Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg says the cables, which will pass through Indonesian territory, will enable Sarawak to export up to 1,000MW of electricity.

SIBU: Sarawak has been given the green light by the federal government to hold discussions with Singapore on an undersea power cable project linking the state to the island republic.

“The federal government has given us the green light to hold talks on the implementation of the project and it has been decided in principle,” he said in a statement issued by the Sarawak Public Communications Unit . He said Sarawak’s vast network of rivers and high rainfall catchment enabled it to generate electric power in a sustainable manner through hydroelectric dams.

He added the setting up of the consulate office would also boost the state’s economy, especially the tourism sector.
