Sarawak Energy's history began in 1932, with the formation of "Sarawak Electricity Supply Company", by the Brooke Administration, to operate public electricity supply within Sarawak.

History

[edit]

In 1921, an Electrical Section within the Public Works Department was set up to look after the public electricity supply.[2] In 1932, "Sarawak Electricity Supply Company" was formed by the Brooke Administration to operate public electricity supply within Sarawak.[2]

The Sarawak Electricity Company was dissolved in 1962, under the Sarawak Electricity Supply Corporation Ordinance 1962, and later created into a Corporation, known as Sarawak Electricity Supply Corporation (SESCO)[2] (Malay: Perbadanan Pembekalan Letrik Sarawak, and later Perbadanan Pembekalan Elektrik Sarawak or PPLS). In 1996, Sarawak Enterprise Corporation Berhad bought over 45% stake of the Corporation from the Sarawak Government.

In 2005, SESCO was privatised and known as Syarikat SESCO Berhad,[3] and bought over by Sarawak Energy Berhad.

Sarawak began to export electricity from Sarawak to West Kalimantan, Indonesia in January 2016 through a 275kV interconnection operated by Sarawak Energy.[4] This project is the first successful power trading project for Malaysia.[5]

Generation capacity

[edit]

Sarawak Energy generates electricity mainly from two major types of plant; hydroelectric plants (HEP) and thermal plants.[6] With a total installed capacity of 5,203 MW, the major towns in Sarawak are connected via a 275/132kV State Transmission Grid.
