KUCHING, Oct 5: Sarawak is expected to begin exporting electricity to Brunei Darussalam in 2028 as part of efforts to expand energy cooperation with neighbouring countries and generate additional revenue for the State.
According to Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, Sarawak is currently sharing its energy with West Kalimantan and Sabah, with Brunei expected to follow in 2028.
He said Sarawak is targeting an energy generation capacity of 10 gigawatts (GW), or 10,000 megawatts (MW), by 2030, increasing to 15 GW, or 15,000 MW, by 2035.
“Sarawak only requires 7 GW for current industries. However, if our industries expand, we can increase our energy consumption. By 2035, we will be generating 15 GW, or 15,000 MW, and we currently share this with our neighbours, including West Kalimantan and Sabah.
