Renewable Energy Generation Proposal Submission & Grid Connection Application Process

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​

​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.​

Key Consideration to Develop Large-Scale Renewable Energy Generation​

  1. Large-scale renewable energy refers to developments with a capacity of 5MW and above.​
  2. Generation output capacities of 30MVA and above are connected via extra-high voltage transmission​.
  3. Generation capacities below 30MVA are connected via distribution networks.​
  4. Proposed project sites and injection points.
