Bandar Seri Begawan – Brunei can be entirely independent from oil for its electricity supply under an ambitious plan to use environment-friendly solar technology to power up 100 per cent of the sultanate by 2015.

Nations Solar Technologies plans to build, own and operate a solar cluster project in the sultanate with the assistance of Hamidjojo Development and its consortium, which have been appointed to do a feasibility study on the project in six months.

The project, which will start on January 1, 2008, aims to put forward a proposal and obtain necessary approvals, licenses and support from the government to reach 100 per cent solar energy capability for Brunei by 2015.

Dr Albrecht Mozer and Dr Peter Fath, both managing directors of Solmic GbmH, a German consultancy firm pecializing in Poly Silicon production facilities for the photovoltaic industry said the project may generate up to 1,800 permanent jobs.
