KUCHING, Oct 15: The proposed integrated solar project in Baram could unlock billions of ringgit in private investment and create new economic opportunities for rural communities, but its implementation must be expedited, says Telang Usan assemblyman Dato Dennis Ngau.
Debating the Sarawak Budget 2027 at the State Legislative Assembly today, he urged the Sarawak government to clear administrative hurdles and hasten the approval for a proposed Line-In-Line-Out (LILO) distribution substation in Temala, Long Lama, to allow electricity generated by the project to be channelled into the State grid.
Ngau said the project, which forms part of the Baram Renewable Energy Economic Zone (BREEZ), was envisioned as more than a solar power plant, with plans for a modern township, workforce housing and a logistics hub with warehouse facilities.
