Sarawak Energy and Research Consortium Collaborate to Study and Enhance Resilience And Sustainability Of Sarawak Alternative Rural Electrification Scheme (SARES) System
The government-community initiative has lighted up more than 13,000 households in about 450 villages in Sarawak’s hinterland with 24/7 renewable energy since it was launched in 2016. The findings from this research will help the country to identify system gaps that it can improve on and build on its strengths so that it can enable rural communities to take further ownership in operating and maintaining the SARES. Researchers presented four main topics: techno-economic assessment of electrification options; hazard modeling for electricity networks, integration of economics, reliability and resilience to multi-hazard events in power system planning; community narratives and socio-technical aspects. The discussion included recommendations for developing alternative electrification solutions for sustainable electrification.
