3 TNB hydroelectric dams prepared for monsoon season

KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has been making early preparations to face the monsoon season in three states – Terengganu, Pahang and Perak – by reducing the water levels in its three hydroelectric dams to increase the storage capacity.

In a statement, TNB Power Generation Sdn Bhd (TNB Genco) managing director Datuk Nor Azman Mufti said, right now, the three TNB dams that are in Tasik Kenyir, Cameron Highlands, and Sungai Perak are ready to hold the expected higher volume of water from upstream.

“The release of water from the dams was done gradually and in a controlled manner in accordance with standard operating procedures (SOP) and with the cooperation of local authorities and related agencies,” he said.
