In 2012, SEDA Malaysia released a request for proposals (RFP) to develop a wind map of Malaysia. The term of reference (TOR) highlights the need to develop a comprehensive wind map for Malaysia to identify the wind power generation potential and determine whether wind energy should be included in the FiT regime. The TOR mentions the scarcity of data related to specific wind power and notes the contradicting research findings regarding the wind power potential in Malaysia, though it con- cluded that there were enough locations with good wind power generating potential to support the RFP. Importantly, the TOR requires the installation of wind masts at a minimum height of 50 m to record wind data and necessitates at least 12 months of full data collection for any study it funds [60].
