5 NEW MEGA PPV: TNB HAS MADE EARLY PREPARATIONS

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has made early preparations to ensure the electricity supply at five new mega vaccination centres (PPV) that will be set up in Klang Valley is in good condition.

"As soon as the new mega PPVs were announced, we have initiated several preparations including carrying out monitoring and inspections to ensure the supply system at the five locations is in an orderly and reliable manner.

"As for locations with TNB installations that needed upgrading to enable remote monitoring and control of electricity supply, work is currently being carried out," said TNB Chief Distribution Network Officer Wan Nazmy Wan Mahmood.

On May 30th, 2021, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Khairy Jamaluddin announced that five new mega PPVs will be set up from June 7th onwards. This includes three in Selangor namely The Mines Convention Centre in Seri Kembangan; Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Puncak Alam Campus; and Setia City Convention Centre, both in Shah Alam. In addition, another two mega PPVs will be set up at the National Stadium compound in Bukit Jalil and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).

According to Wan Nazmy, TNB received good cooperation and support from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the management of the 382 existing PPVs as well as the other five that will be set up to ensure the electricity supply to the PPVs is in order throughout the immunisation programme.

"We are thankful for MOH, Public Works Department, and other parties. Alhamdulillah, since the implementation of the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme on February 24th, supply disruption incidents at PPVs and PSVs were minimal and were recovered swiftly.

"Our priority is to recover the supply to PPVs and 40 Vaccine Storage Centres (PSV) in the event of a disruption. We are also keeping tabs on the supply status at the PPVs and PSVs so

TNB can take quick measures to prevent supply interruption from happening," added Wan

Nazmy.
