TNB’s Early Preparation for Stable Electricity Supply at Vaccine Storage Centres

20/02/2021

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has made early preparation to ensure electricity supply at vaccine storage centres and COVID-19 vaccination centres nationwide remains stable throughout the implementation of the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme, said its Chief Distribution Network Officer Datuk Ir. Baharin Din.

Malaysia will receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine starting this February 21st, followed by the first phase of the immunisation programme on February 26th. A stable electricity supply is needed as the vaccine has to be stored at -70 degree Celsius.

“Discussions with the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) were and are continued being held to identify KKM’s needs, especially those involving efforts to avoid supply disruptions at vaccine storage,” said Baharin.

He said, TNB will ensure the main and alternative electricity supply system operate properly at all storage and vaccination centres.
