RENEWABLE INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCER

Accelerating Renewable Energy Growth​

​Sarawak Energy was appointed as the Single Buyer for electricity in Sarawak following the update of the Electricity (Amendment) Ordinance 2023.​

As the sole purchaser and distributor of power from large-scale renewable energy projects, Sarawak Energy plays a key role in integrating projects from IPPs into the existing energy system. This integration is essential to advancing large-scale renewable generation, supporting Sarawak's commitment to accelerate the development and adoption of renewable energy for a sustainable future.​

This page provides prospective renewable energy developers with key information on developing independent large-scale renewable energy projects and connecting them to Sarawak’s electricity network.​

Large-Scale Renewable Energy Generation​ (IPP)

​With a target of achieving 10GW by 2030, Sarawak Energy is committed to maintaining a generation mix predominantly driven by renewable energy by diversifying its renewable sources, including expanding on solar power capacity. ​

Sarawak Energy recognises the vital role of private sector partnerships in accelerating the deployment of renewable energy projects throughout Sarawak.

Large-scale solar generation is classified into two types: ground-mounted and floating solar systems. Generation output capacities of 30MVA and above are connected via extra-high voltage transmission networks, while generation capacities below 30MVA are connected via distribution networks.

In addition to solar generation, Sarawak Energy also welcomes the submission of proposals from other renewable sources.
