PETALING JAYA: Former energy, green technology and water minister Maximus Ongkili has been appointed the Sabah Energy Commission (ECoS) chairman.

Ongkili, who is Parti Bersatu Sabah president, said his appointment was an honour for the party.

“I will seek to serve ECoS and the energy industry of Sabah to the best of my ability,” said Ongkili, a four-term federal minister.

He went on to say that the state had enormous strength and potential in energy resources, especially in green renewable sources such as solar, hydro, wind and biomass.

“We will ensure that any issues related to ECoS will be executed for the good of Sabah and Sabahans.”

The commission began regulating the gas supply sector in Sabah last month after the state assembly approved two Bills pertaining to rights stipulated under the Malaysia Agreement 1963, namely the Sabah Energy Commission Enactment 2023 and the Gas Supply Bill 2023.

The Bills revolved around the transfer of gas supply regulatory power to the state government and takeover of electricity supply from the federal government. - FMT
