Sarawak Energy Bhd (SEB) has tendered out 3 of the 8 key work packages for the estimated RM9bil 1,285MW Baleh hydropower dam project. Group CEO Datuk Torstein Dale Sjotveit said the tenders for the project's explosive magazine and diversion tunnels packages had closed and the bidders were now being assessed.

Tender for the 3rd package – operator's village – will close in July. The remaining 5 packages are jetty, bridges and road, main civil works, main electrical mechanical works, transmission line and substation.

Sjotveit said only Sarawak firms might be allowed to bid for 5 of the packages – jetty, bridges and road, explosive magazine, operator’s village, power transmission line and substation, to maximize domestic content and in line with Sarawak government's policy to maximise local benefits.

He said, "For the three international contracts (diversion tunnels,main civil works,and main electrical mechanical works), emphasis is also given to ensure tangible participation of local companies. The tenderers are required to state the maximium amount of local content in their tender submissions and this will be considered as one of the evaluation criteria."
