Abstract

The transition of the usage of fossil fuels to renewable energy after centuries of technological and economic support requires a set of efficient legal frameworks. Achieving widespread implementation of renewable energy involves substantial challenges, namely inefficiency of policies, lack of financial assistance, and unsecured economic instruments. Adopting the comparative method and research interviews, this research compares the comprehensiveness of the laws governing renewable energy in Malaysia with Canada. Further, to critically analyze the correlation on the effectiveness of legal frameworks on the production of renewable energy and to provide critical insight into the legal frameworks governing renewable energy in Malaysia.
