During the fifty years of excellence and filled with various events, TNB's as the country

leader in electricity industry had successfully shaped the development of various

complex technologies and move all people, land, water, air and natural resources in the

form of which were hard to imagine. Mineral gas in Terengganu coast has lighted

houses in Kuala Lumpur; protected rivers in Cameron Highlands flow across the

mountain range to generate electricity for urban areas and villages in the West Coast;

the current of the upstream rivers in this country are captured by dams in Kenyir, Bersia,

Kenering and Chenderoh to bring the wonders of electricity to the villages and cities

which are still lagging behind in terms of development in a country that increasingly

advanced. Native children of this country are integrating all the world's sophisticate

technologies to drive the powerful energy generating engine in Prai, Paka, Port Dickson,

Klang, Kapar, Malacca, and Pasir Gudang.

Peace and war

War period between the years 1942 to 1945 had caused many generating electricity

turbines were neglected and suffered destruction. In 1945, the country returned to

peace and the recovery process led to an extraordinary increase in demand of

electricity supply. Electricity is an infrastructure and like other infrastructures as well,

requires careful planning. The planners eventually had developed a national electricity

development strategy which contains three major programs. First, a new and modern

power station will specially built for Central Selangor in Klang; second, the introduction

of Malaya Grid and third, conducting an in-depth research about the possibility of

developing the hydroelectric potential in this country

Formation of a Board

Notes on the history of electricity supply was actually had gone through a new era with

a larger scale that may have never thought by the planners before the war era. The

increasing demand cannot be addressed only with a modest commitment, small capital,

and lack less technical input. Large-scale plans and a larger capital from abroad must

be injected and foreign technical experts need to be negotiated to offer their expertise

service. Indeed, the time has arrived to establish a Board.

In 1948, a proposal to establish a Central Electricity Board had been submitted.

Specifically, the establishment of the Board is to implement three major projects

planned by the Electricity Department following the establishment of the department in

April 1946 that is, Connaught Bridge Electric-generate station, Cameron Highlands

Hydroelectric Projects and the development of National Grid. To meet the demand for

electricity by the factory and tin mines operation and to meet the social and economic

aspirations of the people, the rate of energy generating in the country should be

doubled in a period shorter than a decade.

A bill had been submitted to the Federal Government. The bill contained three sections.

The first part was related to the constitution, functions and powers of the Board. The

second part discussed the financial allocation and the third was related to the power of

the Board to take over private companies that supply electricity.

The Bill faced various problems before it was approved. Laws relating to land, tax

exemptions, laws relating to water, and appeals from the Central Electricity Boards

Junior Officers Union (JOU) must first be scrutinized and considered
