Kota Kinabalu: Exploring and using renewable energy (RE) sources offers more advantages to Sabah in the long run.
Renewable energy helps reduce negative impacts on the environment, reduce air pollution, and supports sustainable development, said Nominated Assemblywoman Datuk Aminah Yassin.
In her debate speech at the hearing of the Renewable Energy 2024 Bill Wednesday, she said application of this technology in Sabah and throughout Malaysia could help provide cleaner energy sources and build a more sustainable future.
Currently, she said the Federal Government still provides diesel subsidies for electricity generation at a rate of RM1.50 for 1 Kilowatt Per Hour compared to Renewable Energy such as hydro energy, solar, biomass and more, only requiring a cost subsidy of 31.5 cents for 1 Kilowatt Per Hour.
