TUARAN – Sabah Energy Corporation (SEC) has officially launched its second solar project, a 15MW Large Scale Solar farm in Tuaran, marking another significant step in the state’s ongoing effort to reduce its dependence on conventional energy sources and build a more sustainable power system for Sabah.
The launch was officiated by the Chief Minister of Sabah, YAB Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji bin Haji Noor, and was attended by SEC Chairman Datuk Annuar Ayub, SEC Deputy Chairman Datuk Pg Hassan A Pg Amir, Labuan Member of Parliament YB Datuk Indera Dr. Haji Suhaili bin Abdul Rahman, members of the SEC Board of Directors, and SEC Chief Executive Officer Datuk Ir. Ts. Adzmir Abd Rahman. The ceremony was held in the presence of approximately 450 guests.
The 15MW solar facility is aligned with both the SE-RAMP 2040 roadmap and the Sabah Maju Jaya 2.0 vision, two frameworks that chart the state’s broader ambitions for economic growth and energy transformation. Through projects like this, SEC continues to push forward Sabah’s transition toward renewable energy sources, including solar, hydro, and wind, while at the same time creating employment opportunities and contributing to the economic development of local communities.
The evening did not end with the launch ceremony. Guests joined in a Ramadan iftar, and the occasion was used to extend contributions to several community organisations in the area, among them HOME Tuaran, Rumah Anak Yatim and Maahad Tahfiz At-Taqwa in Kampung Laya-Laya, Masjid At-Taubah in Kampung Lok Batik, Masjid At-Taqwa and Masjid Nur Sa’adah in Kampung Laya-Laya, and Masjid Assajidin in Kampung Tambalang.
The spirit of the day had in fact begun long before the official proceedings. Since early morning, members of the Kelab Sukan dan Rekreasi SEC, working together with ADABI, had been preparing bubur lambuk to be distributed to local government bodies, schools, and nearby mosques as a gesture of goodwill during the holy month of Ramadan.
It was, all in all, a day that reflected what SEC hopes to stand for, a State GLC that looks after not just the economy, but also the communities it serves.
KOTA KINABALU – Sabah Energy Corporation (SEC) was among the participants at this year’s Majlis Penyerahan Kuih-Muih Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada Pasukan Keselamatan dan Petugas Kesihatan, an annual event organised by the Sabah State Government as a token of appreciation for security forces and healthcare workers across the state.
The event, held in the spirit of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, has become a cherished tradition that brings together government agencies and state-linked corporations to acknowledge the contributions of frontliners who remain on duty throughout the festive season, often away from their own families.
SEC’s Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Ir. Ts. Adzmir Abd Rahman, was present at the ceremony and handed over the symbolic contribution of kuih-muih to the Chief Minister of Sabah, YAB Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji bin Haji Noor, on behalf of the corporation.
For SEC, taking part in this initiative is a genuine expression of gratitude towards those who serve with quiet resolve, day in and day out, to keep the community safe and healthy. Security personnel and healthcare workers carry responsibilities that do not pause for holidays, and their commitment deserves to be recognised.
SEC takes this opportunity to wish all security forces and healthcare frontliners a restful and joyful Hari Raya, and extends its appreciation for the sacrifices they make in the line of duty.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, maaf zahir dan batin
Kuala Lumpur, 9 February 2026 – Sabah Energy Corporation Sdn. Bhd (SEC) is proud to announce the exchange of Heads of Agreement (HoA) with PETRONAS for the Mutiara Cluster, a strategic offshore gas resource located off the coast of Sandakan.
Representing SEC was Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Ir. Ts. Adzmir Abd Rahman, while PETRONAS was represented by and Ziaril Faiz Zakaria, Senior General Manager, Integrated Hydrocarbon Management, PETRONAS. The exchange was witnessed by YAB Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji bin Haji Noor, Chief Minister of Sabah; YBhg Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz, President and Group CEO of PETRONAS; YB Datuk Seri Panglima Safar Untong, Sabah State Secretary; YBhg Datuk Annuar Ayub, Chairman of SEC; and YBhg Datuk Bacho Pilong, Senior Vice President, Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM).
The HoA establishes the commercial and collaborative framework towards a future Gas Sales Agreement, supporting the development and monetisation of gas resources from the Mutiara Cluster to meet Sabah’s long-term energy needs. With first gas targeted for early 2029, the Mutiara Cluster is expected to play a critical role in reshaping Sabah’s energy supply landscape. SEC’s natural gas currently fuels 86% of the state’s power needs, but that supply has been concentrated on the West Coast. The East Coast has relied on small-scale LNG deliveries.
The development of the Mutiara Cluster is intended to address this imbalance by enabling scalable and reliable gas supply to the East Coast at industrial scale, supporting energy security, economic activity, and downstream industrial development in Sandakan and surrounding areas. Beyond infrastructure, the HoA reflects a shared commitment by SEC and PETRONAS to strengthen collaboration in unlocking Sabah’s indigenous gas resources responsibly, while supporting a more balanced and resilient energy market across the State.
The Mutiara Cluster development is also aligned with the State’s’s SMJ 2.0 development agenda and is expected to contribute to sustained investment, job creation, and long-term economic growth.
