A 5 kilowatt (kW) turbine would be installed to generate sufficient power to light up the longhouse.
Resident Ajit Asun, 55, is looking forward to the brighter days ahead.
“I hope this micro hydro project will solve our electricity woes. Right now we use generator set, but the cost of diesel is very expensive and so is the transport of fuel,” he said.
Work on the RM120,000 joint project is scheduled to begin after Gawai and expected to be completed in six to 10 months.
Yesterday, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed by residents of the 24-door longhouse and the Rotary Club of Kuching.
Tuai Rumah Mejang Sadan represented the longhouse, while the club was represented by secretary Ann Panai and grant chairman Rotary District 2210 Patrick Panai.
Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister’s Office Larry Sng witnessed the signing ceremony.
