KUCHING : Sarawak can play a central role in progressing regional energy transition by sharing its hydropower-based resources with regional neighbours via interconnections, said Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg.
“Sarawak is in a prime central location in Southeast Asia, on Borneo’s northeast coast sharing our borders with Indonesian Kalimantan on the island of Borneo as well as Brunei and the Malaysian state of Sabah.” As a first step towards realising the Borneo power grid, the state established its first interconnection with West Kalimantan in Indonesia in 2016, he added.
Other discussions and agreements about interconnections are also progressing well, with the signing of power exchange and interconnection agreement with Sabah in 2021 involving the initial export of 30 megawatt to 50MW of electricity over a 15-year period.
