The Energy Commission (EC) said it has not received any application from any party for the proposed installation of 100MW battery energy storage systems (Bess) in Sabah.
“The EC has yet to receive any application for a stand-alone 100MW Bess installation in Sabah from any party.
“As such, we could not and have not approved the same either,” the EC said in a statement today.
It was responding to a media report on Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd’s (SESB) plan to install a battery energy storage system in Sabah with a capacity of 100MW as a short-term solution to the power supply issue in the state.
Yesterday, SESB chair Wilfred Madius Tangau was quoted as saying that the matter was approved by the EC and it was an important backup measure to meet the high demand for electricity during peak hours and when the supply system experienced failure.
