KUALA LUMPUR : Sarawak Energy aims to install at least 400 megawatts of floating solar power capacity at its dams by 2030 as the Malaysian utility expands to meet rising demand for renewables from neighbouring countries, its chief executive said.
Sarawak Energy started construction at its first 50 MW floating solar unit at its Batang Ai dam this month which is expected to be completed by end-2024, CEO Sharbini Suhail told Reuters on Tuesday on the sidelines of an Energy Asia conference. Sarawak Energy is also in discussions with Brunei as well as Singapore, where it has completed a feasibility study to export hydropower via undersea cables around 2030, but the high cost and technical difficulties remain a challenge.
Such a connection would help kickstart an ASEAN power grid, Sharbini said, an idea that has been long-discussed but has remained on the drawing board.
