Tenom Pangi hydro power plant temporary shutdown should serve as lesson in future disasters, says expert


KOTA KINABALU: The recent shutdown of the Tenom Pangi hydro power plant is proof that debris flow during natural disasters must be taken into account to avoid major losses and damage risks from future disasters, a Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) expert urged on Wednesday (Nov 2).

On Tuesday (Nov 1), the power plant at the interiors was temporarily shut down for safety reasons and for repairs due to landslides along the road leading to the station, as well as water flowing and large rocks falling onto the station intake gate.
