Government Strengthens Power Infrastructure Amidst Major
Plans include increasing capacity at the Bukit Panggal Power Station by 2027, developing new solar farms to meet a 2025 target of 100 MW of solar energy, and
Energy in Brunei is related to all of the type of energy and its related infrastructure used in Brunei. Natural gas and diesel are used significantly in Brunei to generate domestic electricity, as well as gasoline and diesel to power its roads.
To address this, the government plans to bring new power plants online by 2027–2028 using Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) technology, pushing efficiency past 35%. Alongside infrastructure upgrades, Brunei's climate policy mandates a minimum efficiency of 48% for new plants and aims for 30% renewable energy, primarily solar, by 2035.
Natural gas and diesel are used significantly in Brunei to generate domestic electricity, as well as gasoline and diesel to power its roads. Domestic supplies were undoubtedly still safe, but they were still susceptible to disturbances that would result in power outages and a lack of gasoline.
There are two power systems in Brunei Darussalam, as mentioned. The DES power system covers the whole country, supervises Temburong district, and comprises four power stations and transmission lines at 275 kV, 132 kV, and 66 kV. However, the current maximum operating voltage is 66 kV.
