Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah State Legislative Assembly has approved the new Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) Enactment 2024 and Energy Commission of Sabah Enactment (Amendment No. 2) 2024 today.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said this will pave the way for the development of OTEC as a new source of renewable energy and as one of the main initiatives under the Blue Economy.

“The Enactment will enable the state through the Energy Commission of Sabah (ECoS) to regulate the activities of exploration, construction, and operation of OTEC facilities," he said in a statement.

“The OTEC technology aims to harness the temperature difference between warm surface waters and cold ocean depths to generate electricity in an environmentally friendly manner."
