KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s solar energy development continues to gain momentum, with the Energy Commission of Sabah (ECoS) playing a key role in strengthening Sabah’s energy security and advancing the state’s clean energy transition. These are made possible through the regulated development of renewable energy projects, particularly large-scale solar initiatives, said ECoS in a statement. Among these initiatives, the Teck Guan Solar Project stands out as one of the fastest progressing large-scale solar projects in Sabah, reflecting strong project execution and effective coordination between the developer, ECoS, and relevant stakeholders. It is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026, which will contribute significantly to Sabah’s renewable energy capacity upon completion. ECoS chief executive officer (CEO), Datuk Abdul Nasser Abdul Wahid said the development of renewable energy infrastructure such as large-scale solar projects is expected to generate positive economic growth among other things in Sabah.
