KUALA LUMPUR: The electricity supply disruption that occurred in several areas in Peninsular Malaysia since 12.39 this afternoon, was caused by the damage of an equipment at Yong Peng North main intake substation (PMU) in Yong Peng, Johor.

TNB in a statement today said the damage resulted in a load loss of 2.2 gigawatts (GW) which is 10 per cent of the total supply demand in Peninsular Malaysia.

According to TNB, the electricity supply in the affected areas was fully restored at 3:02 pm, with most of the affected areas restored in stages as early as 20 minutes after the interruption occurred, as a result of the continuous efforts of the utility company's technical team.

"We apologise for any inconvenience experienced by users during this supply disruption. For any queries regarding power disruptions, consumers can call TNB Careline at 15454," said the statement.
