Move to launch micro-hydro power systems

PUTRAJAYA: The Natural Resources and Environment Ministry is looking into creating micro-hydro electric systems at remote villages in Sabah and Sarawak that are too far from the main electricity grid to receive power supply.

Its Minister Datuk Douglas Uggah Embas said the ministry decided to explore the use of the system as it was a good alternative source of power for villages that would otherwise have to depend on diesel-powered generators.
