Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah electricity grid is facing a lack of generation reserves following ongoing maintenance at the Rugading power plant here from May 25 to June 2.

Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) General Manager (System Operation) Adrian Mosigil said in a statement that while the station was unable to provide 65 megawatt (MW) to 95MW of power to the grid at present, SESB would ensure stable electricity supply for consumers in Sabah and Labuan.

“SESB is doing its best to ensure that no rationing will occur, but if it is required, several districts will undergo rationing in turns at a minimum rate aimed at stabilising the state power grid and to avoid disruption to the whole of Sabah and Labuan,” he said.

The electricity supply demand at peak periods for Sabah and Labuan averages around 970MW to 1,160MW, he added.
