Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Legislative Assembly passed three Bills Thursday.

The Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Enactment 2024 and Energy Commission of Sabah Enactment 2024 were tabled by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor and Datuk Abidin Madingkir.State Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Ariffin Arif tabled the third Bill, the Syariah Criminal Procedure Enactment 2024.

It is also to ensure ocean thermal energy conversion activities in Sabah waters can be started and used in parallel with the Sabah Blue Economic Plan and the Sabah Energy Roadmap and Master Plan 2040 . “There are many renewable energy sources that are unique in Sabah but have yet to be explored in depth and exploited.

Therefore, with the combination of abundant sources of electricity and vast sources of ocean water, it would enable the production of several high-value products and the main one is green hydrogen with a maximum potential of 3.5 million metric tons per year which will open opportunities for a new economy in Sabah.

This Bill would involve the State government extra financial expenditure, the amount of which cannot at present be ascertained.The Energy Commission of Sabah Enactment 2024 will serve to regulate Otec. “In addition, the orderly and controlled development of Otec in terms of governance by a trusted and integrated regulatory body will give confidence to local and foreign investors to participate in development of this ocean thermal energy technology which is spearheaded in Sabah,” he said.
