KOTA KINABALU, June 12 — A special state assembly sitting has been slated for January 3 next year to pave the way for Sabah to take over regulatory power of the state’s electricity supply, said the Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
“Subsequently, consent from His Majesty Yang di-Pertuan Agong is needed and to be followed by the Lay Order in Parliament that can be tabled after the suspension,” he said in a statement today. “We need concurrence from ministries and relevant agencies both at the federal and state level so that all these processes can be done smoothly, especially in terms of legality and to avoid interruption to the electric supply operations in Sabah,” he said.
He said this included fast-track measures to increase power at the East Coast, which will quickly restore Sabah’s electricity reserve margin to at least 30 per cent by September this year. He said the state government realise the importance of boosting usage of renewable energy to support the national neutral carbon initiative and the high potential of solar energy in Sabah, therefore the state government will increase the Large-Scale Solar power production to 100MW in 2026 on the east coast.
