Move to increase power generation in Sabah must be backed up by grid upgrade, says consumer group

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah's move to step up power generation capacity by another 700MW must be backed up by upgrading the grid system, says National Consumer Foundation state chairman David Chan.

He said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor's recent announcement that power generation will increase by 700MW via hydro and gas generation projects was positive as it would meet power needs of the state.
