Renewable energy consumption is the dependent variable, and there are 3 independent variables which are global oil price, economic growth, and CO2 emissions, where global oil price is the main independent variable in this research. A quantitative study has been conducted for this research by utilizing secondary data obtained from Our World in Data (OWID) and the World Bank (WB). For the data spanning the 30-year period from 1993 to 2022, multiple regression analysis has been performed in order to assess how the independent variables impacts the dependent variable. The findings of this study reveal that global oil pricesimpacts consumption of renewable energy negatively in which it is statistically significant. Whereas, renewable energy consumption is impacted by economic growth and CO2 emissions positively, in which it is statistically significant. According to these results, the government of Malaysia should concentrate on diversifying the energy mix of the nation through the promotion of renewable energy production and consumption, so as to guarantee energy security and its affordability in Malaysia. Keywords: Impact, Global Oil Price, Renewable Energy Consumption, Diversify, Energy Security
24 27 - PublicationAnalyzing the macroeconomic determinants that contribute to the adoption of renewable energy in Malaysia(2025-03-04)Inas Sabrina Samsol AnuarThe present project aims to analyze the Macroeconomic Determinants That Contribute To The Adoption of Renewable Energy in Malaysia. Economic growth, urbanization, CO2 emission level and foreign direct investment were selected as independent variables, with renewable energy as dependent variable. Examining the relationships between renewable energy adoption and other independent variables is the goal of this project, which makes use of quantitative data from 1992 to 2023. Another objective is to investigate the structure of this interaction in boththe short and long run. This study applied the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to identify significant short and long run correlations between renewable energy and the variables presented. The statistical package EViews and Microsoft Excel were utilized for the analysis. The results highlight how important it is to understand the complex interactions that occur between macroeconomic determinants and renewable energy. This present project also suggests several policy recommendations to encourage the use of renewable energy sources and reduce environmental pollution in Malaysia. Keywords: Renewable Energy, Economic Growth, Urbanization, CO2 Emission Level, Foreign Direct Investment, Malaysia
