Prestasi bekalan elektrik Sabah meningkat ketara, kata KM

Sabah's electrical supply system is experiencing significant improvements, according to Chief Minister Hajiji Noor. The state is expected to achieve a 26% share of the national grid by the end of the year, up from the lowest point of 8% in 2024 to 19% as of August, and projected to reach 26% by the end of the year. The Average System Interruption Duration Index (Saidi) has also improved from 598 minutes in 2023 to 226 minutes as of July.

The progress is attributed to various initiatives for grid system upgrades. In 2024, Hajiji emphasized that the power supply issue in the state is largely due to the increased demand from investors and businesses starting to operate. He stated that a comprehensive initiative to strengthen Sabah's energy sector is necessary, including ensuring the reliability of transmission and distribution infrastructure.
