Malaysian Green Technology Policy

The Malaysian Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water provide several energy efficiency policy, industry and householder guides via their website. While the content of these is very useful (the incentives for industry in particular), the formatting of the reports in very large PDF files makes them difficult to access:

• National Green Technology Policy - eBook: Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 (Bahasa Malaysia)
• Incentives For Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Guidebook
• Your Guide to Energy Efficiency at Home- eBook: Part 1

The policy is in Bahasa Malaysia, but web based translation does a reasonable job (other documents are in English):
