Sabah's gas supply is poised to nearly double by 2030, reaching 1,350 million standard cubic feet per day, according to Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. This significant increase is set to be driven by seven offshore development projects involving international and Malaysian oil companies. These projects, which include four new gas fields, aim to meet industrial demand and support Sabah's industrialisation ambitions.
The announcement was made by Hajiji during the handover of reports from SMJ Energy and Petronas to State Secretary Datuk Zainudin Aman. The strategy outlined in the Long-Term Gas Supply and Delivery Plan 2025 and the Sabah East Coast Gas Development Plan also includes new manufacturing investments along the West Coast corridor, leading to the potential for Sabah to generate its own gas-fired power.
