Renewable energy in Brunei

BRUNEI , 2015/02/14
Plans to revive a stalled renewable energy transaction between Brunei Darussalam and neighbouring Sarawak that would see hydropower exported from the Malaysian national to the Sultanate have thrown a focus on its efforts to increase renewable energy sources.
Bruneian officials confirmed at the end of January that they would any minute at this time be receiving the business plan and details of a proposition to jointly develop hydroelectric dams in northern Sarawak, with a 40km power transmission line to Brunei Darussalam. This forms part of a wider plan to reduce the Sultanate’s reliance on fossil fuels by increasing its solar capacities and creating feed-in tariff mechanisms.
