Micro-hydro system to provide power in remote Kampung Lumpagas

KOTA KINABALU: The remote Kampung Lumpagas at the border of Sabah and Kalimantan, Indonesia, will soon get electricity from green technology thanks to the efforts of a corporate body and a non-governmental organisation.

The micro-hydro system, scheduled for completion in June, will generate up to 3kW of electricity for basic lighting and to power communal freezers essential for this subsistence community to keep their fish and meat fresh.
