Tanjung Bin power plant on track for 2016 start

PONTIAN: Construction work on Malakoff Corporation Bhd's new 1,000MW coal-fired power plant in Tanjung Bin, Johor, is on track, said Tanjung Bin Energy Sdn Bhd assistant project director Mohd Syahrul Izwan Ismail. 

"I'm not sure where the references (reports) came from, but as far as we are concerned, March 1 next year is still the target date for us to complete the project," he told reporters on a one-day media familiarisation trip to Malakoff's Tanjung Bin Power Plant (TBPP) and T4 in Pontian.
