KOTA KINABALU, April 3 — Qhazanah Sabah Bhd is moving towards establishing a presence in the state’s fledgling renewable energy sector through a variety of proposed sustainable power generation initiatives.
“It is well known that Sabah has much potential for sustainable energy that has yet to be utilised. Many people are aware that Sabah has a viable geothermal and wind energy generating potential besides solar, hydro and biomass power,” he said. Jeremy said the fast-flowing rivers along some of Sabah’s west coast and interior districts have been identified as being suitable for small scale hydro generation projects.
“After we have identified the site and before we go any further, we will engage with the communities to get their feedback about the proposed project,” he explained. “These are likely to be remote areas and would be more accessible with the construction of access roads leading to these plants,” Jeremy said.
“We want the communities to feel that they have say in what is being done and there are tangible benefits for them,” Jeremy added.
