as smoothly
operate and
maintain
these plants
according to
international
standards,
while meeting
local authority
requirements.
If
the
geothermal
resource in Sabah is proven, SEDA will also embark
on training in the various aspects of geothermal
technology, to prepare engineers in Sabah to
operate the geothermal plants. SEDA is also
conducting a wind mapping study of the country. If
the study shows a potential for power generation
from wind, at least in some areas, wind will also
be included in the FiT Schedule under the RE
Act. At present, SEDA has conducted some initial
workshops on wind technology. If wind is included
under the FiT Schedule, more extensive training
courses for wind technology will be designed and
implemented.
To conclude, SEDA will continue to identify gaps
in human capacity in the RE sector, and develop
suitable training to address the shortage. All
training is developed in conjunction with Industry
and academia, both local and foreign.
