Climate change with the rise of greenhouse gas emissions due to the massive use of fossil-fuels could negatively affect the quality of natural environment over the globe. With this, renewable energy should be promoted as the alternative source of energy among the electronic and electrical (E&E) firms in order to reduce the dependency on fossil-fuels and move towards to energy efficiency. In Malaysia, government has committed to optimising use of green technology which is capable of assisting the E&E industry to produce products with less impact to the environment and socio-economy improvement to the society. The E&E firms have limited resources to manage renewable energy (RE) internally that currently gained suppliers supports to assist the implementation of green technology and energy management. Thus, this study aims to explore the challenges of renewable energy management implementation and how the firms managed low carbon issue in the supply chain. The outcome of this paper is expected to be the basis for the concept development of renewable energy supply chain.
