Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) is conducting load shedding following the low gas pressure recorded at two Independent Power Producers (IPPs), which impacted their operations on Monday.

In a statement, the utility company said the disruption occurred at 3.15pm, which prompted the power rationing.

“The areas involved are Kota Kinabalu, Kudat, Kunak, Tenom, Kota Marudu, Beaufort, Keningau, Bongawan, Papar, Labuan, Tuaran, Lahad Datu, Semporna, Sandakan, Tawau and Kinabatangan.

“The move is to ensure the stability of the State’s grid system.

“SESB is currently making efforts to ensure the electricity is being restored in stages,” it said in a statement.
