PETALING JAYA: The one-year extension of Edra Power Holdings Sdn Bhd’s power purchase agreement (PPA) with Tenaga Nasional Bhd
has received the conditional approval from the Energy Commission.
In a statement, Edra said that its subsidiary, Panglima Power Sdn Bhd, received the conditional approval on July 23.
“This extension, effective from Sept 15, ensures the ongoing operation of Telok Gong Power Station 2 (TGPS2), a combined cycle gas turbine power plant with a capacity of 705MW,” the company said.
Commissioned in 2002, TGPS2 will continue to utilise its advanced F-class gas turbines in a two-on-one layout.
Prior to being powered up, the plant underwent a comprehensive series of inspections and tests, including evaluations of the gas turbines and steam turbine, testing of generators and transformers, protection relay calibration, and the commissioning of the balance of plant.
“The powering up of TGPS2 on Malaysia Day is a proud moment for us,” said president and executive director Zhong Xianjue in the statement.
