Sarawak aims to become regional power supplier

Quick Summary:

KUCHING: Sarawak targets to significantly raise power generation capacity to 15 gigawats (GW) in 10 years to expand the state's electricity exports to more Asean member countries.

Based on studies in the 1980s, Sarawak has the potential to produce up to 20,000MW of hydroelectric power if more dams are built.

In November 2024, SEB, Abu Dhabi Future Energy Bhd (PSJC) and global clean energy firm Gentari inked a trilateral joint study agreement to explore the feasibility of undertaking a floating solar project on Murum dam.
