Kuala Lumpur: Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) plans to build a power plant with a capacity of 700MW to completely resolve the load-shedding problem in Sabah.
Tuaran MP Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau, who is also SESB Chairman, said to realise the plan, SESB needs help and support from the Federal and State governments.“SESB plans to build a Combine Cycle Gas Turbine power generator plant that is wholly owned by it with financial assistance through the Belt and Road Initiative in collaboration with China.
Madius said SESB would also implement an energy storage system through batteries with a capacity of 100MW as a short-term measure to overcome the load-shedding problem in Sabah.According to him, the matter has already been approved by the Malaysian Energy Commission . Madius said he and other elected representatives from Sabah have been highlighting in the Dewan Rakyat for a long time that Sabah is the only region in Malaysia that still suffers from load shedding.
Madius said Sabah needs to emulate the electricity supply governance system of the Federal Government and Sarawak when governance is handed over to the State Government next year. “These three components work together as a team or a seamless governance instead of working in silos trying to outdo one another,” he said.
“Tuaran hopes this reassignment will last forever and not the other way around,” said Madius, while reiterating his stance on the issue of water supply in Sabah.“There was also a specific announcement about the intervention of the Federal Government recently but, until now, the people are still waiting when the plan will become a reality.
