The Temburong District Office became the countryâs first solar-powered government building following the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on its rooftop with the capability to generate up to 100kWp of clean energy.
The move was following the Ministry of Energyâs (ME) latest series of solar projects to transform the energy sectorâs environmental credentials towards a low carbon and climate-resilient nation.
Minister of Energy Dato Seri Setia Dr Awang Haji Mat Suny bin Haji Mohd Hussein officiated the launch.
The ME stated that as renewables are considered key technologies in the national energy transition agenda, the project is in line with His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar âAli Saifuddien Saâadul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalamâs vision for advancing long-term green energy programmes for the nation as delivered in His Majestyâs New Year 2020 titah.
