Energy plays a vital role in our lives today. The main energy sources in Brunei are oil and natural gas. Brunei is the highest energy consumers in the ASEAN region with its consumption rate at 9293 kWh per capita in 2015, compared to Singapore's 8949 kWh per capita, and Malaysia's 4656 kWh per capita. This puts more strain on the available fossil fuel reserve. To increase the life span of the current fossil fuel reserve, it is therefore necessary to look for renewable energy and create awareness. The purpose of this paper is to find whether the implementation of renewable energy in Brunei can provide solutions to reduce problems on the over-reliance on fossil fuel. Based on our research and survey about awareness of renewable energy, this paper shows that renewable energy can contribute in terms of giving more sources of energy and a cleaner environment. There are economic, social, and environmental benefits in implementing renewable energy in Brunei. The type of renewable energy implemented depends on availability. In this regard more studies need to be conducted to support implementation of renewable energy.
