Clean off-grid power solutions for remote villages in Sabah can lead to low-carbon economies: NGO

Land Empowerment Animals People (LEAP) said in a statement on Wednesday (Dec 1) that while most villages in the state are connected to the main grid, the connections lacked stability because of their remote locations.
