Sarawak's Power Push: A Key Player in ASEAN Energy Grid
Sarawak to Play Key Role in ASEAN Power Grid Integration Sarawak, a state in Malaysian Borneo, is strengthening its efforts to become a major player in the ASEAN Power Grid. Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg recently announced Sarawak's commitment to more efficient integration into the regional power network. This initiative builds on Sarawak's existing power supply to West Kalimantan, Indonesia, a connection that has been operational for six years. The Premier stated, "Sarawak has been supplying electricity to West Kalimantan for six years, and we are now in the process of supplying power to Brunei." This expansion highlights Sarawak's growing role in regional energy security and cooperation. The integration into the ASEAN Power Grid promises to improve energy efficiency and reliability across the region, potentially leading to economic growth and development in participating nations. Sarawak's proactive participation in this project positions it as a key contributor to the future of ASEAN energy infrastructure.
