KUALA LUMPUR (July 27): Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) said on Wednesday (July 27) that the goverment-controlled utility had at 3.02pm fully restored electricity supply in areas across Peninsular Malaysia affected by a power outage since 12.39pm, due to a damaged equipment within the main power intake substation in Yong Peng, Johor.
In several Facebook posts, TNB said areas affected by the power outage included Petaling Jaya, Cheras and Bangi in the Klang Valley, besides Bayan Lepas and Seberang Jaya in Penang, and Panchor in Johor.
The company added that Bandar Indera Mahkota in Pahang was also affected.
"We apologise for the constraints/difficulties experienced by users during the [electricity] supply disruption," TNB said.
“[Power supply in] most of the affected areas was successfully restored gradually in as early as 20 minutes [after the outage started] as a result of the TNB technical team's continuous effort," the company explained.
TNB said the power outage resulted in a 2.2GW electricty load loss, accounting for about 10% of Peninsular Malaysia's total electricity demand.
On Bursa Malaysia, TNB closed unchanged at RM8.03 on Wednesday, giving it a market value of about RM46.17 billion.
Its latest-reported number of outstanding shares stood at 5.75 billion, according to a Bursa filing on Tuesday.
