TUARAN: Kerajaan Negeri  terus memperkukuh usaha meningkatkan keselamatan tenaga negeri melalui pelaksanaan pelbagai projek strategik bagi memastikan bekalan elektrik yang stabil, mampan dan berdaya tahan demi menyokong pembangunan ekonomi serta kesejahteraan rakyat.

Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor berkata, kerajaan negeri sentiasa menyokong langkah yang dilaksanakan oleh Sabah Electricity dalam meningkatkan kecekapan perkhidmatan serta menambah baik infrastruktur bekalan elektrik di Sabah.

Menurutnya, usaha berterusan itu merangkumi peningkatan keupayaan penjanaan tenaga, pengukuhan rangkaian penghantaran dan pengagihan serta penambahbaikan mutu perkhidmatan kepada pengguna di seluruh negeri.

“Komitmen ini seiring dengan misi kerajaan negeri untuk menyediakan bekalan elektrik yang stabil dan mampan bagi memacu aspirasi pembangunan Sabah serta memastikan kesejahteraan rakyat terus terjamin.

“Dalam konteks ini, kerajaan negeri melalui Majlis Tenaga Sabah, Suruhanjaya Tenaga Sabah dan agensi berkaitan melaksanakan strategi menyeluruh secara berfasa merangkumi pelan jangka pendek, sederhana dan panjang,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika berucap pada Majlis Seikhlas Budi, Sesuci Ramadan bersama Ketua Menteri di perkarangan Masjid At-Taqwa, Perumahan Laya-Laya Tuaran, di sini, pada Sabtu.

Hajiji berkata, antara inisiatif utama yang sedang dilaksanakan ialah pembangunan projek penjanaan tenaga baharu yang melibatkan campuran sumber tenaga lebih pelbagai.

Katanya, ia termasuk penggunaan loji janakuasa berasaskan gas sebagai sumber tenaga peralihan di samping pengembangan tenaga boleh baharu seperti hidro, solar dan angin serta penggunaan teknologi penyimpanan tenaga moden termasuk Sistem Penyimpanan Tenaga Bateri dan hidro simpanan pam.

Dalam pada itu, beliau berkata Projek Penyambungan Grid Kuasa Sabah–Sarawak yang dilancarkan pada awal tahun ini dijangka memperkukuh lagi kestabilan sistem bekalan elektrik di negeri ini.

Menurutnya, projek berkenaan bukan sahaja menjadikan bekalan tenaga lebih stabil dan boleh dipercayai, malah membantu mengurangkan kebergantungan terhadap penjanaan berasaskan bahan api fosil secara berperingkat.

“Pada masa sama, ia turut meningkatkan margin rizab elektrik Sabah serta memperkukuh keyakinan pelabur terhadap kebolehpercayaan bekalan kuasa di negeri ini,” katanya.

Hajiji berkata pelancaran Projek Solar 15 megawatt (MW) di Tuaran baru-baru ini juga menjadi langkah penting dalam transformasi struktur tenaga Sabah.

Menurutnya, projek berkenaan bukan sahaja menambah kapasiti tenaga kepada sistem bekalan elektrik negeri, malah selari dengan pelaksanaan Pelan Hala Tuju dan Pelan Induk Tenaga Sabah 2040 (SE-RAMP2040) yang memberi penekanan kepada pembangunan tenaga boleh baharu serta kepelbagaian sumber tenaga.

“Usaha ini memberi isyarat jelas bahawa Sabah komited memperkukuh keselamatan tenaga negeri kerana tanpa bekalan tenaga yang stabil dan mencukupi, sukar bagi kita menarik pelaburan berimpak tinggi serta membangunkan industri bernilai tambah,” katanya.

Beliau turut memuji komitmen Tenaga Nasional Berhad dan Sabah Electricity dalam melaksanakan tanggungjawab sosial korporat melalui inisiatif sumbangan Wakalah Zakat kepada golongan asnaf, masjid dan institusi tahfiz di Tuaran.

Menurutnya, program berkenaan bukan sahaja memberi manfaat kepada golongan memerlukan, malah mengeratkan hubungan antara kerajaan, agensi dan masyarakat.

TUARAN: The State Government continues to strengthen efforts to enhance the State’s energy security through the implementation of various strategic projects to ensure a stable, sustainable and resilient electricity supply in support of economic development and the well-being of the people.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor said the State Government consistently supports measures undertaken by Sabah Electricity to improve service efficiency and upgrade electricity supply infrastructure in Sabah.

According to him, the continuous efforts include enhancing power generation capacity, strengthening transmission and distribution networks, as well as improving service quality for consumers throughout the State.

“This commitment is in line with the State Government’s mission to provide a stable and sustainable electricity supply to drive Sabah’s development aspirations and ensure the continued well-being of the people.

“In this context, the State Government through the Sabah Energy Council, Sabah Energy Commission and related agencies is implementing a comprehensive strategy in phases covering short-, medium- and long-term plans,” he said.

He said this at the "Seikhlas Budi, Sesuci Ramadan" with the Chief Minister programme held at the compound of Masjid At-Taqwa Laya-Laya on Saturday.

Hajiji said among the key initiatives being implemented is the development of new power generation projects involving a more diversified energy mix.

He said this includes the use of gas-based power plants as a transitional energy source, alongside the expansion of renewable energy such as hydro, solar and wind, as well as the use of modern energy storage technologies including Battery Energy Storage Systems and pumped-storage hydropower.

Meanwhile, he said the Sabah–Sarawak Power Grid Interconnection Project launched earlier this year is expected to further strengthen the stability of the electricity supply system in the State.

According to him, the project will not only make the energy supply more stable and reliable, but will also help gradually reduce dependence on fossil fuel-based generation.

“At the same time, it will also increase Sabah’s electricity reserve margin and strengthen investor confidence in the reliability of the State’s power supply,” he said.

Hajiji said the recent launch of the 15-megawatt (MW) Solar Project in Tuaran also marked an important step in the transformation of Sabah’s energy structure.

According to him, the project will not only add energy capacity to the State’s electricity supply system but is also in line with the implementation of the Sabah Energy Roadmap and Master Plan 2040 (SE-RAMP2040) which emphasises the development of renewable energy and diversification of energy sources.

“This effort sends a clear signal that Sabah is committed to strengthening the State’s energy security because without a stable and sufficient energy supply, it would be difficult for us to attract high-impact investments and develop value-added industries,” he said.

He also praised the commitment of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and Sabah Electricity in carrying out corporate social responsibility through the Wakalah Zakat contribution initiative to asnaf groups, mosques and tahfiz institutions in Tuaran.

According to him, the programme not only benefits those in need but also strengthens ties between the government, agencies and the community.
