Malaysia is an industrialized market economy. About 40% of the country's revenue is generated from oil and gas export. Therefore, it is not surprising to note that that fossil fuel is the primary source for electricity generation. According to the data from the national Energy Balance 2010, 53% of the electricity generation is met by natural gas, 40% is met by coal, 5% by hydro and 2% by coal.<ref name="ASEAN">http://aseanrenewables.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/MY-Malaysia_Rev03.pdf</ref> | Malaysia is an industrialized market economy.

Introduction
Energy Sector
Malaysia is an industrialized market economy. About 40% of the country's revenue is generated from oil and gas export. Therefore, it is not surprising to note that that fossil fuel is the primary source for electricity generation. According to the data from the national Energy Balance 2010, 53% of the electricity generation is met by natural gas, 40% is met by coal, 5% by hydro and 2% by coal.[1]
Renewable energy sector
In terms of installed capacity of the renewable energy in Malaysia, biomass is the highesht with about 48%. This high number comes from the fact that malaysia is the largest palm oil producers and has abundant biomass. Solar occupies the second position with about 19% of the total installed capacity, followed by hydro with 17% of the total installed capacity.[1]
The Malaysian Government is very keen on developing the renewable energy market of Malaysia and thus has introduced various schemes such as Feed-in tariff (FIT), tax exemptions and so on. The FIT scheme covers biomass,biogas ,small hydro and solar photovoltaics.The FIT is explained in detail in the figure below[1] 
Electricity Situation
Malaysia has in total 16 electricity tariffs, however the figure below provides an overview of the electricity tariff in three main sectors mainly residential , commercial and industrial.[1]
