The Sabah Renewable Energy Rural Electrification Roadmap navigates towards a future of energy equity, right livelihoods, and wellbeing for Sabahans.
In this episode of Power to the People, follow our Consortium partner, PACOS Trust who has been conducting focus group discussions with the men, women, and youth of remote areas throughout Sabah.
In the third episode of Power to the People, we take you to the interior regions of Ranau to meet back up with the TONIBUNG team as they continue to conduct feasibility studies across Sabah.
In the fourth episode of Power to the People, join us as we make our way to the northern coast of Sabah to visit the largest island in Malaysia, Pulau Banggi. Here, electricity is scarce and expensive, with residents relying on indigenous ingenuity to address their energy issues.
In the fifth episode of Power to the People, travel along the easternmost regions of Sabah to Kampung Dagat, a remote village located within the Lower Kinabatangan-Segama Wetlands, Malaysia's largest Ramsar site and a vast mangrove of global importance. The people of Dagat sustain themselves largely on artisanal fisheries, a practice that has been passed down through generations.
In the sixth episode of Power to the People, we travel through dirt roads, with our Government Partners and UK PACT representative Khairun Nisa Zabidi, to Kampung Buayan. Residing in the Ulu Papar region, the Buayan community is far from the state grid and has been powered by micro-hydro systems for more than a decade now. Buayan exemplifies how rural communities in Sabah’s interior regions can empower themselves and self-sustain through the use of community-managed renewable energy mini-grids, building a model that may one day be replicated throughout the state.
The Energy Check Podcast: An auditory platform rooted in Sabah, Malaysian state of North Borneo, that shares genuine, generative discussions on clean energy and the convergence of equity within its ecosystem. Hear the insights and stories of industry experts, civil society, local communities, and passionate youths touching on energy access, power in electrification, and intersections across renewable energy.
The Sabah Renewable Energy Rural Electrification Roadmap (SabahRE2) navigates towards a future of energy equity, right livelihoods, and wellbeing for rural Sabahans. As home to 72% of un-electrified rural Malaysians, Sabah has an opening to pivot towards renewables as a viable solution for energy access for communities distant from the state grid who can pioneer a low carbon future with quality of life.
