ABSTRACT

The Malaysian power sector consists of three separate systems, each covering a constituent part of the country. Electricity supply in Peninsular Malaysia is the responsibility of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (Tenaga), while in the two eastern Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, the provision of power is the responsibility of the Sabah Electricity Board and the Sarawak Electricity Corporation, respectively. Prior to the implementation of a government reform programme, power in Malaysia was provided by these three integrated utilities, each a monopoly in its respective area of jurisdiction.
