Datuk Nizam said that the state government is also working on a number of other renewable energy projects, including a 100 MW wind farm and a 50 MW biomass power plant.
The state government of Sabah has set a target of 220 megawatts (MW) of electricity generation from solar power by 2025. To achieve this target, the government is working with private developers to build a number of solar farms in the state.
Sabah’s Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister, Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan, announced on Wednesday (May 24) that the state’s solar power electricity generation capacity has reached 84 megawatts (MW). This represents an increase of 34 MW from the previous year, when the capacity was 50 MW.
The increase in solar power generation is due to the completion of several large-scale solar projects, including the 6 MW Beaufort solar farm, the 5 MW Kunak solar farm, the 20 MW Sandakan solar farm, the 16 MW Tawau solar farm, and the 15 MW Labuan solar farm.
Datuk Nizam said that the state government is also working on a number of other renewable energy projects, including a 100 MW wind farm and a 50 MW biomass power plant. He said that the government is committed to reducing the state’s reliance on fossil fuels and to improving the environment.
The first solar farm in Sabah was commissioned in 2018. It is located in Kudat and has a capacity of 50 MW. The second solar farm, which is located in Beaufort, is expected to be commissioned in 2023. It has a capacity of 6 MW.
The government is also planning to build solar farms in other parts of Sabah, including Kunak, Sandakan, Tawau, and Labuan. These solar farms will help to reduce the state’s reliance on fossil fuels and will also help to improve the environment.
According to the Energy Commission of Malaysia, the electricity generation from solar power in the recent week in Malaysia was 1,134 megawatts (MW). This represents a significant increase from the previous week, when solar power generation was only 980 MW. The increase in solar power generation is due to the recent sunny weather in Malaysia.
Solar power is a renewable energy source that has the potential to play a major role in Malaysia’s energy mix. The country has a lot of sunshine, which makes it ideal for solar power generation. The government of Malaysia is committed to increasing the use of renewable energy, and solar power is one of the key focus areas.
The increase in solar power generation is a positive development for Malaysia. It is helping to reduce the country’s reliance on fossil fuels and is also helping to improve the environment. Solar power is a clean and sustainable energy source, and it is a key part of Malaysia’s future energy mix.
The development of solar farms in Sabah is a positive development for the state. It will help to reduce the state’s reliance on fossil fuels, improve the environment, and create jobs. The government of Sabah is committed to developing renewable energy sources, and solar power is one of the key focus areas.
