Malakoff’s Tanjung Bin Energy Plant

Achieves Commercial Operations

1,000MW Power Plant’s Construction and Commissioning Completed Within Stipulated Timeframe

Kuala Lumpur, March 21, 2016 – Malakoff Corporation Berhad’s (Malakoff) 1,000 Megawatt (MW) Tanjung Bin Energy (TBE) power plant, known as T4, has started its Commercial Operation Date (COD) on 21 March 2016, following its successful phases of construction, testing and commissioning.

“TBE is Malaysia’s first IPP project that was awarded by the Energy Commission (EC) via a competitive bidding process. During its development, we challenged ourselves to deliver an affordable electricity tariff to the off-taker, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), and ultimately to the consumers at large,” said Habib Husin, Acting CEO of Malakoff.

The plant deploys GE Steam Power System’s most modern steam turbine and generator technology, its ultra-supercritical boiler as well as its proprietary environmental control systems. This efficient technology solution ensures the generation of affordable electricity at lower environmental impact.

TBE is located on 65 hectares of land adjacent to Malakoff’s existing 2,100 MW coal-fired Tanjung Bin Power Plant (TBPP). The successful commissioning of TBE marks another significant milestone for Malakoff, increasing its multi-fuel portfolio net generating capacity in Peninsular Malaysia from 5,346MW to 6,346MW or from approximately 24% to 29% market share, respectively. This further reaffirms Malakoff’s position as the leading Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Malaysia.
