Abstract: The precedent of the world oil crisis in 1970s and the recent emerging condition of high soaring prices of oil powerfully illustrated that the concerns over the energy resources which exposed the vulnerability of the energy supply and the over dependence on oil as a fuel for energy. This conditions lead to the necessity for the diversification of energy resources. The government strategies of achieving national energy objectives which among others are diversification of fuel type sources, technology, maximise use of indigenous energy resources and minimizing negative environment impact. The Renewable Energy Policy Network, REN(2007), reported that the potential wind energy generating capacity has increased by 28 percent and the solar energy surged to 52 percent. The energy efficiency and renewable energy under the Eight Malaysia Plan (2001 – 2005) and Ninth Malaysian Plan (2006 – 2010) focused on targeting for renewable energy to be significant contributor and for !
better utilization of energy resources. An emphasis to further reduce the dependency on petroleum provides for more effort to integrate alternative source of energy. Aware at the potential of the harvesting the wind energy, Malaysian Government under Joint venture partnership with the State Government of Terengganu and National Electric Board in 2007 embark on the project of integrating power supply at Pulau Perhentian (Perhentian Island). The project consists of installing two wind turbine, solar farm (Solar Panel), Generator and battery. This paper will encompass on the hybrid system implemented at the Perhentian Island, Malaysia.
