[QUOTE="jarance, post: 185943, member: 21"] 1. did anyone know some of the above power station mention once belong to TNB before it was sold off to IPP.. 2. Presently 40% spare capacity.. Really.. What about the power station that is more than 25 years old? Can they still generate that kind of capacity? As far as I know, the life span of a power station is about 25 years. You need to rehab it after 15 years in service to get it to run at full capacity. 3. Some of the old TNB power station are still running on oil. With the prices of oil so high, it would make sense to put them on storage and use IPP to produce the power using LNG which is in turn supply by Petronas via gas pipeline from Paka. 4. FYI, all power station need to have an annual shutdown for overhaul ( after 12 to 18 months in service) in accordance to DOSH (Dept of Safety and Health) requirement. The overhaul ranges from 45 days to 60 days. During this time who is supplying the access capacity. On paper the spare capcity look like 40% but the actual output is much less.. Honestly speaking, without the IPP, this country would face "brown out" like other developing country. BTW, Bakun is on the other side of Malaysia. It should not be in the equation unless East Malaysia is considered as one the largest consumer of pwer. [/QUOTE]
