Malaysia National Telecommunications Base Station Wind Power

Where can wind energy be used in Malaysia?

Wind resource mapped by the Energy Commission and SEDA Malaysia has identified key locations – such as Mersing (Johor) and Kudat (Sabah) where speeds range from 3.5 to 6 m/s at 50-meter hub heights 3. These areas present viable opportunities for targeted wind energy in the region.

Is Malaysia's wind speed too low for large-scale wind energy deployment?

Historically, Malaysia wind speeds—ranging from 2 to 4 meters per second (m/s)—have been considered too low for large-scale wind energy deployment. However, technological advancements in low-wind-speed turbines have dramatically shifted the outlook for wind energy in the region.

How can Malaysia make wind energy an attractive investment sector?

Malaysia’s pro-business policies and renewable energy incentives are instrumental in making wind energy an attractive investment sector. Among the most impactful initiatives is the Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA) – Tier 3, which provides:
