TNB said the supply interruption originated from issues at the Edra power plant in Melaka.

“TNB’s technical teams are working to restore electricity supply in stages to affected users,” it said in a Facebook post.

It is understood that the power plant is operated by a subsidiary of Edra Power Holdings Sdn Bhd, an international independent power producer.
