SYNOPSIS Station Janaeletrik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz or Kapar Energy Vetures Located 56km west of Kuala Lumpur, off the coastal road between Port Klang and Kuala Selangor facing the straits of Malacca. SJSSAA is the largest power plant in Malaysia with with an impressive generating capacity from its two 300MW units and two 500MW units. It owns and operates thermal power plants in Malaysia. Its power generating units are capable of firing coal, gas, and oil. Kapar Energy Ventures plant was first conceived in the 1970s and commenced construction on 240 hectares of reclaimed mangrove swampland. It was then the first coal-fired power plant in Malaysia, and has grown into a sub-critical power plant today processing MFO and bituminous coal. It is now the top producer of electricity in Malaysia, and its ash pond is endearingly a popular haunt for thousands of migratory water birds travelling between Siberia and Australia. Planning for the power plant started in late 1970 by NEB while the construction work commenced in 1981. It was constructed on a reclaimed mangrove swampland.
