The Malaysian National Energy Company (TNB) is conducting a feasibility study to connect the electricity grids of Sarawak and West Malaysia as part of the ASEAN Power Grid (APG). This initiative has the potential to enhance renewable energy supply in the region. However, investment in Southeast Asian regional grids remains relatively low, attributed partly to issues of grid control and costs.

He indicated that this study represents a new phase for Sarawak’s role in the energy sector, though further details were not provided.
