Five-Fuel Policy (late 90’s)
• Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency as the
fifth fuel and to further diversify energy base
and to create a sustainable energy future
National Green Technology Policy
• To attain energy independence and promote
efficient utilisation whilst conserving and
minimising the impact to the environment
The National Energy Policy (1979) was formulated to create an efficient,
secure and environmentally sustainable supply of energy. Comprises
three principle objectives.
National Depletion Policy (1980) was intended to conserve the
country’s energy resources, particularly oil and natural gas
Four-Fuel Policy (1981)
• Reduced dependence on oil as fuel for electricity generation
• Gas becoming primary fuel

NATURAL GAS WAS OFFICIALLY BROUGHT TO THE MALAYSIAN POWER SECTOR WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF FOUR FUEL POLICY, 1981
THE POLICY DRIVES THE FUEL MIX EVOLUTION FROM OIL DOMINANT TO GAS DOMINANT OVER A FEW DECADES
Malaysia has been highly dependent on fossil fuels: Oil (1970s) Natural Gas (1990s to 2000s) Coal ??

• Several breakdowns of gas infrastructure led to severe gas shortages to the power sector • This is made worse by the fast depleting domestic gas fields • The supply shortages of up to 26% adversely impact the power sector operationally and financially
OVERDEPENDENCE ON GAS IS DEEMED RISKY AS THE POWER SECTOR WAS BADLY HIT BY GAS SHORTAGES IN RECENT YEARS

• MFO and distillate contributed to about 5% of fuel mix in 2011 and 2012
• This translates into approximately RM 5.5 billion of additional system cost due to expensive price of MFO and distillate ( 5 to 6 times higher compared to local gas price)
…WHICH LED TO A SMALL BUT SIGNIFICANT “CAMEO” OF EXPENSIVE DISTILLATE AND FUEL OIL IN PENINSULA MALAYSIA’S FUEL MIX

• In the long run, the depletion of domestic fields can be made up by the importation of LNG
• However, the competitiveness of other fuels may affect the LNG’s attractiveness
THE FUTURE FUEL MIX MAY FURTHER CHANGE WITH THE DEPLETION OF INDIGENEOUS GAS AND MOVEMENT OF FUEL PRICES

• Based on current market price, coal is too competitive for LNG
• Economic signals will guide the future fuel mix to swing from gas dominant to coal dominant
• LNG/ local gas is expected to play a different role in the future fuel mix
ON PURE ECONOMIC BASIS, THE FUEL MIX MIGHT HAVE A NEW BACKDROP IN FAVOR OF COAL
10
• Coal is 100% import with more than 60% comes from Indonesia (current)
• Overdependence on coal may pose fuel supply risks as it is sensitive to weather condition, policy changes in supplier countries, competition from other economies, etc.
• In addition, it may also expose the country to environmental risks due to carbon emission
HOWEVER, OVERDEPENDENCE ON ONE FUEL SOURCE IS NO LONGER SUSTAINABLE FOR THE COUNTRY

Proposal for the utilization of 7 Security Metrics to address fuel mix and energy security issues as follows:
POLICY INTERVENTION MAY PROVIDE TWIST AND TURN IN THE LIGHT OF SECURITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
12
ES3 with HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index) for fuel mix is aimed to diversify the future fuel mix with the target HHI value of not more than 0.5 by year 2020 and not more than 0.4 by 2025.
HHI value reflects the diversity level of a system (the lower the value the better more diversified)
• Gas/LNG may help to diversify the fuel mix which indirectly helps to maintain and improve the security level of energy industry
• LNG may also provide a cheaper alternative to distillate and MFO in the event of domestic gas supply shortages
TAKING HHI GUIDELINE INTO CONSIDERATION, GAS/LNG MAY HAVE AN IMPORTANT ROLE TO PLAY IN THE FUTURE FUEL MIX

LNG will play an important role to complement the depleting indigenous gas fields and aging gas infrastructure
LNG can also be a cheaper alternative to distillate and MFO
The demand for LNG in power sector is very much dependent on fuel prices and government directive
LNG may help to diversify the future fuel mix which is important to maintain and improve the energy security level
The economy must be ready to pay the price of improved energy security that LNG may bring
