What is the Core of SCORE?
The core of the corridor is the energy resources, particularly hydropower (28,000 MW), coal (1.46 billion tonnes), and natural gas (40.9 trillion square cubic feet) found abundantly within the Central Region.
This will allow Sarawak to price its energy competitively and encourage investments of energy-intensive industries that will act as triggers for the development of a vibrant industrial development in the corridor.

NEWS - SCORE set to make Sarawak a powerhouse
BINTULU: Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has laid the framework for the channelling of electricity generated in Sarawak to Sabah and peninsular Malaysia, to ensure the whole country receives abundant and reasonably priced electricity for generations to come.
The Prime Minister yesterday launched the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE), the regional development corridor for the state, and witnessed the signing of billions of ringgit worth of electricity-generation projects, including an agreement to build undersea transmission lines from Sarawak to peninsular Malaysia.
Abdullah stressed the importance of having abundant and reasonably priced electricity as a pre-requisite for development in the social, economic and industrial fronts of the whole country.
“Sarawak has vast potential for electricity generation because of its massive reserves of hydro-power, coal and gas, and the capacity for future generations is huge,” he said.
