Opposition MP Nazri Abu Hassan (PN-Merbok) said some coastal locations in the Peninsula were suitable for wind energy projects.
The Dewan Rakyat was told that the first wind turbine in Malaysia was developed in Bukit Cerakah, Selangor in 2014, and can produce sufficient electricity supply for over 1,000 houses.
Speaking in the budget debate in the Dewan Rakyat, Nazri Abu Hassan said there were several locations which could be developed, in line with the roadmap towards achieving zero carbon emissions by 2050. Nazri said said researchers at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia had recently developed a wind turbine capable of generating electricity efficiently at low wind speeds through a revolution in wind turbine blade technology.
A government backbencher, Azli Yusof , called for the use of nuclear energy to be considered for electricity generation in the future as the country’s climate limits the availability of solar resources throughout the year.
