Sarawak is part of Borneo Island with bumpy and mountainous terrain. Due to this reason, electrification by conventional grid extension has always been problematic; regardless of the capacity generated by the centralized power plant. The dispersed human settlement pattern results in extremely low load densities. With total disregard for the costs associated with the grid extention, the monthly returns from the end-users do not cover the costs. Therefore, Sarawak state needs to develop a number of stand-alone small power genrations in remote areas.
