TENOM: The Tenom Pangi hydroelectric power plant is in operation, starting May 14, two years after being damaged by floods and a landslide.

Deputy Chief Minister cum State Works Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya said the 66MW facility is a key power source for the state.

"The gradual restart of all three turbines at the Tenom Pangi Hydroelectric Power Station, from October 2024 to April this year, shows the strong dedication of the staff," he said.
