Endlessly rising power demands coupled with the growing urge to tackle the effects of climate change has compelled governments worldwide to explore and utilize every possible clean energy option within their geographical vicinities. Malaysia aims to expand the share of renewables in its installed power generation capacity to 20 by the year 2025.

This paper addresses the abundantly available hydrokinetic resource around Malaysia, which many researchers have suggested as a potential choice for fulfilling a reasonable proportion of Malaysia's power demand. Since the inception of Malaysian interest in hydrokinetic energy, several studies have been published that focus on identifying the ideal locations across the country for deploying hydrokinetic turbines (HKTs). Through this paper, the authors develop a coherency between those studies and establish a complete picture of the existing literature background on hydrokinetic resource in Malaysia. Such a review is yet to be published and will be a crucial benchmark, especially for future researchers who aim to investigate the still unexplored locations.
