SYNOPSIS

Sg. Pering Mini Hydropower Plant is located at Sungai Perting, Bentong in the state of Pahang, Malaysia. It is one of the award-winning projects by Amcorp Perting Hydro Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amcorp Properties Berhad. The award-winning mini hydro project is located in the Bukit Tinggi forest reserve, at the Chamang Waterfall recreational area. The project utilizes the head differential and the river flow of Sungai Perting to generate clean electrical energy. The hydropower plant delivers 4 MW of power to TNB via the interconnection point at SSU Kg. Baru under the Renewable Energy Programme. The electricity generated by the mini hydropower plant will displace part of the electricity generated by the grid dominated conventional fossil fuel-fired power plants, hence avoiding further environmental pollution caused by the burning of such fuels. In terms of economic sustainability, by using water, a free, sustainable and indigenous resources to generate renewable energy, Amcorp Perting Hydro Sdn Bhd’s mini hydro project helps curb the nation’s dependency on the ever depleting imported fossil fuels which prices have risen sharply over the years.
