Sarawak Energy, Petronas sign key term sheet for long-term electricity supply

PETROLIAM Nasional Bhd’s (Petronas) subsidiary, Malaysia LNG Sdn Bhd, signed a key term sheet with Syarikat SESCO Bhd, a subsidiary of Sarawak Energy Bhd, for electricity supply to its Petronas LNG Complex in Tanjung Kidurong, Bintulu. In a statement recently, the company said under the key term sheet, SESCO is committing to provide 90MW of electricity supply at 275kV to the Petronas LNG Complex from March 2024 for a term of 20 years. This will bolster clean energy consumption and decarbonise operations of the complex, in tandem with Petronas’ aspiration of Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050. Sarawak Energy’s electricity supply is predominantly renewable following Sarawak’s transition to renewable energy resources under the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy, or SCORE, strategic initiative. Sarawak has recorded a reduction in carbon intensity for power generation by 68% from 2011 to 2019.
