Long Lamai Micro Hydro Project

We have just started a new micro hydro project in Penan community of Long Lamai, Baram, Sarawak. this project is initiated by UNIMAS ISITI-CoERI as part of project to bridge the digital gap. Project is supported by JAPAN ODA. Our team have just concluded the final detailed survey and design. Project target to be completed by Christmas 2012, but this all depends on the logistics and gotong royong

Babalitan MHP progress

Just came back from our field trip to Kg. Babalitan to monitor the progress of the Micro hydro project. The construction of the community based micro hydro system is well on the way. we have sent the last batch of HDPE pipes for the penstock and started to the materials for the distribution cable. We hope that if everything goes well, all the civil works can be completed by May. Stay tuned for progress of this project

Site Visit to Orang Asli Village of Kg. Ulu Semul & Sagong, Pos Betau, Raub, Pahang

We conducted a site visit with Yayasan Daya Diri to Kg Ulu Semul and Sagong to explore the posibility of implementing a community based micro hydro system for the two Orang Asli Village. The proposed Micro Hydro system will have an output of 20Kw and should be able to provide 24hrs electricity to this two Semai Orang Asli community.

Imbak Canyon Conservation Area Micro Hydro feasibility study

We just concluded a full feasibility study for micro hydro power system at Imbak Canyon Conservation Area. we also explored other renewable energy options for ICCA. Hopefully the Micro hydro will be developed by Yayasan Sabah. It was a very challenging task especially with the weather condition, but dispite all that we completed the study in time.
