Kota Kinabalu: The Energy Commission of Sabah (ECoS) has launched a RM4 million Solar Rakyat Rebate Incentive Scheme under the Sabah People’s Solar Programme to encourage domestic power consumers to adopt rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Funded through the Sabah Electricity Supply Industry Trust Account (AAIBES), the scheme offers eligible single-phase domestic households a rebate of RM1,000 per kilowatt (kW) up to 4kW, cutting installation costs by 25 to 30 per cent alongside zero-upfront financing options.
Officiated by Head of State Tun Musa Aman during the Sabah People's Sustainable Energy gathering today, the event also marked the launch of the 10-year Sabah Energy Efficiency Action Plan (SEEAP) under SE-RAMP 2040, which targets an 8.5 per cent reduction in energy consumption by 2036.
The ceremony further highlighted the recognition of the Selco PV Sabah 2.0 campaign, presentation of ECoS' Khidmat Budi Tenaga Lestari corporate social responsibility contributions, and a historic TVET human capital Memorandum of Understanding with the National Entrepreneurship Institute (Insken).
ECoS Chief Executive Officer Datuk Abdul Nasser Abdul Wahid said these combined initiatives demonstrate a collective commitment to building a sustainable state energy ecosystem through multi-stakeholder participation for the benefit of the people and economic growth.
