Ir. Magdalene Chu brings over 35 years of expertise in the energy sector, specialising in regulatory economics, tariff management, and customer service. A graduate in Electrical Engineering with Honours from the University of New South Wales, she is a Registered Professional Engineer (BEM) and Corporate Member of IEM. She spent 35 years with Sabah Electricity Sdn. Bhd.

In 2022, she supported Sabah’s assumption of regulatory power in electricity, onshore gas, and renewables – paving the way for ECoS, where she became Deputy CEO in 2023. She has since delivered the Sabah Energy Roadmap & Master Plan 2040, advanced energy transition initiatives including SELCO-PV and driven economic regulation through ICPT implementation and IBR RP2 tariff approvals with federal support.
