Floods: Landslide causes Sultan Mahmud Power Station in Hulu T'ganu to shut down temporarily


KUALA TERENGGANU: The Sultan Mahmud Power Station (SJSM) in Kenyir near Hulu Terengganu has been temporarily shut down since Sunday (Feb 27) after the high voltage transmission tower, which supplies electricity from SJSM to the National Grid, collapsed due to a landslide.

Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) president and chief executive officer Datuk Baharin Din said the unusually heavy and continuous rain since Friday (Feb 25) had resulted in a landslide that cut off access to SJSM at 4am on Sunday.
