Wind energy is one of the fast-developing sources of clean energy in the last decades due to the speedy development of wind turbinesâ�� capacity and the possibility of installing them at offshore sites. Malaysia has set-up a promising plan for renewable energy development to reduce GHG emissions by 45 by the year 2030. To date, Malaysia is depending on conventional methods for power generation such as natural gas coal and hydro. This paper discusses the future of wind power in Malaysia in terms of defining the most suitable places and their energy density and the techno-economical aspect of wind energy. It was found that Terengganu, Borneo, and Sabah are the most suitable places with an average annual wind power density greater than 500 kWh/m2. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021. date: 2021 publisher: Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85100780372&doi=10.1007%2f978-981-33-6311-3_96&partnerID=40&md5=21ad7a03b9dba76fad643f3b21690be0 id_number: 10.1007/978-981-33-6311-3₉₆ full_text_status: none publication: Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering volume: 132 pagerange: 844-851 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9789813363106 issn: 23662557 citation: Alsubal, S. and Liew, M.S. and Lim, E.S. and Harahap, I.S.H. and Nasser, A.M.M.
