'Short-sighted' to cull crocodile spotted at Marina East without trying other options first, say some animal groups in SingaporeSabah Electricity Sdn Bhd chairman Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau said SESB needs to be a strong company and able to finance its own costs to ensure that the handover of electricity supply regulatory powers from the federal government to Sabah, on January 3 next year, goes smoothly.
“SESB is not able to cover its own operating costs due to several factors causing the company to bear the extra cost. It can only generate and own 20 per cent of the basic electrical load requirement in Sabah.“The balance is generated by IPPs before being sold to SESB. We need the ability to generate 70 per cent of the basic electrical load in order to resolve disruptions in Sabah,” he told reporters after officiating the Darau Main Distribution Substation groundbreaking ceremony here today.
Meanwhile, Madius said the construction of the Darau PPU, which is scheduled to be completed in January 2025, is expected to solve the problem of power outages in the Inanam area and its surroundings.He said the PPU was built last May to increase the efficiency of power distribution as well as protect the electric power system, besides meeting the electricity supply demand in the Inanam, Kolombong and surrounding areas.
