Abstract
There is a need to ensure efficient utilization and diversification of energy sources while minimizing its waste. The electrical energy consumption in Malaysia has increased sharply in the past few years, and modern energy-efficient technologies are desperately needed for the national energy policy. The development of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems is essential to ensure smooth operation of any energy system. This article outlines the present status of energy utilization in Malaysia and introduces the SCADA system as one of the promising energy management tools for the future.
