KOTA KINABALU: Energy Commission of Sabah (ECoS) has launched a 15MW large-scale solar plant near the Teck Guan Group in Kolombong to strengthen the state’s energy security and advance its clean energy transition.

The plant, with an installed capacity of 22.5MWp, can generate about 26 gigawatt-hours annually, enough to power over 7,000 homes.

ECoS said such projects create jobs, build technical expertise, and support sustainable industrial growth, while diversifying Sabah’s energy mix and reducing dependence on conventional power.
