Kota Kinabalu: Coal or nuclear for power generation may not be an option until 2040 as both were not included in the Sabah Energy Roadmap and Master Plan 2040 (SE-RAMP 2040).
State Industrial Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Phoong Jin Zhe said there was no mention of these two sources of energy.
“The SERAMP 2040 is very practical. It did not mention coal or nuclear as sources...because they (Energy Commission of Sabah – EcoS) know Sabahans are not ready for these.
“I think their main objective is to increase the generation capacity of hydropower and, at the same time, to use some of the bio-energy, biomass and increase the capacity on solar and import the battery energy storage system to stabilise power generation.
