The Bakun Dam is an under construction embankment dam located in Sarawak, Malaysia on the Balui River, a tributary or source of the Rajang River and some sixty kilometers west of Belaga. As part of the project, the second tallest concrete-faced rockfill dam in the world would be built. It is planned to generate 2,400 megawatts (MW) of electricity once completed. The purpose for the dam was to meet growing demand for electricity.

dbpedia-owl:abstract
  • Das Wasserkraftprojekt Bakun (Bakun Hydroelectric Project) ist eine Talsperre am Balui River, einem Nebenfluss des Rajang auf der Insel Borneo in Sarawak, Malaysia. Das Projekt wurde 1994 vom damaligen Premierminister Mahathir Mohammad in Gang gesetzt. Der Hauptteil des Projektes ist ein großer, 207 m hoher Staudamm, ein Felsschüttdamm, der allerdings im internationalen Vergleich in keiner Beziehung der größte sein wird. Die geplante Stromerzeugungs-Kapazität ist 2400 Megawatt. Die Baukosten sollen 2,4 bis 4 Milliarden US-Dollar betragen. Ursprünglich war die Fertigstellung für 2003 geplant. Dieses Datum wurde inzwischen auf 2011 verschoben.
  • The Bakun Dam is an under construction embankment dam located in Sarawak, Malaysia on the Balui River, a tributary or source of the Rajang River and some sixty kilometers west of Belaga. As part of the project, the second tallest concrete-faced rockfill dam in the world would be built. It is planned to generate 2,400 megawatts (MW) of electricity once completed. The purpose for the dam was to meet growing demand for electricity. However, most of this demand said to lie in Peninsular Malaysia and not East Malaysia, where the dam is located. Even in Peninsular Malaysia, however, there is an over-supply of electricity, with Tenaga Nasional Berhad being locked into unfavourable purchasing agreements with Independent Power Producers. The original idea was to have 30% of the generated capacity consumed in East Malaysia and the rest sent to Peninsular Malaysia. This plan envisioned 730 km of overhead HVDC transmission lines in East Malaysia, 670 km of undersea HVDC cable and 300 km of HVDC transmission line in Peninsular Malaysia. Future plans for the dam include connecting it to an envisioned Trans-Borneo Power Grid Interconnection, which would be a grid to supply power to Sarawak, Sabah, Brunei, and Kalimantan. There have been mentions of this grid made within ASEAN meetings but no actions have been taken by any party. The project is expected to be completed by 2011.
  • Bakun-demningen er en demning med vannkraftverk i Sarawak i Malaysia, dvs på den vestlige delen av Borneo. Kraftverket ligger ca 60 km vest for byen Belaga, i ei mindre sideelv til elva Rajang, og ble påbegynt i 1995. Det er ventet at sluttføringen av anleggsarbeidet med igangsetting av kraftproduksjon kan skje i 2015, men det har vært tre utsettelser av prosjektet og dato for ferdigstilling er ikke sikker. Installert effekt blir etter eksisterende planer totalt 2.400 MW. Selve demningen skal bli ca 205 m høy og 750 meter lang, og reservoaret vil demme opp ca 695 km² jungel og elvedal. Prosjektet er økologisk omstridt.
