The first phase of Tuanku Jaafar Power Station began in 1969, when it was a conventional thermal power plant (firing fuel-oil) 4 x 60MW units. This was followed in 1978 with 3 x 120MW units. A 25MW Gas Turbine was added for blackstart and peaking purposes.
In 2000, the conventional power plant was dismantled in stages to allow for rehabilitation project, which was fully completed in 2009. Tuanku Jaafar Power Station has now become the power plant of choice (top in the merit order) with high efficiency, full automation (Automatic Governor Control-AGC), in compliance to the international standards and environment.
