Ulu Jelai Hydroelectric Project

The Ulu Jelai Hydro still in contruction and it is about
30% completed. 

The main contractor of this Ulu Jelai project 
is TM Salini Consortium. While the consultant
to this project is SMEC Malaysia. 

Ulu Jelai Hydroelectric is expected to generate 
372MW in the future. 

The hydro project mostly will contribute a lot 
to cater high cost of coal price and fuel price. 

Even though the initial cost quite high to 
setup a hydro project, but the return in the
long term is very  much in profit already since
it used water only to move the turbine in order 
to generate electricity. 

Target completion date will be early 2016.

Truflo Valve Limited

In a blowdown system, there are few critical valves exist. Usually ball valve and needle valve have been used. One of the repo valve used in hydro station is Truflo Valves Limited. 



Are this OEM player still exist in the hydro power plant industry? As I noticed it is quite difficult to find whether to purchase complete set of valve or their parts.

Bataan Nuclear Power Plant - Philippines


Bataan Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power plant. It is completed 1979 but never been fueled. 



It is located 100 km west of Manila Philippines. This plant has not commission due to some issues such: 

1) It was build just near major earth quake fault line and close to Mount Pinatubo

2) Lots of defects revealed (4000 defects exist) 

The cost to build up reached $US2.3 billion. The Bataan Nuclear Power is designed to generate 621 MW of electricity. 

I have no idea what it will be today. A museum or what? No info. Later on will update if any.
