Sabah Energy Sdn. Bhd. (SESB), is facing its own set of challenges. The state-owned power utility is reportedly incurring a loss of around 10 sen per unit of electricity supplied due to a tariff mismatch. Consumers in Sabah pay 34 sen per unit, while the actual generation cost stands at a staggering 43 sen per unit, as revealed by SESB's chairman. This paints a picture of a technically insolvent company, raising questions about its ability to attract major investors like JP Morgan to invest in Sabah Energy's sector. Math is the language of universe and chart is the window to the future. JSB trading below 0.81 indicates bear is still in driver seat and above 0.81 bull is trying to regain control.
Metaverse, who wrote that? SESB own by TNB (i think 75-85 %) and smaller shareholder is Sabah State Govt. At the moment electricity in Sabah subsidised by State and SESB. True, they have to purchased at higher rate from some producers. That why they are looking at cheaper and green energy. They started this initiative long time ago, but only JSB managed to delivery it.
“SESB should own a minimum 700 megawatt to address base load ensuring stable supply. It should be a gas combined cycle but more ideally coal. The latter idea is opposed by the people. “Right now reserve margins is less than 12 per cent and we should hit 30 per cent by the end of the year which would more or less mean stability. “Currently we have interim solutions for the short term like renting generator sets. But Sabah will be the first in Malaysia to have the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capable of storing 100 megawatts to be installed at POIC Lahad Datu,” he said.
This is the best business to be in. I would say, zero risk. Sabah already hunger for electricity. If you been to Sabah, you would know they are not enough power. JSB has long term contract (21 years or more) with fixed rate and formula to pay their operation, financing cost(sukuk, depreciation etc) and make lucrative profit ( pls study Mega First Corporation Berhad). Investor, invest on JSB not SESB. States government want to take SESB from TNB in the future. So writer completely wrong on second part of write up. If not viable, sukuk issuer which has more rigid conditions won't release the funds.
And currently those assets already churning steady income for past few months. Their account will be consolidate with JSB once the acquisition is complete, which I expect by 1st quarter 2024.
The macroeconomic landscape in Sabah is currently characterized by considerable uncertainty. Notably, 70% of the electricity supply in Sabah is generated by Independent Power Producers (IPP) at a cost of 43 sen, while Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) is retailing it at 34 sen. The dependency on the Federal Government to sustain the electricity supply in Sabah, incurring an annual cost of RM800 million, places the region in a precarious energy situation. Unless a viable long-term solution is identified, Sabah faces the prospect of an enduring energy crisis.
Exploring alternatives, aligning with the model adopted by Singapore to procure wholesale power from Sarawak appears to be a pragmatic option for Sabah. This is particularly compelling given the favorable pricing for consumers in Sarawak, ranging from 18 sen to 31 sen. From an investment standpoint in Sabah's energy sector, Ranhill emerges as a prudent choice. With control over 30% of the power market in Sabah, Ranhill is positioned as a reliable player in navigating the challenges and opportunities within the energy landscape.

Jentayu is well on its way to achieve its target for sustainable financial performance with the injection of the run-of-river hydropower plant Telekosang Hydro into Jentayu poised to be completed by Q2 2024. Telekosang Hydro was fully commissioned in December 2023.
JSB is on track to execute the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for our RM 2.8 billion, 170 MW run-of-river hydropower plant Project Oriole by mid 2024.
Acquisition of Telekosang Hydro Assets finally approved. This would be the start of the turnaround of JSB. We will see the company now generating profits. Onwards and Upwards!
Another piece of good news for JSB. JSB has received the Initial Letter of Notification from the Energy Commission of Sabah for the construction of a 170MW run of river hydro power plant in Sipitang, Sabah. This is an important milestone for JSB.
