The major power outage that occurred last Wednesday caused most houses to blackout and interrupted several services including mobile connectivity as well as rail services. The disruption, which affected numerous places in Peninsular Malaysia, was caused by an equipment failure at the Yong Peng north main input substation in Yong Peng, Johor, according to TNB.
Although the power outage, which happened at 12.39 pm on that day had been resolved within two hours and 21 minutes, it had affected around one million home, industrial, and commercial account users, according to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources (KeTSA) Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan.
Following the news, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) would provide rebates to consumers, particularly businesses, who were affected by the power outage. Takiyuddin stated that “The affected account users, such as traders, can submit a claim by stating the amount of losses suffered.”
However, he added that he would table the issue regarding the rebate and bring it up in parliament on August 4.
