“SE has been offered the opportunity to develop a 15-megawatt alternating current (MWac) Large-Scale Solar Photovoltaic (LSSPV) project by the Energy Commission of Sabah (ECoS) in Kota Marudu. The offer, formalised through a Letter of Notification, was secured via a partnership with TNB Renewable Sdn Bhd (TRe),” said its chief executive officer, Mohd Yaakob Jaafar, in a statement on Wednesday (Jan 8).
