LDTEC
"Power. Precision. Performance."
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
The project will generate over 1,500 job opportunities during the initial three-year construction phase, followed by permanent employment for 100 to 150 personnel
at the power plant for the next 21 years. Additionally,spinoff industries are expected to create around 3,000 additional job opportunities in the surrounding districts.
GAS INFRASTRUCTURE UTILIZATION
Natural gas will be made available to the East Coast of Sabah, with primary consumption directed to the power plant.
This will spur the development of new industries, including O&M of the power plant, chilled water production from RGT, and other related sectors.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
This project presents a significant opportunity for the State of Sabah to make a substantial economic impact on the state’s GDP. As a mega project,
it is expected to attract increased foreign and domestic investment, along with the transfer of know-how and technology.
HIGH EFFICIENCY TECHNOLOGIES
State of the art, high efficiency gas turbines are utilized in the power plant, enabling lower-cost power generation compared to older gas-fired plants
and diesel generators. This results in minimal environmental impact and improved energy efficiency.
PRIVATE FUNDING INITIATIVE (PFI)
The project is a Private Funding Initiative (PFI) incorporating Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) components. It will require no financial contribution
from the Government of Malaysia or the State of Sabah for its development. This approach is expected to contribute significantly to GDP growth.
RETIREMENT OF DIESEL-FIRED POWER PLANT
The retirement of diesel power plants on the East Coast of Sabah will result in substantial savings for the Federal Treasury,
reducing diesel fuel subsidies by an estimated RM450 million to RM600 million annually.
