The proposed project has been actively pursued after Singapore expressed its keen interest to buy hydropower energy from Sarawak.“The first step is to carry out the undersea cable project’s survey for the next 10 months,” according to Sarawak Deputy Minister for Energy and Environmental Sustainability Dr Hazland Abang Hipni.
According to a media report later, state-owned Sarawak Energy Bhd is part of a consortium with Sembcorp Industries and SP Group to conduct a feasibility study to explore the potential of power connections between Sarawak and Singapore. Hazland said with the coming on stream of Baleh dam and other future energy projects, SEB is expected to raise its installed capacity to at least 8,000MW in the next six to seven years from the current about 5,800MW.Under a heads of agreement inked between SEB and in 2008, two submarine cables would be laid to connect Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak for the export of Bakun hydropower to TNB.
The Bakun power has been supplied to energy-intensive industries like aluminium and ferroalloy smelting plants in Samalaju Industrial Park, Bintulu set up under Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy. Gan described the discussion to buy green energy from Sarawak as an important project for Singapore to help decarbonise the island’s power system and in line with the global world’s commitment to zero-carbon emissions.
