IPOH (Nov 5, 2010): Perak is ready to implement the green technology initiative with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (Mou) by three companies, including from China, to build a mini-hydro project.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, who witnessed the MoU signing, said the project, costing RM100 million, could generate electricity supply of 10megawatt with green technology application.
