"Under his leadership, SEB has evolved into one of Southeast Asia's leading renewable energy utilities through the successful implementation of the Sarawak Energy Excellence Roadmap.
“He strengthened the group's operational and financial resilience, expanded regional energy connectivity and firmly positioned Sarawak as an emerging renewable energy powerhouse.
"During his tenure, Sharbini led the acquisition of the Bakun Hydroelectric Plant, strengthened Sarawak Energy's financial position while maintaining international investmentgrade and domestic AAA credit ratings and embedded a strong health, safety, security and environment (HSSE) culture across the organisation. Under his leadership, the Bakun Hydroelectric Plant received the International Hydropower Association (IHA) Blue Planet Prize 2025 and Hydropower Sustainability Standard Silver Certification, reinforcing Sarawak Energy's international standing in sustainable hydropower,” Ibrahim said.
