KUCHING, Aug 24 — Sarawak Energy strongly refutes claims that the logjam and debris situation seen at Baleh River is caused by site clearing works from the Baleh Hydroelectric Project .
“The origin of the logjam and debris is upstream of the project site and is clearly not from the site clearing works. This is because biomass clearing activities upstream of the dam to prepare for impoundment is only expected to start in 2023 which is in two years’ time. “From the initial assessment, it has been concluded that the source of the debris is more than 1.5km upstream of the diversion tunnels inlet portal. It is understood that timber logging continues to be active at upstream tributaries of Baleh River.
Sarawak Energy reiterates its commitment to the responsible delivery and environmental performance of all projects to comply with Sarawak and Malaysia laws as well as international standards and guidelines.
