: Sabah needs to develop additional energy sources to meet industry needs, which require a dependable and high supply of electricity, said Deputy Investment, Trade and Industry Minister, Liew Chin TongHe said that currently, 89 per cent of Sabah’s power generation is based on natural gas, noting that the state’s energy reserve margin is currently only at 11 per cent, way below the ideal reserve margin of 30 per cent.

“Since coal-based power plants are currently not an option to meet Sabah’s power needs, new power sources or technology, including green power, must be explored and considered to be the top choices as a long-term solution. Liew said that based on current plans outlined in the Sabah Energy Roadmap and Master Plan 2040 launched on Sept 19, RE generation in Sabah’s power grid is expected to increase to 1,000 megawatts , or 50 per cent of total generation capacity, by 2030.
