KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 7 – Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) will ensure water is released in a controlled manner at several of its hydroelectric dams during the monsoon period. TNB senior general manager of Corporate Affairs and Communication Datuk Mohd Aminuddin Mohd Amin said in a statement on Sunday that the controlled release of water will be carried out in accordance with standard operating procedures.
“With the capacity to hold water upstream, the dam can prevent a bigger disaster from occurring in downstream areas during the rainy season. Meanwhile, my department had also held a series of briefings on preparedness and training in cases of emergency at hydroelectric stations and its operations office in anticipation of floods occurring in the areas. TNB’s hydroelectric dams located in Kenyir, Cameron Highlands, and Sungai Perak served as flood mitigation centres and were currently operating in good and safe condition,” he said.
