KUALA LUMPUR: The System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) for Peninsular Malaysia shows good performance with a rate below the target of 48 minutes per customer per year, the Dewan Rakyat was told today (March 21).
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, who is also the Energy Transition and Water Transformation minister, said the SAIDI in the peninsula for last year was 46.10 minutes per customer per year compared to 45.06 minutes per customer per year for 2022.
"Based on the SAIDI achievement report, it clearly shows that TNB (Tenaga Nasional Berhad) has successfully maintained its performance below the set target of 48 minutes per user per year throughout that period," he said when replying to a question from P. Prabakaran (PH-Batu).
Prabakaran had wanted to know the intervention measures taken by the federal government for areas that frequently experience power supply disruptions.
The performance of TNB which serves over nine million customers throughout Peninsular Malaysia, is constantly monitored by the Energy Commission (EC) to ensure that the electricity supply system remains in good and stable condition, Fadillah said.
