TNB said that aside from areas in the Klang Valley, power was restored within 20 to 40 minutes after the outage, which involved 2.2GW or 10% of the national grid.

It added that the source of the outage is still being determined and said that its staff are working to restore the electrical supply to areas still affected.

Areas throughout the Klang Valley had reported experiencing power outages on Wednesday (July 27), with confirmed blackouts in Bangsar, Cheras, Shah Alam and beyond.
