Project Name: Improving rural communities lives through Renewables Energy: Kobulu Micro Hydro Project, Penampang Sabah

• Tonibung, a social enterprise in Sabah, Malaysia, brought light and progress to a rural village through their Kobulu micro hydro project.
• By partnering with Shell’s Access to Energy program, they upgraded the existing 10kWh hydro system to a 20kWh one, meeting the increasing energy needs of the community.
• Completed in 2019, this project not only provided electricity but also created jobs and boosted the local economy. Now, the community manages the system and charges a fair rate for electricity usage, setting a sustainable model for progress in rural areas.
