Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Power Station

Malaysia

The 337th largest power station in the world

2.2 GW · Capacity

Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Power Station (Malay: Stesen Janaelektrik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz) is a power station, which fires natural gas, bunker oil and coal, located in Kapar, Klang District, Selangor, Malaysia. It was opened in March 1987 by then Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, and the station was named after him. In terms of power producing capacity, it remains the largest power station in Malaysia, despite the commissioning of several new power stations with 700MW steam turbines. It is also the first coal-fired power plant in the country. Kapar Energy Ventures Sdn Bhd is a joint venture company between Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and Malakoff Berhad, with an equity holding of 60% TNB and 40% Malakoff Berhad. Kapar Energy Ventures Sdn Bhd (KEV) owns, operates and maintains SSAAPS since 9 July 2004, after successful acquisition of the power plant from TNB. The plant was designed by Minconsult, a Malaysian engineering consultancy.
