TNB said the cause of the power outage was a fault at one of their stations in Yong Peng North in Johor.

According to The Star, it’s believed that a fire at the station caused the damage and blackouts. In the viral video, blue sparks and flames could be seen at the station.

The fire caused a major power outage involving 2.2GW or 10% of its entire supply needed in Peninsular Malaysia earlier today.

UPDATE @ 3.13pm@Tenaga_Nasional confirms that this incident – at the Yong Peng North substation – was the cause of the massive power outage experienced earlier in various parts of the country.

TNB adds that power was fully restored at 3.02pm. https://t.co/3Jukur84Fr
