The 1996 Malaysia blackout was a widespread power outage in Peninsular Malaysia that began at 17:17 on 3 August 1996. The states of Peninsular Malaysia – including Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Putrajaya, Johor, Melaka, and Negeri Sembilan – lost power for several hours.
A transmission line near Sultan Ismail Power Station in Paka, Terengganu tripped at 5:17pm causing all power stations in Peninsular Malaysia to collapse resulting in a massive power failure. Supply was back to normal by 11pm.
The weekend power outage was the third in the past four years, and the worst since a 1992 blackout left Malaysia without electricity for up to two days. In the wake of that capacity-related stumble, the government moved to allow five independent power producers to enter the electricity-generation business. After this blackout, utility giant Tenaga Nasional's stock fell considerably.
