KOTA KINABALU: The major blackout experienced by consumers in most parts of Sabah on the night of Feb 18 that started at 8.30pm was due to a shutdown valve problem at the Petronas Sabah Gas Terminal.
SESB corporate service division general manager Wan Maria Othman Lee said the unfortunate incident had caused an interruption of gas supply to their Independent Power Plants namely, Teluk Salut, SBPC and Rugading leading to the loss of generating capacity of 200MW.
