Impact of Climate Change on the Hydropower Dam on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia Based on the Rainfall Variability Index (RVI)
There has been a substantial increase in energy generation in the country as a result of the country's rapid expansion and constant economic growth. Peninsular Malaysia currently has 33 power plants (21 thermal power plants and 12 hydropower plants), 86,468 substations, and 33,668 transmission...

There has been a substantial increase in energy generation in the country as a result of the country's rapid expansion and constant economic growth. Peninsular Malaysia currently has 33 power plants (21 thermal power plants and 12 hydropower plants), 86,468 substations, and 33,668 transmission towers. Climate change has been designated as one of the most important environmental concerns of the twenty-first century, and it has ignited a heated discussion. This study on rainfall variability in terms of flood,�dry spells and regional drought characteristics is required to gain a better understanding of the flood and dry spells affected by the energy sector in Peninsular Malaysia.
