Sarawak Energy Berhad / Wan Nur Amirah Wan Hady

On 1932, Sarawak Energy started with the formation of Sarawak Electricity Supply Company Limited in Brooke Administration era to operate public electricity supply within Sarawak. Prior to that, in 1921 a Electrical Section within the Public Works Department was set up to look after the public electricity supply. In 1962, under the Sarawak Electricity Supply Corporation Ordinance 1962, the Sarawak Electricity Co. Ltd. was dissolved, and later created into a Corporation, known as Sarawak Electricity Supply Corporation (SESCO). In 1996, Sarawak Enterprise Corporation Berhad bought over 45% stake of the Corporation from the Sarawak Government. Sarawak Energy Berhad formerly known as Sarawak Electricity Supply Corporation (SESCO) was privatized on 1st July 2005. On 2012 it has been rebranded as Sarawak Energy Berhad. It is owned by Sarawak Enterprise Corporation Berhad (SECB) and responsible for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity in the State of Sarawak in Malaysia.
