## English

* **Sabah Energy Commission (ECoS)** will officially launch two major initiatives — the **Sabah Energy Efficiency Action Plan (SEEAP)** and the **Solar Rakyat Sabah** programme — at the end of July 2026
* **Solar Rakyat Sabah** enables domestic consumers to install rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for self-consumption, targeting up to **4,000 eligible homeowners** across Sabah
* The programme operates on a **self-consumption model** — households install solar panels to power their homes, with any surplus electricity fed back to the grid
* Participants enter a **12-year contract** with Sabah Electricity (SE), which converts to a SELCO-ownership model upon expiry
* Options include **battery energy storage systems (BESS)** for households wanting to store excess solar generation
* **SEEAP** aims to develop a State Policy Framework on Energy Efficiency and Conservation, supported by practical and actionable implementation plans for Sabah
* ECoS has published official **Solar Photovoltaic Installation Guidelines** under the Solar Rakyat Sabah programme to standardise rooftop solar deployment
* The initiatives align with Sabah's target of **50% renewable energy capacity by 2035** and support Malaysia's broader clean energy transition under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR)

* **沙巴能源委员会（ECoS）**将于2026年7月底正式启动两项重大举措——**沙巴能源效率行动计划（SEEAP）**和**Solar Rakyat Sabah**计划
* **Solar Rakyat Sabah**计划允许沙巴家庭用户安装屋顶太阳能光伏系统用于自发自用，目标覆盖多达**4,000户符合条件的家庭**
* 该计划采用**自发自用模式**——家庭安装太阳能板为住宅供电，多余电力可回馈电网
* 参与者与沙巴电力公司（SE）签订**12年合约**，到期后转为SELCO自有模式
* 为希望储存多余太阳能发电的家庭提供**电池储能系统（BESS）**选项
* **SEEAP**旨在制定沙巴能源效率与节约州级政策框架，并配套切实可行的实施方案
* ECoS已发布Solar Rakyat Sabah计划的官方**太阳能光伏安装指南**，以标准化屋顶太阳能部署
* 上述举措与沙巴**2035年可再生能源装机容量达50%**的目标一致，并支持马来西亚在国家能源转型路线图（NETR）下的清洁能源转型
