discussions concerning the development of the Bakun Dam in the East Malaysian state of Sarawak. If built‚ the dam would be the largest in South-East Asia. The Bakun Dam: A Case Study indicates that generating 2400 megawatts of power‚ it would provide electricity for all of Sarawak‚ and for industries and cities in mainland Malaysia‚ through a cable under the South China Sea. At 650 kilometres‚ this would be by far the longest cable in the world. The Bakun Dam has been a highly controversial issue spanning

resource. Huge generators convert the potential energy of falling or fast moving water into electrical energy. The potential energy of the water is first converted into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy. Water‚ usually stored in dams‚ is led down through large pipes or tunnels to lower levels‚ and in the course of the fall‚ the water rotates turbines. The mechanical energy produced is converted to electricity by the generators connected to it. The structure that houses the turbines

to generate electricity from falling water. The capacity to produce this energy is dependent on both the available flow and the height from which it falls. Hydroelectric dams create height for the water to fall and provide storage. In general‚ the higher the dam‚ the more potential energy is available. Building up behind a high dam‚ water accumulates potential energy. The potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy where it can perform work to power a generator. Hydroelectric power can come
