The Sabah State Government had recently provided Kampung Tanjung Batu Latu and Kampung Tanjung Batu Darat with continuous electricity through the constructions of a solar hybrid system.
The System comprises of a solar farm and battery storage facility that collects and generates energy during the day, when no solar source is available, there is a diesel generator as a part of the system.With the solar hybrid system, villagers can now say good bye to the diesel powered electricity generators that requirers regular maintenance and costly fuel supply and could only run for six to eight hours a day. This solar hybrid system has improve the villagers living conditions significantly, now they can own televisions, refridgerators and washing machines as there are consistent supply of electricity to their homes.
This is also one of the ways under the GTP's Rural Basic Infrastructure (RBI) NKRA, where the state government will help provide electricity supply to those who are living in rural areas where the grid connection for energy is not accessible due to geographical circumstances. Other efforts under the programme are such as building and upgrading the rural roads, supply of clean and treated water and housing assistance programme.
