Universal Peak Sdn Bhd, in collaboration with its Principal, CTC Global Corporation, successfully organised the “The Future
Sabah: Seminar on High Temperature Low Sag (HTLS) Advanced ACCC® Conductor” on 25 June 2025 in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
The seminar brought together key stakeholders from Sabah Electricity and the Energy Commission of Sabah (ECoS), serving as
a technical platform to share knowledge and promote the adoption of advanced transmission solutions for Sabah’s power grid
development.
A key highlight of the event was the keynote address delivered by Ir. Ts. Racheal Lim, Chief Transmission Officer of Sabah
Electricity, who provided valuable perspectives on grid modernisation strategies, including the role of HTLS conductor
technologies in enhancing system capacity and reliability.
The technical sessions, led by CTC Global’s experts, covered a comprehensive range of topics related to ACCC® conductor
technology, including:
• Technical fundamentals and performance advantages of ACCC® conductors
• Applications in reconductoring and new transmission line projects
• Compliance with ASTM B987-20 standards
• The InfoCore® System for core integrity verification and enhanced grid security
• Addressing key grid challenges such as right-of-way (ROW) constraints, environmental considerations, integration of variable renewable energy (VRE), and increasing load demand
In addition, industry partners contributed to the seminar through specialised presentations. RIBE Malaysia showcased
installation hardware solutions compatible with the ACCC InfoCore® System, while Tenaga Cable Industries (TCI) presented
insights into the local manufacturing process of ACCC conductors, including aluminium rod production, wire drawing,
annealing, and stranding processes.
The seminar received strong participation and engagement from SESB engineers and industry professionals, with active
discussions reflecting a growing interest in advanced conductor technologies to support grid expansion and modernisation
efforts.
This collaboration highlights Universal Peak’s role as a local technical partner in supporting CTC Global’s initiatives in
Malaysia, while reinforcing our shared commitment to delivering innovative, reliable, and future-ready solutions for the
power transmission sector.
