KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) will spend RM8.48bil over four years to boost its electricity transmission network, as it steps up investments in new technology such as “self-healing systems” to reduce blackouts and keep up with the fast-growing demand for power in new growth areas.

The national utility company said about RM1bil of the capital expenditure has been set aside for transmission development projects in Nusajaya, Johor.
