KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s average electricity interruption duration has more than halved over the past decade, and Sabah Electricity is now aiming to reduce it even further — to under 100 minutes annually by 2030.

This goal is part of Sabah Electricity’s strategic plan to enhance power reliability through the expansion of Distribution Automation systems, which have been progressively installed statewide since 2018.
