Goal 7:

Affordable
and clean
energy
 Lack of access to clean and sustainable energy
constrains human and economic development.

SDG 7 aims to ensure access to affordable,

reliable, sustainable and modern energy from
INTRODUCTION clean sources such as solar, wind and thermal
for all by 2030.

The share of renewable energy in final energy consumption

increased by only 0.4 percent between 2012 and 2014. Access to
electricity increased 0.3 percent between 2012 and 2014, still
leaving approximately 1.1 billion people without electricity. At
these current growth levels, demand for clean energy will
continue to outstrip supply, depriving millions of opportunities
for progress.
 Malaysia has a bright future in terms of
renewable energy adoption, which is supported
by a generally favorable investment climate.
Green energy opens up new possibilities for
Malaysia.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) has by far the greatest
technical potential in Malaysia, and it is backed
INTRODUCTION up by processes that make it more affordable.

Another possible area of opportunity is biomass

power generation, which can take advantage of
the country's palm oil sector as a fuel source.
