in Klang was the largest power station in Malaya,
first commissioned in January 1953
and formally opened by the High Commissioner,General Sir Gerald Templer on 26 March 1953.
It had a total generating capacity of 80MW of power
from 4 X 20MW Steam Turbine(Parsons)
The old plant was fully utilised until it was decommissioned in 1984
ending a colorful era of the CEB Connaught Bridge as the locals fondly call it.
