[QUOTE="Iqlima, post: 185956, member: 174"] So, D.S. Dr.Lim talking bullshit you reckon Mr.Jarance about six month ago.There is no 40% excess exist ? THE STAR NEWS - NATION Tuesday June 6, 2006 By SIM LEOI LEOI PUTRAJAYA: Tenaga Nasional Bhd will have to give rebates to consumers who suffer losses due to power failure. Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik said these rebates, which would be reflected in electricity bills, would be paid out only if the power outage was TNB’s fault. “I have already given the directive to TNB to draw up a client’s charter, under which they will have to take responsibility for any negative effect on consumers if there is a power failure,” he told reporters after handing out excellent service awards to ministry staff here yesterday. “TNB will be held responsible to pay compensation, which will come in terms of rebates, to be reflected in electricity bills for the next month. This is so that TNB will not have a free lunch after being allowed to raise tariffs by 12%.” . Dr Lim said if the outage had however occurred because trees had fallen on power lines during a thunderstorm, it would not qualify as TNB’s failure. In a press conference to announce the increase on May 24, Dr Lim had suggested a client’s charter, and that TNB compensate consumers in the form of rebates if it failed to provide good service. Dr Lim said it was now up to TNB to decide on the details. He said although the TNB distribution system of power supply was “robust”, there were still many complaints relating to breakdowns. “This is due to the lack of funds and maintenance on TNB’s part,” he said. He also said the Government planned to review its existing commitment with TNB and the independent power producers (IPPs) to construct new power plants as the country already had excess capacity in power supply. Dr Lim said there was already excess capacity of power supply in the country, with reserves totalling some 17,000 megawatts or 40% of the total energy generated. The Government hoped to reduce this reserve to less than 20%. “We will see whether we can cancel our commitment for the construction of new power plants,” he added. “And even for those coming online to supply electricity to TNB, we will see if we can postpone their commencement of operations date.” [/QUOTE]
