KOTA KINABALU, May 3 ― Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd had to conduct electricity supply rationing in several districts recently as there was no enough power generated to meet consumer demand.

The maximum demand recorded this year was 1029 MW on April 26 and although the total electricity generation capacity in the state can generally cover the demand, recently unforeseen problems experienced by a few power plants resulted in less electricity generated. According to him, on April 12, one of the independent power stations with a capacity of 100 MW suffered an unexpected damage causing SESB to ration supply.“Supply rationing of around 40-60 MW on April 27 and 28 had to be implemented due to unforeseen technical problems experienced by some power stations owned by SESB and also independent power stations which resulted in almost 64MW of generation capacity lost.

He added SESB is also discussing with the Energy Commission to help deal with the problem of lack of reserve margin, especially involving the issue of adding new generation in Sabah and the Federal Territory of Labuan.
