Besides the conventional four-fuel mix, the five-fuel mix strategy under several national policies are introduced to diversify and expanding the resources to incorporate renewable energy and nuclear. In view of Malaysia will become a net energy importer by 2020, the increase in alternative energy shares at least will provide stable energy security, more economical and greener environment. In this paper, present and future energy sources are discussed to emphasis on the constraints and barriers facing Malaysia towards energy security and sustainability. Several preferences on future energy sources are under serious consideration where renewable energy (RE) is becoming one of the popular choices as Malaysia recognizes the potential of RE as sustainable and greener option. 2013-03-07T07:47:43Z 2013-03-07T07:47:43Z 2012-08 Article Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, vol. 16 (6), 2012, pages 4047-4055 1364-0321 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032112001839 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/23981 en Elsevier Ltd.
