Abstract
With an increasing energy demand, energy security is progressively becoming crucial for Malaysia’s socio-economic growth. In addition, with the ratification of the Paris Climate Change Agreement, policies for the energy sector, which are the prime factors of global greenhouse gas emissions should be given thorough attention, especially for a developing economy like Malaysia. This paper is concerned with the design and development of a systems model to predict the behaviours of relevant energy market key indicators in transitioning Sabah’s energy sector towards a deregulated model. The dynamic and systemic nature of the electricity market necessitates a systems approach to model the scenarios projecting across envisaged possibilities in the transition process. Results show that 15% renewable energy penetration in Sabah will provide benefits of improving system performance, reduce fossil fuel dependence and harmful emissions, and increase system sustainability.
