Abstract

Malaysia’s Renewable Energy (RE) Feed-in Tariff (FIT) (REFIT) is a new incentive for energy producers, which is not clear enough for investors. This study utilizes an archival research method on the current Malaysian policies, plans, strategies, and action plans to present a comprehensive view of the Malaysian solar part of the FIT policy. This paper discusses the Malaysia’s REFIT scheme and the policy benefits of implementing FIT in the solar sector. The Malaysian solar energy sector can preserve the country’s oil and gas reserves, thus reducing carbon production and stopping environmental degradation. This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of Malaysian FIT model, and concludes with an analysis of this design, with a focus on its implications for investors and for society.
