Kuala Lumpur: Tuaran Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau called for energy needs in Sabah to no longer be sidelined and marginalised as has happened in the past.
He said Sabah is in dire need of, for example, gas to generate electricity but Petronas as the country’s main gas supplier is willing to spend RM2 billion just to “take away” gas from Sabah to Bintulu in Sarawak to meet the interests of the Liquefied Natural Gas industry.“Wouldn’t it be easier to lay a gas pipeline from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan? But the generation of energy in Sabah through gas is completely ignored.

The reserve margin of electricity generation in Sabah is also very low at below 12 per cent compared to 40 per cent in the Peninsula.
Tangau, who is also Chairman of Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd , also questioned the construction status of the Southern Link Grid.“When will this project be implemented? Where did the allocation to build the grid come from?” “SESB, which is the only utility company fully owned by the Government, has already done a study on this power generation station and was actually more prepared to implement and own the generation in full at that time.“Sabah at that time missed the opportunity to use coal to generate electricity, while until today 40 per cent of energy generation in the Peninsula and around 20 per cent in Sarawak is from coal,” said Tangau.
