TUARAN: Sabah has launched another 15MW Large-Scale Solar project here.
State Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said that it is the second project under government-linked company Sabah Energy Corporation after a 5MW in Labuan.
He said that the move demonstrated the company’s credibility and technical and commercial capabilities in steering the renewable energy sector.
“This solar project not only adds 15 megawatts (MW) to the state’s energy system, but it also carries greater significance in the transformation of Sabah’s energy structure,” he said during the launching at BajauSama Cultural Centre here.
Hajiji said that during the construction phase, about 150 workers will be directly involved, including local workers.
"This is the best platform for our local talents to gain industry experience and master the transfer of skills in renewable energy technology.
“More importantly, when the project is fully operational, it is expected to create 50 new job opportunities covering operations, maintenance, technical and administrative support.
“This initiative will not only increase household income but also strengthen the green energy ecosystem in Sabah.
" This is the essence of development under the Sabah Maju Jaya 2.0 road map, which is not merely about numbers, but growth that generates job opportunities, enhances the people’s skills and delivers direct economic benefits to local communities,” he said.
