Representatives from Malaysia and China attended the event.
The ground-breaking ceremony for the Malaysia Miri combined cycle gas power plant project was held on Nov 30 in Miri, a city in Malaysia's eastern Sarawak State. Around 400 political and business leaders, industry experts, and other representatives from Malaysia and China attended the event.
At the ceremony, Abang Haji Openg, premier of Sarawak, stated that the project would contribute to Sarawak's goal of becoming a regional energy supply hub and deliver tangible benefits to the local population.
The project involves constructing a 500-megawatt combined cycle gas power plant, a step-up substation, an administrative building, and other supporting facilities.
The project is expected to be operational by the end of 2027. Once completed, it will significantly enhance local power generation capacity, optimize energy structure, increase renewable energy utilization, and provide a stable energy supply to support the region's sustainable economic development.
