KUCHING: The Bakun hydroelectric dam is expected to commercially produce 300 megawatts (MW) of electricity in July this year, said Sarawak Hidro Sdn Bhd managing director Zulkifle Osman.
He said impoundment started on Oct 13 last year and the reservoir’s water level was now at 184.6 metres.
Zulkifle said flooding was needed to reach the minimum operation level of 195m to conduct reliability run, which would take at least a month.
“We are getting good rainfall from upstream for the past weeks.
“Based on our calculation, if the rainfall continues, the reservoir’s water level may reach 195m by end-April or early May,” he told Bernama here yesterday.
The area to be flooded covers 690sq km, equal to the size of Singapore.
