There are over 420 transmission substations throughout Peninsular Malaysia that carry a capacity of 105,305 MVA. These are linked together by approximately 21,000 circuit-kilometers of overhead lines and underground cables that run at 132,275 and 500 kilovolts (kV).

The best way to maintain the origin power transmitted from the substations is to build transmission systems in a straight line. Though because of natural factors or concern over the ecosystem, we go around instead of through these areas even though it is more convenient.
Our beautiful coastal islands are also connected through thick underwater cables that can withstand mother-nature and the underwater creatures. This abundance of natural treasures attracts a lot of visitors is also why it’s important for us to supply power to the islands. To accommodate the growing demand on the islands we’ve come up with two solutions to reach our tropical paradises.
For the closer islands like Pulau Besar which only sits 4.2km off the coast of Malacca, we constructed delivery lines that sits above the water from Pantai Siring SSU to Pulau Besar SSU. Through the help of 12 towers that sit 60m above sea level, the delivery lines have been future proofed as it can accommodate an increased supply of 7.4%.
Islands like Pulau Tioman that sit more than 20km from the coastline, have power coming to them through underwater lines that lead from XXXX SSU. Snaking underwater on the seabed while avoiding coral reefs, these three tonne well-insulated underwater cables are the veins that bring the power to light up the entire island.
