry. In 2016, SEB began exporting electricity to West Kalimantan, Indonesia, which, pending RE100 market boundary guidance, could potentially allow Indonesia RE100 members to source RECs from SEB. Sabah Electricity Sdn. Bhd (SESB) serves the state of Sabah and currently does not oer any known corporate renewable energy procurement options.

  • Marine Renewable Energy Legal Framework in Malaysia: a Way Forward
    Journal of Sustainability Science and Management eISSN: 2672-7226 Volume 15 Number 3, April 2020: 101-112 © Penerbit UMT MARINE RENEWABLE ENERGY LEGAL FRAMEWORK IN MALAYSIA: A WAY FORWARD FARAHDILAH GHAZALI*1 AND MAIZATUN MUSTAFA2 1Institute of Oceanagraphy and Environment, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, Malaysia. 2Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws, International Islamic University Malaysia, Jalan Gombak, 53100 Selangor, Malaysia. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Being a nation that is surrounded by seas, Malaysia is seen to have the potential to harness energy from the sea. At present, renewable energy is already considered to be an important focus within the country’s low emissions strategy particularly through the enforcement of the Renewable Energy Act 2011. However, the scope of this Act is inadequate to include energy from the sea as it is confined only to eligible renewable energy sources under the feed-in tariff scheme. The objective of this paper is to highlight the legal and regulatory requirements governing marine renewable energy development in Malaysia particularly in sustainably capturing tidal and wave potential. As an alternative, this paper explores the viability of ocean energy as another source of renewable energy. The paper adopts a doctrinal approach and suggests some measures within the law and policy which when considered would help towards the development of marine renewable energy. The authors recommend for Malaysia to adopt the Nova Scotia’s legal framework. This model could well be applied provided that there is a strong political will and policy drivers to achieve the national objectives in accelerating renewable energy sector, particularly from marine sources.

  • Dam Operation Under Changing Climate: Analysing Water Availability and Hydropower Production from Murum Dam in Sarawak
    K. W. Yusof, et al., Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 14, No. 3 (2019) 237–244 DAM OPERATION UNDER CHANGING CLIMATE: ANALYSING WATER AVAILABILITY AND HYDRopowER PRODUCTION FROM MURUM DAM IN SARAWAK KHAMARUZAMAN WAN YUSOF1, MUBASHER HUSSAIN2 & MUHAMMAD RAZA UL MUSTAFA1 1 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Sri Iskandar, Malaysia. 2 Hydro Department, Sarawak Energy Berhad, Kuching, Malaysia. ABSTRACT In this study, we assessed the climate change impact on water resources availability and hydropower energy yield from the Murum Dam in Sarawak state of Malaysia. Precipitation ensembles of three general circulation models from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) were used to simulate daily inflows at Murum Dam for the historical period of 1976–2015 and for the future period of 2011–2100 under two future scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). A rainfall-runoff model was developed using Australian Water Balance Model approach to simulate river inflows atM urum Dam. Reservoir operation model was developed using HEC-ResSim to simulate the operation for Murum Reservoir under the historical and future projected inflows. It is noted that the mean river inflow at Murum Dam would increase by 4% and 11% during 2080s under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively. Similar results are noted while simulating the Murum reservoir operation; it is noted that the average annual energy from Murum Hydroelectric Plant would increase by 5% and 12% during 2080s under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively. Keywords: climate change, hydropower, reservoir operation, Sarawak, water resources. 1 INTRODUCTION Hydropower is the major source of global renewable energy production as it is the most eco- nomical source of renewable energy.

    Power to Grow SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FOR SARAWAK AND BEYOND ANNUAL REPORT 2016 SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FOR SARAWAK AND BEYOND “Sustainable energy for Sarawak and beyond” captures our ambition to provide clean and reliable power for the growth and prosperity of the region. This year, we officially opened the Murum Hydroelectric Plant, enabling us to deliver an additional 944MW of energy to Sarawak; began to export power to West Kalimantan in Indonesia; signed a letter of intent with the Northern Province of Kalimantan and continued our plans to work with Brunei and Sabah to advance the Borneo Grid. As we develop our indigenous natural resources in pursuit of economic and social progress, renewable, reliable and affordable energy will play an increasingly vital role in accelerating sustainable development for Sarawak and the region. Murum HEP is located on the Murum River in the upper Rajang River basin, 200km from Bintulu. It is designed to produce 711MW (constant) and 944MW (peak) from a 2,750sq km catchment area feeding a 270sq km reservoir. Construction began in 2008 and by mid-2015 the station was fully operational, delivering its specified power into the State Grid.
