ELECTRICITY FIRST made its appearance in this country at the turn of the 20th century, and the earliest record of power generation can betraced back to a small mining town in Rawang, Selangor. Here, two enterprising individuals Loke Yew and Thamboosamy Pillai installed anelectric generator in 1894 to operate their mines. They were the first to use electric pumps for mining, and so marked the great beginning of thestory of electricity in Malaysia. In the same year, private supply for street lighting purposes was extended to Rawang town, and in 1895 therailway stations in Kuala Lumpur received their first electricity supply. In 1900, the Sempam Hydroelectric Power Station in Raub, built by theRaub Australian Gold Mining Company, became the first power station in Malaysia.

Hydroelectric Power Plants Hydroelectric power generation is the utilisation of energy from flowing water as it descends from a height. Thepotential energy is converted to electrical energy. A hydroelectric power station requires the means to produce the necessary force of water tospin a turbine linked to an electric generator, usually through a conduit such as a pipeline or tunnel to a turbine-generator which is spun by thepassing water. Tenaga Nasional's Hydroelectric Power Stations are classified as Storage, Run-of-River or Pondage stations.

Supply Of Electricity TNB customers are connected with power from hydroelectric and thermal plants through a network system made up oftransmission lines, substations and distribution lines. It is via this that TNB supplies electricity to customers while ensuring a balance betweendemand and supply.

Thermal Power Plants

TNB's Thermal Power Plants produce power by using conventional steam turbines and steam generators fired by coal, oil or natural gas(steam power plant), gas-fired or diesel-fired open cycle gas turbine generators, and gas-fired or diesel-fired combined cycle turbinegenerators.

Distribution The Distribution Division is entrusted to conduct two value chain business activities on behalf of TNB, which are the DistributionNetwork Operations & Electricity Retail Operations.

Electricity Retail Business TNB operates a network of state and area offices to purchase electricity from embedded generators. It then marketsand sells electricity, connects new supply, provides counter services to collect revenue, operates call management centres, provides supplyrestoration services, and cultivates strong customer and government relationships.

The Distribution Division has 13 offices at state level, 38 area offices, 56 branches, 8 small branches, 4 Call Management Centres (CMC) and140 Pusat Khidmat Pelanggan throughout Peninsular Malaysia.

Central Electricity Board (CEB) Until the mid-1920s, most powergenerating plants were small and used a variety of fuel including low

grade coal, local wood, charcoal, oil and water power. As demandincreased, large scale planning, huge sums of capital from overseasand hiring of foreign technical experts became necessary.

The Central Electricity Board (CEB) was then established and came intooperation on 1st September 1949. The Board was to become heir tothree major projects considered by the Electricity Department followingits re-establishment in April 1946:

* The Connaught Bridge Power Station,

* The Cameron Highlands Hydroelectric Project, and

* The development of a National Grid

CEB became owner of 34 power stations with a generation capacity of39.88 MW, including a steam power station in Bangsar with a capacityof 26.5 MW, a hydroelectric power station at Ulu Langat with a capacityof 2.28 MW as well as various diesel stations with a total capacity of11.1 MW.

CEB also became owner of both transmission and distribution systemsabove and below ground.

The age of private generators has come to an end today, and everyonehas the opportunity to enjoy a fair share of electricity.

Save power

Electricity has got to be one of the greatest discoveries of all time. Sodon't abuse its usage. Here are some tips to help you reduce theamount of electricity you use:

1. Switch off your electrical appliances (lights, fans, air conditioners, etc)when you aren't using them. It really does make a big difference!

2. Change electrical appliances that are old and out of date. Appliancesthese days are much more efficient, so it's beneficial to get newmachines.

3. Carpool! The next time you're going somewhere, see if you can findfriends going to the same place, and take a ride with them. Analternative would be to use public transport.

4. Stop charging your devices when they're fully charged. Letting sometypes of batteries charge for a prolonged period of time actually shortenstheir life spans.

5. Pull the card out and turn off everything when you're not in the hotel.You may not be paying for it, but Mother Nature is.

6. Use your washing machines and dish washers only with a full load.You don't really need to switch these electricity-gobblers on just for apair of socks or a spoon.

7. Lastly, open your curtains and let natural light fill your home instead ofusing lights!

Safety do's and don'ts

Use high quality electrical appliances certified by SIRIM.

* Make sure that all sources of power are turned off when you leavehome for a long period of time.

* Do not touch live wire.

* If an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) trips when you try toswitch it back on, there may be a possibile equipment or installationdamage at your home. Appoint a registered contractor to have a look.

* Do not use obsolete or broken electrical appliances.

* Do not use electrical appliances that have been exposed to water.

* Do not expose wiring to heat, vapour or pressure.

* Do not fix extra wiring yourself. Instead, hire a qualified contractor todo so.
