The Sabah Renewable Energy Rural Electrification Roadmap lives in this interactive website – rather than on the proverbial dusty shelf – in order to make publicly available the data, strategies and stories that can advance energy access for all, a low-carbon circular economy and climate resilience.

Video Stories include this is a one-minute introduction to the SabahRE2 process and another that showcases the perspective of our Sabah Government agency partners.  

Meanwhile the “Power to the People” video stories share the experiences of rural communities in the struggle for power across our state.  The first of these connects the hopes of communities and TONIBUNG’s mini-grid engineers in the field in Nabawan District; the second describes how PACOS Trust gathers information on community needs, interest and capacity in Pitas, the third how TONIBUNG works with communities to assess the renewable energy potential of their rivers in Ranau; while in the fourth a community filmmaker recounts indigenous ingenuity in meeting the need for light in Banggi Island off northern Sabah.  The last in the series is a community video that will describe how electrification could transform a fishing community in the mangrove delta of the Segama River.  

Press coverage includes news of Launch of UK PACT in Malaysia - Link to our Launch Press Release, and the goals of the Roadmap project and its connections with the upcoming Glasgow Climate Change COP; the welcoming of the Prime Minister’s invitation for civil society to have a role in RMK-12 and tackling climate change; the featuring of SabahRE2 at the Glasgow COP; remote renewable energy villages as models for low carbon economies; and the release of the Toolkits for renewable energy planning and implementation.

Sabah RE2: Power To The People Series - Part 6

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.
