ECoS strengthens efforts to increase energy generation capacity in Sabah
Abdul Nasser and delegations from ECoS and Sabah Electricity, visit one of the power stations and energy development project sites.
KOTA KINABALU (May 27): The Energy Commission of Sabah (ECoS) has conducted comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of key energy projects in Sabah, aligning with its efforts to strengthen the electricity supply system in Sabah.
Its chief executive officer, Datuk Ir. Abdul Nasser Abdul Wahid, accompanied by delegations from ECoS and Sabah Electricity, visited several existing power stations and energy development project sites located at the west coast of Sabah.
Locations visited included the SPR Energy Power Plant, Kimanis Power Plant, Sabah Oil & Gas Terminal (SOGT), Tenom Pangi Hydro Station, and two new project sites in Kimanis.
The purpose of these visits was to assess project progress, ensure compliance with safety and technical standards, and evaluate the operational efficiency of existing power plants that play a crucial role in the stability of Sabah's electricity supply.
'This close monitoring is vital to ensure all projects are on schedule and can increase generation capacity. Both of these new projects will contribute 200MW of energy to the grid upon completion,' said Nasser.
He also emphasized that these efforts are part of the Sabah State Government's commitment to address electricity supply issues and strengthen the state's energy sector holistically, in line with the goals outlined in the Sabah Energy Roadmap and Master Plan 2040 (SE-RAMP 2040).
'ECoS is committed to ensuring that every energy project in Sabah is developed and managed efficiently, safely, and sustainably. Close cooperation among government agencies, GLC companies, and industry players is key to the successful implementation of these projects,' he added.

Sabah-Sarawak power grid link to be completed by year-end
Published on: Wednesday, June 18, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jun 18, 2025 By: Larry Ralon Text Size: Abdul Nasser (left) and James KUALA LUMPUR: The much-anticipated interconnection of power grids between Sabah and Sarawak is expected to materialise by the end of this year, marking a critical first step towards realising the Borneo Grid and, ultimately, the broader Asean Power Grid. Energy Commission of Sabah (Ecos) Chief Executive Officer Datuk Abdul Nasser Abdul Wahid described the development as 'the beginning part, the starting point' of the total Borneo Grid. Advertisement Speaking at the Energy Asia 2025 parallel session titled 'Energising Malaysia's Growth' held in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, Nasser said the grid linkage between the two Borneo states holds strategic value not only for Sabah and Sarawak but also for the region's future power integration. 'The Borneo future will be the Asean Power Grid connecting to other surrounding regions. The advantage, especially for Sabah, is our geographical position. We aim to capitalise on that to play a key role in the regional energy ecosystem - within and beyond Asean,' he said. Also speaking during the same session was Sarawak Energy Group Chief Operating Officer James Ung Sing Kwong, who confirmed the planned interconnection between Sabah and Sarawak. 'As Datuk Nasser mentioned, we are targeting to connect with Sabah by the end of this year, enabling both states to share energy resources across Borneo,' said James. He added that Sarawak Energy is also looking to build upon this connection by forging stronger energy ties with neighbouring Brunei Darussalam and Indonesia's Kalimantan region - moves that would help lay the foundation for a seamless Borneo Grid. 'This Borneo Grid will then form part of the Asean Power Grid through further interconnections from Sarawak to the peninsula and Singapore,' he explained. According to James, the broader vision is to build an integrated, cross-border energy network that facilitates the exchange of renewable energy and enhances grid stability across Southeast Asia. 'This is perhaps the bigger picture of what Sarawak Energy is aspiring to in the next 10 years - a truly interconnected Asean energy future,' he said. James also recalled Sarawak's earlier success in regional interconnectivity. 'In 2016, Sarawak Energy began interconnecting our systems with Western Kalimantan. Since then, we have been sharing approximately 100 to 150 megawatts of electricity regularly.' The Sarawak–Western Kalimantan grid link marked a milestone in regional cooperation, enabling cross-border electricity trading and setting a precedent for the future Borneo and Asean power networks. The Energy Asia conference, hosted by Petronas, has brought together top leaders, policymakers, and innovators to chart pathways for sustainable growth, decarbonisation, and energy security in Asia. The Sabah–Sarawak grid link is seen as one of the tangible progress points emerging from regional collaboration. With the Sabah–Sarawak grid interconnection on track for completion by year-end, both states are poised to enter a new era of energy cooperation - one that may soon extend beyond Borneo to power the broader Asean region. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Keniogan folks hopeful of 24-hour power supply
Published on: Tuesday, June 17, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jun 17, 2025 By: Abbey Junior Text Size: Sabah Electricity personnel inspecting the upgraded generator facility at the Pulau Keniogan power station, which now supplies electricity to the island for up to 18 hours daily as part of efforts to achieve 24-hour coverage. BELURAN: Villagers on Pulau Keniogan are one step closer to enjoying 24-hour electricity, as Sabah Electricity ramps up efforts to improve power supply on the remote island. The community, made up of some 200 households, currently receives electricity for 18 hours a day — an upgrade from the previous 12-hour schedule — following the installation of a new, more efficient diesel generator. Advertisement Sabah Electricity Chief Operating Officer Ir. Ts. Mohd Yusmanizam Mohd Yusof said the move was part of the utility's commitment to ensure equitable access to electricity for all, including rural and island communities. 'We've sent a new, more efficient generator to Pulau Keniogan to ensure a more dependable power supply,' he said. 'We are working towards 24-hour electricity. Our goal is to make sure that every Sabahan gets the best service and electricity supply possible.' Pulau Keniogan, located off the coast of Sandakan and accessible only by boat, is home to a Bajau-majority fishing community that has long depended on candlelight, kerosene lamps and small private generators to get through the night. Local development officer (UPPM) Lokman Madlis said the longer electricity hours had already improved daily life for many residents. 'Alhamdulillah, it now feels like we're not so isolated anymore,' he said. 'People here have freezers, some even have air-conditioning and Astro. With longer electricity hours, we can store our catch properly and send it to the mainland for sale the next day. This really helps our income, especially for those who depend entirely on fishing.' Community representative Kamarzaman Marof echoed similar sentiments, saying full-day electricity is not just a convenience but a necessity. 'We really need 24-hour supply because ice is crucial for the fishermen,' he said. 'Without it, it's hard to keep our catch fresh. Some of us go out to sea in the morning and only return late in the day. If the ice melts or there's not enough, the fish will spoil and we lose money.' He pointed out that many elderly villagers rely on fans or cooling appliances due to the heat, adding that 24-hour power would improve their comfort and health. Sabah Electricity is currently working with the Rural and Regional Development Ministry (KKDW) to complete a solar hybrid project on the island. Once completed, it is expected to provide long-term, clean and reliable energy to the village. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Sabah is at turning point in achieving good governance: Investors finally having confidence in Sabah
Published on: Sunday, June 15, 2025 Published on: Sun, Jun 15, 2025 By: Datuk Roger Chin Text Size: Sabah is beginning to show signs of a state turning a corner. Where past governments have often lacked follow-through or institutional clarity, the current Sabah State Government is quietly but steadily laying the foundations of a more self-reliant, results-driven administration. Across sectors — energy, education, investment, and institutional reform — a more confident Sabah is emerging. Advertisement Building Institutional Muscle - Power, Regulation, and Autonomy The establishment of the Energy Commission of Sabah (ECoS) is more than a bureaucratic development — it marks a turning point in how Sabah governs its most strategic resource. With Sabah Energy Corporation (SEC) now actively managing gas distribution, and with Petronas recognising Sabah's growing autonomy over its own energy landscape, the state is strengthening both regulatory and commercial control over its resources. The approval of 1,000 MW in new power generation capacity under ECoS — including 200 MW of solar and 100 MW of battery storage in Lahad Datu — nearly doubles Sabah's current installed capacity of 1,200 MW. This proactive approach to energy security demonstrates administrative focus in preparing for growing industrial and domestic demand. Taking back 50pc equity in the producing Semarang Oil Field under SMJ Energy was once unimaginable. Today, Sabah holds a historic 50pc stake in an operating oil asset, with further back-in rights on other fields — a significant marker of progress in asserting energy sovereignty. This shift aligns with the broader spirit of Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) implementation — returning rights and agency to Sabah without fanfare, but with focus. Institutional Reform That Inspires Investor Confidence Sabah is no longer just talking about attracting investment — it is doing the hard work of institutional preparedness. The creation of the Borneo International Centre for Arbitration and Mediation (BICAM) is a notable move, signalling that Sabah is serious about dispute resolution infrastructure and legal professionalism. These are the quiet building blocks of an investor-friendly ecosystem. The state's ability to secure long-term, high-impact investments — such as E-Steel's manufacturing facility and other FDI-led industrial projects — reflects this shift. These are not fly-by-night deals but strategic entries into Sabah's industrial and logistics backbone, particularly in energy-adjacent and halal sectors. The government's target of developing 400,000 hectares of industrial tree plantations is also notable, laying the groundwork for a sustainable, regulated timber industry that can support long-term economic and ecological objectives. Fiscal Responsibility and Strategic Spending Under current leadership, Sabah has also improved its fiscal standing. State revenue has seen stable growth, with increased allocations to development budgets. A record-setting education fund through Yayasan Sabah signals not just an investment in human capital, but a turnaround in financial governance. Where once Yayasan Sabah was associated with mismanagement, today it is stabilising its accounts and focusing on outcomes: scholarships, rural education access, and TVET capacity. State reserves have grown from RM2.93 billion in 2020 to RM8.6 billion today — a clear indicator of improved financial governance and expanding revenue streams. This reflects not just fiscal prudence, but also stronger performance from some state-linked companies. For instance, Innoprise Corporation declared RM500 million in dividends over the past four years (since 2021), after previously declaring none. This speaks to stronger GLC performance and improved governance. There's also a sharper focus on aligning spending with long-term returns — whether in roads, ports, industrial parks, or digital infrastructure. Lifting the Rural Heartland Beyond Kota Kinabalu, the state has expanded rural electrification, water access, and road upgrades — critical interventions for a state where over 40pc of the population lives outside urban centres. Programmes aimed at uplifting native and rural entrepreneurs — including agro-based industry support and SME grants — reflect a more inclusive vision of economic participation. The government is also gradually tackling longstanding issues in land recognition and native customary rights, though much remains to be done. A Grounded but Forward-Looking Approach There is no claim here of a perfect government. Bureaucratic delays, inequality, and capacity constraints persist. But the approach has shifted. Instead of headline-chasing, the Sabah State Government has chosen institutional depth and economic realism — a style of leadership that may not always grab national attention but is increasingly delivering results on the ground. From Capacity to Delivery Sabah's next challenge is ensuring delivery keeps pace with ambition. Institutions are being rebuilt, but administrative culture and political stability must continue evolving. The state must also take greater ownership of climate resilience, digital transformation, and youth employment — all of which will define its trajectory over the next decade. Still, for a state so long defined by unrealised potential, the signs today are encouraging. Sabah is not just asking for more from the Federation — it is preparing to do more for itself.
