MINI HYDRO






There will be a mini hydro power project in Jalong Tinggi by the Perak State government. I have carried out a search on this matter. 

The project developer is Perak Hydro Renewable Energy Corporation Sdn Bhd. (PHREC) [908000-H]. This company was incorporated on 14 July, 2010 to developed small hydroelectric projects in Perak state. The Executive Chairman is YB  Dato' Wan Mohammad Khair-il Anuar Wan Ahamd, the Kuala Kangsar MP. The other board members are Dato' Aminudin Bin Hashim (Perak MB Inc. CEO) and Beroz Nikmal Bin Mirdin - Managing Director.

25 sites have been identified and approved for development under the Small Renewable Energy Program. All sites will be under the preview of the Renewable Energy Act 2011 by Sustainable Energy Development Agency (SEDA) where each site will be granted the license to generate power. The power purchase agreement will be signed with TNB with a tenure of 21 years.

This program will allow renewable energy project developers to enjoy the benefits of higher tariff rate via the Feed in Tariff (FiT) mechanism. The approved FiT rate for small hydro is 24c/kwh for projects 10MW and below 23c/kwh for projects above 10MW.

Approximately 130 - 150 MW of renewable energy will be produced from all 25 sites in the span of 5 - 7 years. Once commissioned, PHREC will operate and maintain these mini hydro's.
