Malaysia has used hydropower to generate electricity for
decades. The main hydropower plants in Malaysia are: the Kenyir
Sultan Mahmud Power Station with 400 MW installed capacity,
the Pergau Hydroelectric Power Station with 600 MW installed
capacity, and the Temenggor Hydroelectric Power Plant with
348 MW installed capacity. Hydropower consists of 11% of the
total installed electricity capacity of 17,326 MW (August 2004) for
the Peninsular of Malaysia [42]. However, Malaysia has no tidal
barrage installation, even though hydropower is widely applied in
Malaysia.
