According to Planet QEOS, the project not only aims to revolutionise how renewable energy is generated, but also addresses critical food security components, while poised to create thousands of new jobs in renewable energy and food technology within the Baram region. The feasibility study will also include a dedicated 180km Green Energy Grid to be established along the decommissioned Sabah Sarawak Gas Pipeline, directly connecting renewable energy from Baram to Tanjung Kidurong, Bintulu, ensuring efficient distribution and utilisation. The project’s ambitious vision includes the installation of up to 20 GWp of solar capacity and potentially up to 40 GWhr of battery storage by 2030.
Chairman of UEM Group, Amran Hafiz Affif said, “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to present our proposal to the Sarawak Government and the Premier has agreed in principle to continue this project. We feel that this innovative project will be a game changer to benefit the Sarawak Government, the people of Sarawak and Malaysia.”
