RM1 Billion Allocated To Raise Electricty Supply In Sabah
09/02/2015 (Bernama) - The Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry has allocated almost RM1 billion to implement new projects to boost the existing power generation and supply system in Sabah.
Its deputy minister, Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid said this clearly showed the government's concern and commitment in providing facilities to overcome the issue of electricity supply in the state, especially in the East Coast area.
He said the facilities included funds in the form of grants and easy loans to Sabah Electricty Sdn Bhd (SESB) to carry out electricity infrastructural projects in Sabah and Labuan.
"The projects under the 10th Malaysia Plan involve projects to boost the generation, transmission and distribution of energy," he told reporters after visiting the Seguntor Main Intake Substation project, here, today.
He said the RM35.5 million project was being implemented in a Palm Oil Industrial Cluster (POIC) area in Sandakan which began in October 2013 and was expected to be completed in June this year.
