KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 — The Lao PDR-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project (LTMS-PIP) Phase 2, Part 1 (Malaysia-Singapore, 100MW) has supplied 30.6GWh of electricity and generated revenue of RM23.06 million as of April.
The Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry (PETRA) said that under Phase 2, Part 2 of the LTMS, 0.58GWh of electricity was wheeled through Malaysia's grid system for energy deliveries in January and February.
“No electricity was wheeled in March and April 2026. During the period, total wheeling revenue amounted to RM137,236,” the ministry said on the Parliament website today.
The ministry was responding to Syerleena Abdul Rashid’s (Harapan-Bukit Bendera) question about updates on the LTMS-PIP, which is operating at its full capacity of 200MW, including its electricity transmission performance.
She also asked about the findings of feasibility studies for the second Malaysia-Singapore interconnection and the Sumatra-Peninsular Malaysia interconnection, including implementation timelines and implications for energy security.
PETRA said the feasibility study for the second Malaysia-Singapore interconnection project has begun and is being undertaken by Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB), with completion expected in 2027.
The project is targeted to commence commercial operations by 2029 with a capacity of at least 1,000MW.
“TNB and Indonesia’s PT PLN (Persero), in collaboration with the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), are conducting a feasibility study for the development of a proposed electricity link between Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia.
“The study follows a memorandum of understanding signed on August 25, 2023, and is expected to be completed by 2027,” said the ministry.
