Power play heats up over TNB power plant contracts


PETALING JAYA: The controversy surrounding the process of awarding a gas-fired power plant, supposedly to be located in Johor, on a direct negotiated basis has picked up in pace with unions of Tenaga Nasional Bhd joining in the fray to register their concerns on the matter.

Union officials had a meeting with Energy Commission (EC) chairman Datuk Abdul Razak Abdul Majid yesterday to express their views that the practice of awarding power plants should be continued on a competitive tender process to ensure efficient price discovery.
