Singapore is to channel investments such as data centre projects into Sarawak under a proposal by the state to sell excess energy to the republic, Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg said on Tuesday.

Speaking at a Kuala Lumpur press conference, Abang Johari maintained the timeline of 2032 for the completion of a proposed undersea power cable, so that Sarawak can export renewable energy of up to 1GW (gigawatt).

“Singapore’s problem is that it has no energy and no land. Sarawak has both,” he said. “So we can work together… Singapore can help us to bring in investments that need power [into Sarawak].”
