As the global community increasingly shifts its focus towards sustainable development and combating climate change, renewable energy policies have become pivotal in shaping national and regional energy landscapes. Malaysia, as a developing nation with a rapidly growing economy, has recognized the importance of renewable energy sources in achieving its socio-economic goals while addressing environmental concerns. This paper explores Malaysia’s renewable energy policy framework and assesses its impact on neighboring countries in the Southeast Asian region. Through a comprehensive analysis of policy measures, incentives, challenges, and achievements, this paper elucidates the significance of Malaysia’s renewable energy endeavors in fostering regional energy security, sustainability, and cooperation.
