KOTA KINABALU, Aug 4 — Sabah’s power infrastructure is so vulnerable that even a squirrel could lead to a blackout, said Datuk Wilfred Madius Tangau.
The Tuaran MP said that the underdevelopled infrastructure was among the reasons Sabah experienced frequent power outages, during a talk on the subject on the “Sabah Way Forward” movement’s Facebook page last night. Tangau said the cables should ideally be coated to prevent such outages, but this would take a long time to implement and cost at least RM1 billion.
Aside from the uncoated cables, Madius said that another contributing factor was that several districts were not connected to the main power grid, causing lower power generation as well as storage capacities.
