For years they have talked about supplying electricity from Bakun to west Malaysia. Just last month there was news of plans to set up a factory to produce the undersea cables needed to connect Bakun to the peninsula.
Suddenly, someone from SEB comes up and says that the 2400 MW Bakun would not be able to meet the energy needs of Sarawak when it is completed in 2010. Further, he thinks that Sarawak needs another 3 Bakuns by 2020.
How did everybody get the watts so wrong. Or did the situation in Sarawak changed so fast and so drastically.
In the same breath, this guy also talked about exporting electricity to Indonesia, Brunei, Sabah and yes, West Malaysia. Makes you wonder if it is just a lot of hot air.
