BEIJING, May 21, 2015 - State-owned power provider Sarawak
Energy Berhad (SEB) chief executive officer Datuk Torstein Dale Sjotviet has
hit out at critics from developed nations over its efforts to build dams
to generate power when their own development was done without much
consideration to sustainability.
"SEB is
guided by the International Hydropower Association's Hydropower Sustainability
Assessment Protocol in the development of its hydropower projects," he stressed
at a plenary session "Development versus Sustainability: How can we find
the right balance?" at the 2015 World Hydropower Congress here today.
