Kuala sat: Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) is set to commence electricity supply connection works in Kuala Sat, Jerantut, starting this Sunday.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, TNB CareLine announced via a Facebook post that the application for the supply connection was initially received from a contractor at the end of December 2025. Subsequently, TNB submitted an application to the relevant authorities in January of the current year to facilitate the pole installation works.

TNB received the go-ahead for pole installation on May 17, and these works commenced today, aiming to start supply connection works by May 24.

The announcement follows a viral video featuring a man holding a placard by the roadside, aiming to draw the attention of the Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, to the electricity supply issue his family faced.
