GLC pays RM 68.2m for scrapped power plant
Local energy company Lahad Datu Energy Sdn Bhd paid RM68.2 million (US$22.5 million) as compensation to a China-based contractor for a coal-fired power plant project in Sabah that was scrapped.
In a written reply to Eric Enchin Majimbun (SAPP-Sepanggar) in Parliament today, Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Peter Chin said the compensation was the final payment based on the contract.
In 2008, national energy supplier Tenaga Nasional Bhd's' New Associate, Lahad Datu Energy, inked a RM1.01 billion deal with China National Electric Equipment corporation to build a 300MW Coal-fired power plant in Silam, Lahad Datu, to supply energy to the Sabah east coast.
The plan was abandoned twice before, after protests from locals and the state government.
The first proposal was for it to be built in Silam, Lahad Datu in 2007 and two years later, in Seguntor, Sandakan.
However, the state government had announced in February that it would be cancelling the proposal after much public outcry.
The current proposed plant will be built on Felda Sahabat land, which comes under federal jurisdiction, and will run on coal imported from Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Explaining the government's earlier decision to tap the more expensive but more environmentally-friendly liquefied natural gas (LXG) to generate power in Sabah, Chin said that the power plant may be operational by 2015.
“Apart from that, other renewable energy projects with potential will be developed to meet the demand for energy in the east coast of Sabah.
"Indirectly, the increase in the generator capacity will alleviate the insufficient power supply problem in the state, which is now dependant on diesel power plants that are already old and unreliable," Chin said.
Kerajaan silap tandatangani kontrak
Utusan Borneo Khamis, 16 Jun, 2011-06-16
KOTA KINABALU: Ahli Parlimen Sepanggar, Datuk Eric Majimbun berkata kerajaan melakukan kesilapan menandatangani kontrak pembinaan proiek Janakuasa Arang Batu 300MW di Sinakut Lahad Datu tanpa membuat siasatan dan kajian kesannya terhadap alam sekitar.
Menurutnya, pembatalan proiek itu menyebabkan kerugian sebanyak RM70 juta apabila pampasan ganti rugi terpaksa dibayar kepada pihak kontraktor sebanyak USD22.5 juta sebagai pembayaran muktamad kontrak yang telah ditandatangani.
"Kerugian ini boleh membangunkan banyak infrstfuktur di sabah dan membantu rakyat miskin" katanya dalam kenyataan yang dikirimkan menerusi khidmatpesananringkas dari Kuala Lumpur kelmarin.
Beliau memberitahu perkara itu bagi mengulas jawapan bertulis Menteri Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air, Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui terhadap soalannya di Parlimen.
Menurutnya, menteri berkenaan telah mengesahkan jumlah pampasan yang dibayar berkenaan ekoran pembatalan Projek berkenaan.
Sambil itu, Eric juga memberitahu bahawa elaun tambahan kepada RM800 untuk ketua kampung, pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kemajuan dan Keselamatan Kampung (JKKK) dan Jawatankuasa Kemajuan Dalam Bandar (JKDB) seperti yang dijanjikan Perdana Menteri dalam bajet 2011 juga belum dilaksanakan di negeri ini.
