KOTA BHARU: Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) will give rebates to consumers, especially traders, affected by the power outage last Wednesday in several areas in Peninsular Malaysia.
Energy and natural resources minister Takiyuddin Hassan said about one million domestic, industrial and commercial account users were affected by the power outage that occurred at 12.39pm on that day.
“The affected account users, such as traders, can submit a claim by stating the amount of losses suffered.
“I will table the detailed information on the rebate in Parliament on Aug 4,” he told reporters after attending the 55th Kota Bharu PAS annual general meeting here today.
Takiyuddin, who is Kota Bharu MP, praised TNB for its swift action in restoring power supply fully within two hours and 21 minutes.
“On the day of the outage, we had to ration supply to certain areas that are not critical so that other vital institutions like hospitals, airports and Parliament, which was sitting at that time, did not experience any disruption,” he said.
According to TNB, the disruption that occurred in several areas in Peninsular Malaysia was caused by an equipment failure at the Yong Peng north main input substation in Yong Peng, Johor.
The damage resulted in a load loss of 2.2 gigawatts (GW), which is 10% of the total supply demand in Peninsular Malaysia. - FMT
