The Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy or simply known as SCORE, is one of the five regional development corridors being developed throughout the country.
SCORE is a major initiative undertaken to develop the Central Region and transform Sarawak into a developed State by the year 2020.
It aims to achieve the goals of accelerating the State's economic growth and development, as well as improving the quality of life for the people of Sarawak.
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.
The Sarawak Corridor will go beyond alleviating poverty and will lift the economy up a quantum level through waves of development in the coming decades to transform itself into an advanced industrialized State. This is the aspiration behind the development of the Sarawak Corridor.
The corridor is located within the Central Region of Sarawak, stretching for 320 km along the coast from Tanjung Manis to Similajau and extending into the surrounding areas and the hinterland.
SCORE covers an area of 70,709 sq km, with a population of 607,800 people.
The major urban centres within the corridor are Sibu, Bintulu, Mukah, Sarikei and Kapit.
