KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd must generate the state’s base load demand before it can seriously move towards renewable energy, says Datuk Seri Madius Tangau .
“We must first solve the power disruption problem first. To do this, SESB must own at least 70% of the base load power generation and must generate its own electricity because we need to have control,” he added. “For example, when a certain IPP suddenly wants to do scheduled maintenance, and when an IPP does not supply the amount of electricity as agreed, there is not much we can do. In that instance, load shedding is unavoidable,” said Tangau.
"We are not given the opportunity to operate even when SESB was the one who conducted studies for projects such as the Ulu Padas Dam, Liwagu Dam and a coal power plant in Lahad Datu,” he said.
