Start Capability. This will be achieved by identifying a number of strategically

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 91 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Connection Code

located Power Stations, where such Black Start Capability is required. The Grid
Owner and the GSO shall do the identification in consultation with the User. In
this respect, Black Start Capability relates to any one Generating Unit in a
Power Station having the capability to start without any other back feed supply
whatsoever being available from the Grid System and/or Distribution Network

 Connection Code

CC.[Link] Each Generating Module or Energy Storage Unit of Type B must be fitted with
a speed governor or equivalent to control Active Power Output over the entire
operating range, in co-ordination with other control devices.

CC.[Link] The speed governor or equivalent control device must meet the following
minimum requirements:

(a) where a Generating Module or an Energy Storage Unit becomes isolated

from the rest of the Grid System but is still supplying Customers, the
speed governor or equivalent control must also be able to control System
Frequency between 47.5 Hz to 52Hz unless this causes the Generating
Module to operate below its Minimum Operating Level when it is possible
that it may, as detailed in SDC3.5.2, trip after a time;

(b) the speed governor or equivalent control for the Generating Modules or
an Energy Storage Unit of type B must be capable of being set so that it
operates with an overall speed droop between 2% and 5%. Lower droop
setting capability may be specified for Hydro Units by the Grid Owner and
the GSO. In the case of Power Park Modules of type B, the relevant
parameter equivalent to a speed droop shall be equal to a fixed setting
(at a value set by the GSO) between 2% and 5% applied to each Power
Park Unit in service; and/or

(c) in the case of all Generating Modules or Energy Storage Unit of type B

agreed with the GSO. However, the maximum combined effect of the
frequency response insensibility and the frequency dead band cannot
exceed 0.05Hz (for the avoidance of doubt, ±0.025Hz). In the case of the
Steam Unit within a CCGT Module, the speed governor dead band should
be set to an appropriate value consistent with the requirements of
CC6.4.4.5(1) and the requirements of SDC3.2.4 for the provision of High
Frequency Response.

CC.[Link] A facility to modify the Target Frequency setting either continuously or in a

maximum of 0.05 Hz steps over at least the range 50 ± 0.1 Hz should be

terminal voltage control of the Generating Unit without instability over the entire
operating range of the Generating Unit. There is a requirement on the
Generator to allow the Grid Owner and the GSO to witness commissioning
tests. The automatic excitation control system shall remain in service at all
times and shall not be removed or disabled from service without the GSO’s
prior consent.

CC.[Link] Other control facilities, including constant Reactive Power output control modes
and constant power factor control modes (but excluding VAR limiters) are not
required. However, if present in the excitation system or other appropriate
control device they will be disabled unless otherwise agreed by written
permission from the GSO. Operation of such control facilities will be in
accordance with the provisions contained in SDC2. For the avoidance of doubt
the Generating Module or Energy Storage Unit shall not be operated at any
time under constant Reactive Power or constant power factor or any other
specific control mode whatsoever without specific consent from the GSO.

CC.[Link] The excitation system shall also be equipped with a Power System Stabilizer
(PSS) which must be capable of damping of power system oscillations over the
frequency range of 0.1 to 5.0 Hz. The PSS shall be optimally tuned to damp out

active or reactive power of the inverters.

Power Park Modules must be equipped with POD control; designed and tuned
to provide effective fast control to damp out small signal/low frequency
oscillation of the identified mode(s) of oscillation, without destabilizing other
modes of oscillations or unintentionally introducing new forms of stability
concerns.

oscillations, for proper design and tuning of the POD control.

CC.[Link] Before the commissioning of each Generating Unit and Power Park Module,
they shall prove conclusively to the Grid Owner and the GSO that the PSS and
POD have been optimally tuned to damp out the local and inter area oscillation
modes, both analytically and by on site verification tests, including an actual
line switching test. The Generator shall submit the PSS tuning study report to
the Grid Owner and the GSO at least three (3) months before commissioning
the Generating Unit.

power output upon receiving instruction from the GSO to preserve security of
the Grid System. This feature can be used as a special protection measure to
provide system wide protection. The target active power output upon fast load
or deload shall be defined prior of activation of this feature.

CC.[Link] Each Generating Module or Energy Storage Unit of type B must be equipped
with facilities to allow remote operations as defined in the technical documents,

the GSO Control Centre shall be shared by all Generating Units operating at
the Power Station

CC.[Link] Each Power Station shall be designed to enable each Generating Module to be
capable of Load Following over the whole range between the Minimum

Generating Module or Energy Storage Unit.

CCA.3.2.2 The Minimum Generation level depends on the different technologies of the
Generating Modules, the technical constraints are not the same for hydro,
CCGT, Open-Cycle GT, thermal or Power Park Modules. The Generators and
Energy Storage Operators must provide their Minimum Generation levels to the
Single Buyer, the Grid Owner and the GSO. However, the Minimum Generation

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 139 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Connection Code

must be not more than 50%. Each Generating Module or Energy Storage Unit
must be capable of operating satisfactorily down to the Minimum Generating
Level as dictated by System operating conditions, although it will not be
Dispatched to below its Minimum Generation level. If a Generating Module or
Energy Storage Unit is operating below Minimum Generation because of high
System Frequency, it should recover adequately to its Minimum Generation
level as the System Frequency returns to Target Frequency so that it can
provide Primary and Secondary Response from Minimum Generation. For the
avoidance of doubt, under normal operating conditions, steady state operation
below Minimum Generation is not expected.

CCA.3.2.3 In the event of a Generating Module load rejecting down to no less than its
Minimum Generation it should not trip as a result of automatic action as detailed
in SDC3.5. If the load rejection is a level less than the Minimum Generation,
then it is accepted that the condition might be so severe as to cause it to be
disconnected from the System.

CCA.3.2.4 In case of high frequency, the Energy Storage Unit, which are operating as
generators synchronized to the Grid System, must be able to reduce its
generation to 0 MW, at the request of the GSO Control Centre. In addition, the
GSO Control Centre is allowed to request that the Energy Storage Units
available start their charging cycle.

CCA.3.3 Minimum Frequency Response Requirement Profile

CCA.3.3.1 Low Frequency response

The percentage response capabilities and loading levels are defined on the
basis of the Registered Capacity of the Generating Module of types B.
(a) For low frequency deviations of 0.5Hz or lesser, each Generating Module
of this type should response no less than 2% of 0.1Hz change or to the
Registered Capacity. For example, if the Frequency deviation is 0.5 Hz,
the corresponding minimum frequency response requirement is 10% of
the Registered Capacity.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 140 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Connection Code

(b) The Frequency response delivered for Frequency deviation of more than
0.5Hz should be not less than the response delivered for a Frequency
deviation of 0.5Hz.

CCA.3.3.2 High Frequency Response

The percentage response capabilities and loading levels are defined on the
basis of the Registered Capacity of the Generating Module of types B as
follows:
(a) For high Frequency deviation of 0.5Hz and lesser, each Generating
Module of this type should response no less than 2% of 0.1Hz change or
to the minimum generation. For example, if the Frequency deviation is
0.5Hz the corresponding minimum Frequency response requirement is
10% of the Registered Capacity.

(b) The frequency response delivered for Frequency deviations of more than
0.5Hz should be no less than the response delivered for a Frequency
deviation of 0.5Hz.

CCA.3.4 Testing of Frequency Response Capability

CCA.3.4.1 The response capabilities, explained in CCA.3.3.1 and CCA.3.3.2, are

measured by taking the responses as obtained from some of the dynamic
response tests specified by the Grid Owner in consultation with the GSO and
carried out by Generators for compliance purposes and to validate the content
of relevant Agreement using an injection of a frequency change to the plant
control system (i.e., governor and load controller). The injected signal is a linear
ramp from zero to 0.5 Hz frequency change over a ten (10) second period, and
is sustained at 0.5 Hz frequency change, thereafter, as illustrated
diagrammatically in figures CCA.3.1 and CCA.3.2.

CCA.3.4.2 The Primary Response capability (P) of a Generating Module or a Energy

Storage Unit of type B is the minimum increase of Active Power output between
ten (10) and thirty (30) seconds after the start of the ramp injection as illustrated
diagrammatically in Figure CCA.3.1.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 141 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Connection Code

CCA.3.4.3 The Secondary Response capability (S) of a Generating Module or Energy

Storage Unit of type B is a minimum increase of Active Power output between
thirty (30) seconds and thirty (30) minutes after the start of the ramp injection
as illustrated diagrammatically in Figure CCA.3.1.

CCA.3.4.4 The High Frequency Response capability (H) of a Generating Module is the
decrease in Active Power output provided ten (10) seconds after the start of the
ramp injection and sustained thereafter as illustrated diagrammatically in Figure
CCA.3.2.

CCA.3.4.5 The High Frequency Response capability (H) of a Power Park Module or an
Energy Storage Unit is the decrease in Active Power output immediately after
the start of the ramp of the frequency increase and sustained thereafter. In
addition to this, the GSO Control Centre may request to the Energy Storage
Units to start a charging cycle, depending on their State of Charge.

CCA.3.5 Repeatability of Response

CCA.3.5.1 When a Generating Module or Energy Storage Unit has responded to a

significant Frequency disturbance, its response capability must be fully restored
as soon as technically possible. Full response capability should be restored no
later than twenty (20) minutes after the initial change of System Frequency
arising from the Frequency disturbance.

Agreement:

(a) Frequency settings: 52-50Hz in steps of 0.01Hz

(b) Measurement period Within a minimum settings range of 4 to 6

selectable settings: cycles;

(c) Operating time: Between 100 and 150ms dependent on

(e) Facility stages: Minimum of two stages of Frequency

operation.

(f) Output contacts: Two output contacts per stage to be capable

of repetitively making and breaking for 1000
operations.

CCA.4.2 Under-Frequency Load Shedding Relay Voltage Profiles

CCA.4.2.1 It is essential that the voltage supply to the under-frequency Load Shedding
Relays shall be derived from the primary System at the supply point concerned
so that the Frequency of the under-frequency Load Shedding Relays input
voltage is the same as that of the primary System which require the use of a
secure supply obtained from voltage transformers directly associated with the
grid transformer(s) concerned, the supply being obtained where necessary via
a suitable automatic voltage selection scheme.

CCA.4.3 Scheme Requirements

CCA.4.3.1 The tripping facility should be engineered in accordance with the following
reliability considerations:

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 146 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Connection Code

(a) Dependability - Failure to trip at any one particular Demand shedding

point would not harm the overall operation of the scheme. However, many
failures would have the effect of reducing the amount of Demand under
low Frequency control. An overall reasonable minimum requirement for
the dependability of the Demand shedding scheme is 96%, i.e., the
average probability of failure of each Demand shedding point should be
less than 4%. Thus, the Demand under low Frequency control will not be
reduced by more than 4% due to relay failure.

(b) Outages - Low Frequency Demand shedding schemes will be engineered

such that the amount of Demand under control is as specified by the GSO
and is not reduced unacceptably during equipment outage or
maintenance conditions.

prepare a provisional outage plan for Year 1 only.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 152 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC2.3.1.2 During the preparation of the Generation Outage Plan, the GSO will endeavour
to accommodate all outage requirements from Generators. However, there may
be occasions when an outage cannot be met, and this will require additional
consultation between the GSO and Users to formulate a best fit Generation
Outage Plan

OC2.3.1.3 The GSO will issue to Users the First Draft Generation Outage Plan by the end
of August of Year 0. Users have, until 15th October of Year 0, to notify the GSO
of any objections to this first draft of the Generation Outage Plan. The GSO will
then consult Users to resolve any differences over the first draft Generation
Outage Plan and produce a final Generation Outage Plan by the end of
November of Year 0.

OC2.3.1.4 In not less than 14 days prior to the outage start date, the Generator shall re-
confirm their outage date by submitting the outage confirmation form on the
planned outage to the GSO for approval.

For any rescheduling of planned outages, the Generator shall provide the GSO
with at least 72 hours prior written notice where the notice shall include the
anticipated start date, time and duration to obtain the approval of the GSO.

For the planned outage that is expected to complete earlier than the date, time
and duration approved above, the Generator shall at its best endeavor provide
a 24-hour notice in advance to the GSO.

OC2.3.1.5 Once the Generation Outage Plan is issued by the GSO, it can only be
changed—

(a) by order of the GSO for reasons of security of the Grid System provided
that safety of any equipment is not compromised and that the order is not
in violation of any statutory requirements;

(b) by approval of the GSO prior to the commencement of the outage, for
reasons related to security of supply, security of the Grid System, safety
of User’s staff, safety of User’s equipment or safety of members of the
public; or

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 153 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

(c) by agreement between the GSO and a Generator where only that
Generator is affected by the proposed changes.

OC2.3.1.6 When a User cannot reach agreement with the GSO concerning the Generation
Outage Plan, the dispute will be settled in accordance with the Grid Code
Dispute Resolution Procedure, contained in the General Conditions (GC).

OC2.3.1.7 The GSO shall share at all times with the Single Buyer all relevant information
related to the preparation of the Generation Outage Plan. The GSO shall also
take into consideration any information provided by the Single Buyer for the
preparation of the Generation Outage Plan.

OC2.3.2 Unplanned and Forced Outages

OC2.3.2.1 In this context Unplanned Outage refers to Generation outage not included in
the Final Generation Outage Plan established by the GSO by the end of
November of Year 0.

OC2.3.2.2 Where due to unavoidable circumstances a Generator needs to arrange an

Unplanned Outage then the User must give at least 72 hours notification prior
to the Unplanned Outage and submit it to the GSO for approval. This will
normally be provided in writing but where this is not possible, it may be provided
by telephone or other electronic means provided that it is acknowledged by the
GSO and a written record of the request is kept by the GSO and the User.
Notification must be provided according to DRC8.4.

OC2.3.2.3 The GSO may request the User to make changes related to an Unplanned
Outage programme when in the opinion of the GSO the Unplanned Outage
would adversely affect the security of the Grid System. For any outage
rescheduling in 72 hours GSO may reschedule outages less than 72 hours to
coincide with the low demand period (weekend and public holidays). User will
send written confirmation of their agreement or disagreement with the new
Unplanned Outage date and time to the GSO.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 154 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC2.3.2.4 Forced outages are Unplanned Outages requested by Generators less than
seventy-two (72) hours before the effective outage start date, which are not
possible to postpone because it could affect the safety of people and equipment
or the security of the Grid System. For a Forced Outage, the GSO shall take all
reasonable measures to maintain the integrity and security of the Grid System.

OC2.4 Planning of Transmission Outages

OC2.4.1 Preparation of Transmission Outage Plan from 3 Years Ahead to 1 Year

Ahead
OC2.4.1.1 The GSO shall plan any transmission outages required as a result of
construction or refurbishment or maintenance in Years 3 to 1 inclusive.

OC2.4.1.2 Users should bear in mind that the GSO will be preparing the Transmission
Outage Plan on the basis of the previous year's Outage Plan, and, if a User’s
outages differ or conflict with the Approved User Outage Plan, the GSO need
not alter its Transmission Outage Plan.

OC2.4.1.3 By the end of August of Year 0 the GSO will draw up a draft Transmission
Outage Plan covering the period Years 1 to 3 ahead and the GSO will notify
each relevant Users in writing of the aspects of the plan which may
operationally affect such User including in particular proposed start and end
dates of relevant Grid System outages.

OC2.4.1.4 The GSO will also indicate where a need may exist to use Operational
Intertripping, emergency switching, Demand Control or other measures
including restrictions (and reasons for such restrictions) on the dispatch of the
Units to allow the security of the Grid System to be maintained within the
Licence Standards.

OC2.4.1.5 The GSO shall have the right to request the Grid Owner to schedule outages
to coordinate with other User or Power Station outages for the optimisation of
the Grid System operation. The Grid Owner shall not unreasonably refuse such
requests.
Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 155 KOD/ST/No.9/2025
 Operating Code

OC2.4.1.6 Users have, until 15 October of Year 0, to notify the GSO of any objections to
this first draft of the Transmission Outage Plan. By the end of November of Year
0, the GSO will produce the Approved User Provisional Outage Plan.

OC2.4.1.7 By the end of November of Year 0, the GSO will produce the Final
Transmission Outage Plan covering Years 1 to 3 (provisional for Year 1 and
indicative for Year 2 to 3).

OC2.4.1.8 The GSO will notify each User in writing of the aspects of the plan which may
operationally affect such User including in particular proposed start and end
dates of relevant Grid System outages.

OC2.4.1.9 In addition, in relation to the final Transmission Outage Plan for Year 1, the
GSO shall provide to each Generator only the details which may materially
affect the Power Station of that Generator for that year. It should be noted that
the final Transmission Outage Plan for Year 1 and the updates will not give a
complete understanding of how the Grid System will operate in real time, as the
Grid System operation may be affected by other factors unknown at the time of
the plan and updates. Therefore, Users should place no reliance on the plan or
the updates showing a set of conditions that will actually occur in real time.

OC2.4.1.10 The information contained in the final Generation and Transmission Outage
plan (described in OC2.3.1 and OC2.4.1) such as generation availability and
transmission network changes due to planned outages and project
commissioning, besides other inputs such as Transmission Development Plan
by the Grid Owner, would enable the GSO to conduct the Grid System security
assessment study for Year 1 to Year 3 and to produce the relevant report by
June of Year 1.

OC2.4.2 Unplanned, Emergency, Forced Outages and Planned Outages Changes

OC2.4.2.1 The Transmission Outage Plan for Year 1 issued under OC2.4.1 shall become
the plan for Year 0 when by expiry of time, Year 1 becomes Year 0.

refurbishment and maintenance works a User needs to arrange an Unplanned,
Emergency or Forced Outage then the User must give notification as early as
possible of the Outage request and submit it to the GSO for approval. This will
normally be provided in writing but where this is not possible, it may be provided
by telephone or other electronic means provided that it is acknowledged by both
parties i.e. the GSO and the User. Notification must be provided according to
DRC8.4. The GSO may agree to the unplanned outage request including
outages for construction, refurbishment and maintenance works, subject to
prevailing Grid System condition.

OC2.4.2.4 Unplanned Outages concern the 275 kV and 500 kV outages requested by
Users at least one (1) month before the effective outage start date or the 132 kV
outages requested by the Users at least one (1) week before the effective
outage start date. For any outage request which are not compliant with the
timeline above, the GSO may consider the request, subject to prevailing Grid
System condition.

OC2.4.2.5 Emergency Outages are Unplanned Outages requested by the Users at least
one (1) day before the effective outage start date.

OC2.4.2.6 Forced Outages are Unplanned Outages requested by the Users less than
twenty-four (24) hours before the effective outage start date, which is not
possible to postpone because it could affect the safety of people and equipment
or the security of the Power System.

notify the User within 30 days of the outage start date.

OC2.4.2.8 Where the GSO determines that any change so requested is possible and
notifies the relevant User accordingly, the GSO will provide to each relevant
User with a copy of the request to which it has agreed which relates to outages
on the relevant User Systems. The information must only be used by the User
in operating that User’s System and must not be used for any other purpose or
passed on to, or used by, any other business of that User or to, or by, any
person within any other such business or elsewhere.

OC2.4.2.9 The GSO may request for the Grid Owner to make changes related to Planned,
Unplanned or Emergency Outage programme when in the opinion of the GSO
the Outage would adversely affect the security of the Grid System. The Grid
Owner will send a written confirmation to the GSO agreement or disagreement
of the new Outage date and time in writing but where this is not possible, it may
be provided by telephone or other electronic means provided that a written

OC2.7.1 All studies related to the preparation of the Outage Plan in operational timescale
shall be carried out by the GSO. The GSO may at the request of a User carry out
studies in relation to the preparation of the Outage Plan for that User. Both the
GSO and the User shall make the necessary data to carry out the study available
for the purposes of such study. Any information used in or arising from the studies
must only be used by the User in operating that User’s System and must not be
used for any other purpose or passed on to, or used by, any other business of that
User or to, or by, any person within any other such business or elsewhere.

OC2.8 Notices for Inadequate Generation Capacity to Meet Demand

OC2.8.1 Identification of Risk of Inadequate Generation Capacity to meet Demand.

OC2.8.1.1 When preparing the Outage Plan at the different considered timeframes, the
GSO identifies the periods during which a risk of inadequate generation
capacity to meet demand exist.

OC2.8.1.2 In such cases, the GSO issues a notice in writing to:

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 161 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

(a) all Generators listing any period in which there is likely to be inadequate
generation Capacity to meet Demand; and

(b) all Generators which may, in the reasonable opinion of the GSO be
affected, listing any period in which there is likely to be an unsatisfactory
localised inadequacy of generation Capacity, together with the identity of
the relevant System Constraint Group.

The GSO and each Generator will take these into account in seeking to co-
ordinate outages for that period.

OC2.8.2 Programming During Period of Inadequate Generation Capacity

OC2.8.2.1 By 1000 hours each Business Day each Generator shall provide the GSO and
Single Buyer in writing with a best estimate of Dispatch Unit inflexibility, or
CDGU unavailability due to a maintenance outage, on a daily basis for the
period two (2) to fourteen (14) days ahead (inclusive).

OC2.8.2.2 By 1600 hours each Wednesday each Generator shall provide the GSO and
Single Buyer in writing with a best estimate of Dispatch Unit inflexibility, or
CDGU unavailability due to a maintenance outage, on a weekly basis for the
period two (2) to seven (7) weeks ahead (inclusive).

OC2.8.2.3 Between 1600 hours each Wednesday and 1200 hours each Friday if the GSO,
taking into account the estimates supplied by the Generators and Demand
forecast for the period, foresees that —

(a) there is inadequate generation Capacity to meet Demand for any period
within the period two (2) to seven (7) weeks ahead (inclusive), it will issue
a notice in writing to all Users and the Commission listing any periods and
levels of inadequacy within that period; and/or

(b) having also taken into account the appropriate limit on transfers to and
from a System Constraint Group, the level of localised inadequacy of
generation Capacity for any period within the period two (2) to seven (7)
weeks ahead (inclusive) for a particular System Constraint Group, it will
issue a notice in writing to all Users which may, in the reasonable opinion
of the GSO be affected by that localised inadequacy of generation, listing

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 162 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

any periods and levels of localised inadequacy within that period. A

separate notice will be given in respect of each affected System
Constraint Group.

OC2.8.2.4 The GSO will then contact Generators in respect of their Power Station to
discuss outages and whether any change is possible to the estimate of
Dispatch Unit inflexibility or CDGU unavailability due to a maintenance outage.
The GSO will also contact Users who have agreed to participate in Demand
Response to discuss levels of firm Demand Response that can be activated.

OC2.8.2.5 If on the day prior to a Schedule Day, it is apparent from the Availability
Declarations submitted by Generators under SDC1 that there will be
inadequate generation Capacity to meet Demand and/or Localised inadequate
generation Capacity to meet Demand (as the case may be), then in accordance
with the procedures and requirements set out in SDC1, the GSO may contact
Generators to discuss whether changes to inflexibility or Offered Availability are
possible, and if they are, will reflect those in the Unit Schedule. The GSO will
also invoke Energy Storage Operators, Aggregators and Demand Response to
the extent that it is required to match generation and Demand.

OC2.9 Weekly Operational Plan

OC2.9.1 The Weekly Operational Plan provides the Generation outlook for the next week.
Its aim is to optimize and strategize the weekly scheduling of Generators and fuel
mix and also to highlight if there is shortage of generation to meet the demand for
the following week.

OC2.9.2 The Weekly Operational Plan is prepared by the Single Buyer every Thursday and
covers the period from 0000 hours on the Saturday following to immediately before
2400 hours on the second subsequent Monday. It is based on the weekly
Generation Outage Plan prepared by the GSO.

OC2.9.3 The Weekly Operational Plan includes an indication of the level of Spinning
Reserve to be utilised by the GSO in the Scheduling and Dispatch process.

Operating Code No.3 (OC3): Operating Reserves and Response

OC3.1 Introduction, Objectives and Scope

OC3.1.1 The provisions of sections MOC3.1, MOC3.2 and MOC3.3 of the Main Code shall
apply to this Operating Code No.3: Operating Reserves and Response.

OC3.2 Types of Operating Reserves

OC3.2.1 General
OC3.2.1.1 In preparing the Least Cost Unit Schedule, in accordance with SDC1, the Single
Buyer will use the Demand forecasts, as detailed in OC1 and then match
generation output to Demand plus Operating Reserve.

OC3.2.1.2 These reserves are essential for the stable operation of the Grid System and
Generators and Energy Storage Operators will have their Generating Modules
and Energy Storage Units tested from time to time in accordance with OC10 to
ensure compliance with the relevant provisions of this Grid Code.

OC3.2.1.3 There are two types of Operating Reserve namely Spinning Reserve, and Non-
Spinning Reserve. The types and requirements of responses provided by the
Operating Reserve are described and specified in OC3.2.2 and OC3.2.3.

OC3.2.2 Spinning Reserve

OC3.2.2.1 Spinning Reserve is the additional output from Generating Units or Energy
Storage Units or by Interconnected Systems which are realisable in real time in
order to arrest a deviation of system frequency due to a loss of generation or a
sudden increase of demand or a loss of external Interconnection or mismatch
between generation and demand. In accordance with the time in which the
additional MW outputs in the form of Spinning Reserve can be delivered, the
reserve response can be summarized as follows:

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 171 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

(a) Fast Frequency Response (FFR) is the response by Power Park Modules
or Energy Storage Unit to a deviation of the Grid System Frequency which
is required for arresting frequency rise/decline, in order to improve the
frequency peak/nadir and ROCOF. It is expected to be fully realizable
within two (2) seconds from the time of frequency changes and fully
sustainable for at least ten (10) seconds.

(b) Primary Response is the automatic Active Power response from Unit to
provide such a response, to a deviation of the Grid System frequency
which requires changes in the generator unit output to arrest the fall or
rise of frequency. The quantum of response shall be fully realisable within
ten (10) seconds from the time of frequency change and fully sustainable
for a at least a further twenty (20) seconds. Secondary Response is the
automatic or manual Active Power response by a Unit, including hydro
generators on synchronous condenser mode, to a deviation of the Grid
System Frequency which is fully realisable within thirty (30) seconds from
the time of frequency change and fully sustainable for at least thirty (30)
minutes.

(c) Tertiary response is the automatic or manual response by a Unit in order

to restore an adequate level of Primary and Secondary Reserve or to
provide desired (in term of economic considerations) allocation of these
reserves within the set of Units included in the Spinning Reserve or the
Non-Spinning Reserve.

Illustration of the different Reserve Responses

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 172 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC3.2.2.2 The Primary Response corresponds to the control of the speed (or Active
Power) of each Generating Unit by its individual governor (or equivalent device)
which ensures that the driving torque (or Active Power) is a function of the
system frequency.

OC3.2.2.3 Response through Interconnection Transfer is the automatic response

available from the Interconnected Parties in response to changes in generation
and demand balance in the Grid System. Response through Interconnection
Transfer is part of the Primary Response.

OC3.2.2.4 The Secondary Response aims at restoring the frequency to its nominal value
and restoring the power exchanges with the Interconnected Parties according
to schedule.

OC3.2.2.5 Demand following by Automatic Generation Control (AGC) is the automatic

response directed by the control mechanism at GSO Control Centre which
reduces the error between generation and demand to a minimum by adjusting
CDGU outputs. Demand following by AGC is part of the Secondary Response.

OC3.2.3 Non spinning Reserve

OC3.2.3.1 Non-spinning Reserve is the output available from standby Generating Units
that can be synchronized and loaded up within one (1) hour when the
Generating Unit is warm or hot and a longer timescale when the unit is cold to
cater for abnormal Demand increase or further Generating Unit breakdowns.

OC3.2.3.2 The aim of the Non-spinning Reserve is also to restore the minimum required
level of Primary and Secondary Reserves.

OC3.3 Provision of Operating Reserves

OC3.3.1 The amount of Operating Reserve required at any time will be determined by the
GSO having regard to the Demand levels, Power Station availability shortfalls and

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 173 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

the largest secured loss of generation or loss of import from or sudden export to
interconnections.

OC3.3.2 When preparing the Unit Schedule, the Single Buyer shall allocate the Spinning
Reserve to the various classes of Power Stations or Energy Storage Units so as
to fulfil the required levels of response from the spinning reserve. The Single Buyer
shall also make sure the required Spinning Reserve is spread among a sufficient
number of Generators or Energy Storage Operators in a non-discriminatory way.

OC3.4 Data Requirements

OC3.4.1 The following data related to operating reserves are used by the GSO for
operational purposes, but not limited to:

(a) Primary Response characteristics to frequency change data which

describes the Energy Storage Unit or Generating Units’ response at
different levels of loading up to rated loading including governor
droop and dead band characteristics of each Generating Unit or
Energy Storage Unit;

(b) Secondary Response characteristics to frequency change data

which describes the Energy Storage Unit or Generating Units’
response at different levels of loading up to rated loading.

OC3.4.2 Generators or Energy Storage Operators shall register this data, in the format
agreed with the Grid Owner and GSO under the Planning Code (PC) which is
termed as the Registered Data and verified under OC10. Any revisions shall also
be notified under PC and SDC1.

OC3.5 Operating Reserves from Interconnected Systems

OC3.5.1 Provision and receipt of Operating Reserve across an Interconnection are

managed by the Single Buyer in consultation with the GSO. Where the use of an
Interconnection is considered to be necessary to restore Operating Reserve on
the Grid System then this will be determined by the GSO in accordance with the

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 174 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

Interconnection Agreement, and communicated to the Single Buyer. Where an

Interconnected Party requires the use of the Operating Reserve of the Grid System
to meet a sudden failure or shortage on its system then the GSO will take the
necessary action to assist and restore the necessary Operating Reserve within the
Grid System in accordance with this OC3, as if the loss of reserve had been due
to problems within the Grid System.

OC3.5.2 The Energy delivered or received on the basis of the use of the Operating Reserve
with an Interconnected Party shall be recorded by the GSO.

Operating Code No.4 (OC4): Demand Control

OC4.1 Introduction, Objectives and Scope

OC4.1.1 The provisions of sections MOC4.1, MOC4.2 and MOC4.3 of the Main Code shall
apply to this Operating Code No.4: Demand Control.

OC4.2 Procedure for Notification of Demand Control

OC4.2.1 The GSO will arrange to have available manual or automatic Load Shedding
available and/or disconnection schemes to be employed throughout the Grid
System. These schemes are intended for use when it is possible to carry out such
Load Shedding or disconnection in the required timeframe by this means. These
schemes could also involve voltage reductions and/or manual or automatic
operation of the SCADA switching facilities and/or instructions to Users to
disconnect Demand and/or Defence Plan and/or Special Protection Schemes.

OC4.2.2 Appropriate warnings shall be issued by the GSO when there is likely to be a
requirement to shed Load in accordance with OC4.2.3 to OC4.2.6. These
warnings will be categorized in accordance with the perceived levels of risk.

OC4.2.3 An Orange Warning - high risk of Demand Control - will, where possible, be issued
by the GSO, twenty-four (24) hours before the event, by electronic means, when
the GSO anticipates that it will or may instruct Users to implement Demand
Control.

If possible, the GSO will precise the estimated required amount of load to be shed.

OC4.2.4 A Red Warning - Demand Control imminent - will, where possible, be issued by
the GSO, thirty (30) minutes before the event, by telephone instructions, when the
GSO will instruct Users to implement Demand Control.

If possible, the GSO will specify the estimated required amount of load to be shed.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 176 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC4.2.5 It may also be necessary for the GSO to issue a warning of possible Demand
Control to cover a local situation where the risk of serious overloading or voltage
collapse is foreseen on the Plant or Apparatus of Power Stations or Grid System
in a particular section of the System. Such warnings will be issued as Orange or
Red warnings but specific to the locality.

OC4.2.6 The purpose of warnings is to obtain the necessary Load relief required with the
least possible inconvenience to Consumers and, to that end, to ensure that
response to requests for disconnection is both prompt and effective. Demand
Control will, however, be required without warning if unusual and unforeseeable
circumstances create severe operational problems.

OC4.3 Procedure for Implementation of Demand Control

OC4.3.1 Demand Control will be achieved by telephone instructions in the case of

instructed Demand Control, to each relevant User and by direct switching by the
GSO in the case of manual Demand Control.

OC4.3.2 Whether an Orange or Red warning has been issued or not, each relevant User
shall abide by the instructions of the GSO with regard to Demand Control without
delay.

OC4.3.3 The Demand Control must be achieved within the System of each User as far as
possible uniformly across all Grid Supply Points unless otherwise instructed by the
GSO.

OC4.3.4 Each User shall abide by the instructions of the GSO with regard to the restoration
of Demand under this OC4.3 without delay. The User shall not restore Demand
until it has received such instruction. The restoration of Demand must be achieved
as soon as possible and the process of restoration must begin within two (2)
minutes of the instruction being given by the GSO.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 177 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC4.3.5 In circumstances of protracted shortage of generation or where a statutory

instruction has been given (e.g. a fuel security period) and when a reduction in
Demand is envisaged by the GSO to be prolonged, the GSO will notify the relevant
Users of the expected duration.

OC4.3.6 Each relevant User will notify the GSO that it has complied with instructions of the
GSO under this OC4.3, within ten (10) minutes of doing so, together with an
estimation of the Demand reduction or restoration achieved.

OC4.4 Under-Frequency Load Shedding

OC4.4.1 The GSO shall make all necessary studies, arrangement and coordination to
ensure sufficient quantum of automatic under-frequency Load Shedding as
determined by the GSO in accordance with the requirements of the Grid System.
The purpose of this is to seek to limit the consequences of a major loss of
generation or an event on the Power System which leaves part or all of the Power
System with a generation deficit.

OC4.4.2 Each User shall upon the instruction of the GSO implement, test, and maintain
automatic frequency Load Shedding to the quanta as specified by GSO and
confirmed in writing. The Load Shedding disconnection points may relate to
individual or specific groups of Grid Supply Points, as determined by the GSO.
The general characteristics of the type of equipment by which these quanta of
Load Shedding shall be achieved will be in accordance with Appendix 4 of the CC.

OC4.4.3 The GSO shall monitor the availability of the quanta of Load Shedding using data
from system disturbances and review the overall quanta at least once every three
(3) years. Users shall make available all the data by which the GSO can monitor
the performance of their Load Shedding schemes.

OC4.4.4 The load or demand of each User (instructed by the GSO to implement under-
frequency Load Shedding) which is subject to under-frequency Load Shedding will
be split into discrete MW blocks. The number, location, size and the associated
Low Frequency Relay settings (frequency, ROCOF and time settings) of these

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 178 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

blocks, will be as specified by the GSO following discussion with the User and will
be reviewed in accordance with OC4.4.3 by the GSO. The distribution of the
blocks will be such as to give a reasonably uniform disconnection within the
System of the User across all Grid Supply Points.

OC4.4.5 Once under-frequency Load Shedding has taken place, the User on whose
System it has occurred, will not reconnect until the GSO instructs that User to do
so. Once the Frequency has recovered, each User will abide by the instructions of
the GSO with regard to reconnection without delay.

OC4.4.6 Reconnection must be achieved as soon as possible and the process of

reconnection must begin within two (2) minutes of the instruction being given by
the GSO. The User will notify the GSO with an estimation of the Demand
Reduction which has occurred under automatic under-frequency Load Shedding
and will similarly notify the GSO about the restoration in each case within five (5)
minutes of the disconnection or restoration.

OC4.5 Under-Voltage Load Shedding

OC4.5.1 The GSO shall make all necessary studies, arrangement and coordination to ensure
sufficient quanta of automatic under voltage Load Shedding as determined by the
GSO in accordance with the requirements of the Grid System. The purpose of this
is to seek to limit the consequences of potential voltage instability.

OC4.5.2 Each User shall upon the instruction of the GSO implement, test, and maintain
automatic under voltage Load Shedding to the quanta as specified by GSO and
confirmed in writing. The general characteristics of the type of equipment by which
these quanta of Load Shedding shall be achieved will be in accordance
requirements of the CC.

OC4.5.3 The GSO shall monitor the availability of the quanta of Load Shedding using data
from system disturbances and review the overall quanta at least once every three
(3) years. Users shall make available all the data by which the GSO can monitor
the performance of their Load Shedding schemes.

 Operating Code

OC4.5.4 The load or demand of each User (instructed by the GSO to implement UVLS)
which is subject to Under Voltage Load Shedding will be split into discrete MW
blocks. The number, location, size and the associated low Voltage relay settings
(voltage and time settings) of these blocks, will be as specified by the GSO
following discussion with the User and will be reviewed in accordance with
OC4.5.3 by the GSO. The distribution of the blocks will be such as to give a
reasonably uniform disconnection within each area of the System across all Grid
Supply Points.

OC4.5.5 Once under voltage Load Shedding has taken place, the User on whose System
it has occurred, will not reconnect until the GSO instructs that User to do so. Once
the voltage has recovered, each User will abide by the instructions of the GSO
with regard to reconnection without delay.

OC4.5.6 Reconnection must be achieved as soon as possible and the process of

reconnection must begin within two (2) minutes of the instruction being given by
the GSO. The User will notify the GSO with an estimation of the Demand
Reduction which has occurred under automatic under voltage Load Shedding and
similarly notify the restoration in each case within five (5) minutes of the
disconnection or restoration.

OC4.6 Emergency Manual Load Shedding or Disconnection

OC4.6.1 Each User will make arrangements that will enable it, following an instruction from
the GSO, to disconnect loads under emergency conditions irrespective of
Frequency within thirty (30) minutes. It must be possible to apply the Demand
disconnections to individual or specific groups of Grid Supply Points, as
determined by the GSO.

OC4.6.2 Each User shall abide by the instructions of the GSO with regard to disconnection
under this OC4.6 without delay, and the disconnection must be achieved as soon
as possible after the instruction being given by the GSO, and in any case, within

Grid Supply Point and/or groups of Grid Supply Points.

OC4.6.3 The GSO will notify a User who has been instructed under this OC4.6, of what has
happened on the Grid System to necessitate the instruction, in accordance with
the provisions of OC5.

OC4.6.4 Once a disconnection has been applied by a User at the instruction of the GSO,
that User shall not reconnect until the GSO instructs it to do so.

OC4.6.5 Each User shall abide by the instructions of the GSO with regard to reconnection
under OC4.6 without delay and shall not reconnect until it has received such
instruction and reconnection must be achieved as soon as possible and the
process of reconnection must begin within two (2) minutes of the instruction being
given by the GSO.

OC4.6.6 The GSO may itself disconnect manually and reconnect Grid Connected
Customers as part of a Demand Control requirement under emergency conditions.

OC4.6.7 If the GSO determines that emergency manual disconnection referred to in this
OC4.6 is inadequate, the GSO may disconnect Network Operators and/or Grid

OC5.7 Procedure for Information Flow During Commissioning and Compliance

Tests

OC5.7.1 General
OC5.7.1.1 This section of the Grid Code deals with information flow during Commissioning
Tests and Compliance Tests. It is designed to provide a framework for the
exchange of relevant information and for discussion between the Single Buyer,
Grid Owner and GSO and certain Users in relation to Commissioning Tests and
Compliance Tests.

OC5.7.1.2 Commissioning Tests and Compliance Tests are carried out in accordance with
the provisions of this OC5.7, at a User site or GSO Control Centre, and will
normally be undertaken during commissioning or re-commissioning of Plant
and/or Apparatus.

OC5.7.1.3 In the case of a Commissioning Tests, notification must be made where the test
may, in the reasonable judgement of the person wishing to perform the test,
cause, or have the potential to cause, an Operational Effect on a part or parts
of the Power System but which with prior notice is unlikely to have a materially
adverse effect on any part of the Power System, and may form part of an agreed
programme of work.

OC5.7.1.4 In the case of a Compliance Tests, notification of the requirement will be made
by the GSO to the User.

OC5.7.2 Notification
OC5.7.2.1 In order to undertake a Commissioning or Compliance Test, the User or the
GSO or the Single Buyer, as the case may be, (the proposer) must notify the
other (the recipient) of a proposed Commissioning or Compliance Test.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 191 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

Reasonable advance notification must be given, taking into account the nature
of the test and the circumstances which make the test necessary. This will allow
recipients time to adequately assess the impact of the Commissioning or
Compliance Test on their System.

OC5.7.2.2 The notification of the Commissioning Test, the test should be incorporated as
part of any overall commissioning programme agreed between the GSO the
Users, and must normally include the following information:

(a) the proposed date and time of the Commissioning Test;

(b) the name of the individual and the organization proposing the
Commissioning Test;

(c) a proposed programme of testing; and

(d) such further detail as the proposer reasonably believes the recipient
needs in order to assess the effect the Commissioning Test may have on
relevant Plant and/or Apparatus.

OC5.7.2.3 The notification of the Compliance Test must normally include the following
information:

(a) a proposed period in which the GSO or the Single Buyer proposes that a
Compliance Test should take place;

(b) a proposed programme of testing.

The recipient of notification of a Compliance Test must respond within a

reasonable timescale prior to the start time of the Compliance Test and will not
unreasonably withhold or delay acceptance of the Compliance Test proposal.

OC5.7.2.4 Where the Single Buyer and GSO receives notification of a proposed
Commissioning Test from a User, the GSO will consult those other Users whom
it reasonably believes may be affected by the proposed Commissioning Test to
seek their views. Information relating to the proposed Commissioning Test may
be passed on by the GSO with the prior agreement of the Test Proposer.
However, it is not necessary for the GSO to obtain the agreement of any such
Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 192 KOD/ST/No.9/2025
 Operating Code

User as Commissioning Tests should not involve the application of irregular,

unusual or extreme conditions. The GSO may however consider any comments
received when deciding whether or not to agree to a Commissioning Test.

OC5.7.2.5 The response from the recipient, following notification of a Commissioning Test
must be one of the following:

(a) to accept the Commissioning Test proposal;

(b) to accept the Commissioning Test proposal conditionally subject to minor

modifications such as date and time;

(c) not to agree to the Commissioning Test, but to suggest alterations to the
detail and timing of the Commissioning Test that is necessary to make
the Commissioning Test acceptable.

OC5.7.3 Final confirmation

OC5.7.3.1 The date and time of a Commissioning or Compliance Test will be confirmed
between the GSO, the User, the Grid Owner and the Single Buyer together with
any limitations and restrictions on operation of Plant and/or Apparatus.

OC5.7.3.2 The Commissioning or Compliance Test may subsequently be amended

following discussion and agreement between the GSO, the User, the Grid
Owner and the Single Buyer.

OC5.7.4 Execution
OC5.7.4.1 Commissioning or Compliance Tests may only take place when agreement has
been reached and must be carried out in accordance with the agreed
programme of testing and the provisions of the relevant Agreement.

OC5.7.4.2 The implementation of a Commissioning or Compliance Test will be notified in

accordance with OC5.7.2.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 193 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC5.7.4.3 Where elements of the programme of testing change during the Commissioning
or Compliance Test, there must be discussion between the appropriate parties
to identify whether the Commissioning or Compliance Test should continue.

Operating Code No.7 (OC7): Emergency Operations

OC7.1 Introduction, Objectives and Scope

OC7.1.1 The provisions of sections MOC7.1, MOC7.2 and MOC7.3 of the Main Code shall
apply to this Operating Code No.7: Emergency Operation.

OC7.2 Procedures

OC7.2.1 General
OC7.2.1.1 The GSO shall establish, maintain and regularly review a Grid System Defence
Plan and Grid System Restoration Plan in conjunction with Users, which can
be called into action immediately during Grid System Emergencies.

OC7.2.1.2 In relation to the requirement in OC7.2.1.1, all Users shall also establish,
maintain and regularly review their respective Restoration Plans and in doing
so must be aware of the of the Grid System requirements through consultation
with the GSO.

OC7.2.1.3 It is important that all Users identified under MOC7.3 make themselves fully
aware of contingency requirements, as failure to act in accordance with the
instructions of the GSO will risk further disruptions to the Grid System and,
potentially, supplies to all Consumers.

OC7.2.1.4 The purpose of the Grid System Defence Plan is to undertake measures in
preventing Grid System Emergency conditions. It includes but is not limited to
the under-frequency Load Shedding plan and to the use of Special Protection
Schemes.

OC7.2.1.5 When the Grid System is under Emergency conditions, the GSO is able to
decide to cease the normal Scheduling and Dispatch process including TPA

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 198 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

and inform Users accordingly. The normal Scheduling and Dispatch process
will only be re-implemented under instruction of the GSO.

OC7.2.2 Determination of Grid System Emergency Conditions

OC7.2.2.1 The GSO will activate the Grid System Restoration Plan when, any of the
following has occurred:

(a) data arriving at the GSO Control Centre indicating a Grid System split or
the existence of a risk to Plant or Apparatus which requires that Plant or
Apparatus be off-loaded or shutdown, which itself constitutes a Critical
Incident;

(b) reports or data from Power Stations that a Generating Module has tripped
or needs to be offloaded which constitutes a Critical Incident;

(c) reports or data via the SCADA system that indicates a Partial Blackout or
Total Blackout may be imminent or exists;

(d) loss of GSO Control Centre;

(e) fuel supply emergency;

(f) report from the field staff or Users or Public of imminent danger to Critical
Installation of the Grid System;

(g) adverse weather conditions; or

(h) reports of fire affecting or may be affecting critical installations of the Grid
System, imminent tower collapse, bomb threat etc.

OC7.2.3 Grid System Restoration Plan

OC7.2.3.1 The Grid System Restoration Plan will serve as a guide during System
Emergencies and will outline the operational structure to facilitate a safe and
prompt restoration process and avoidance of disruption of supplies.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 199 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC7.2.3.2 The Grid System Restoration Plan will also address the restoration priorities of
the different Consumer groups and also the ability of each CDGU to accept
sudden loading increases due to the re-energising of Demand blocks.

OC7.2.3.3 Certain Power Stations will be registered as Black Start Power Stations having
a capability for at least one of their CDGUs to Start-up from Shutdown and to
energise a part of the Power System, or be Synchronized to the System, upon
instruction from the GSO within the shortest reasonable time, without an
external electrical power supply.

OC7.2.3.4 The generic tasks outlined in the Grid System Restoration Plan are:

(a) if communication is cut off, the re-establishment of full communications

between parties;

(b) the determination of the status of the post Critical Incident system
including the status and condition of HV Apparatus and Plant;

(c) actions and instructions to Users for restoration or recovery of Grid

System from imminent disruption of supplies;

(d) actions and instructions to Users for restoration of Grid System from loss
of supplies;

(e) instructions by the GSO to the relevant parties;

(f) coordination procedures between adjacent Users;

(g) mobilisation and assignment of priorities to personnel;

(h) preparation of Power Stations and the Grid System for systematic
restoration;

(i) re-energization of Power Islands using Black Start Power Stations if

necessary;

(j) re-synchronization of the various Power Islands to restore the

interconnected Grid System;

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 200 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

(k) staffing levels requirements during emergency;

(l) priority of categories of loads to restored as determined by the GSO; and

(m) an audit of the Grid System after restoration to ensure that the overall
Grid System is back to normal and all Demand is connected, and in line
with the reporting requirements of OC6 all data has been collected for
reporting purposes.

OC7.2.3.5 The Grid System Restoration Plan shall be developed and maintained by the
GSO. The GSO will issue the Grid System Restoration Plan and subsequent
revisions to appropriate Users and other relevant parties.

OC7.2.3.6 The implementation of the Grid System Restoration Plan may not be in the
order as defined in the plan and this will be up to the discretion of the GSO.

OC7.2.4 Restoration procedures

OC7.2.4.1 The procedure for the Grid System Restoration Plan shall be that notified in
writing by the GSO to the User for use at the time of System Emergencies.

OC7.2.4.2 Each User shall abide by the GSO‘s instructions during the restoration process,
unless doing so would endanger life or would cause damage to Plant or
Apparatus.

OC7.2.4.3 To expedite restoration in the event of an area shutdown of generating

capability, each System should set up necessary operating instructions and
procedures to cover emergency conditions, including loss of communications.

OC7.2.4.4 Due to the complexities and uncertainties of recovery from total or partial
System collapse, the contingency plans must be in place to address the overall
strategy of restoration and management of the process. These plans form the
Grid System Restoration Plan.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 201 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC7.2.4.5 During total or partial collapse and during subsequent recovery, the Grid
System may be operated outside normal voltage and Frequency standards. In
total or partial collapse and during the subsequent recovery, the normal
Schedule and Dispatch process will cease and will only be re-implemented
under instruction of the GSO.

OC7.2.4.6 Generators shall, in consultation with the GSO, set up their own contingency
plans to cater for normalization of their own system after a total or partial
collapse in their area. All contingency plans shall/may be reviewed and updated
once in three (3) years or as when the GSO determines it necessary in order to
reflect changes in the Grid System and other Systems and to address any
deficiency found.

OC7.2.4.7 Where necessary, the GSO can vary these procedures in real-time where,
under System Stress conditions, the GSO in its reasonable opinion considers
that such a change is required. Users are required to comply with instructions
of the GSO, unless to do so would endanger life or would cause damage to
Plant or Apparatus.

OC7.2.4.8 The GSO shall ensure that a systematic restoration process is conducted by
energising each part of Power Island in such a way as to avoid load rejection
by the CDGUs concerned. When energising a substation that has become de-
energised, Isolation of certain outgoing feeders at that substation may be
necessary to prevent excessive load pick-up on CDGUs connected to that
Power Island or the Grid System as the case may be, upon re-energisation.
Where a Power Island has become de-energised, meaning that no CDGUs are
operating to supply Consumer Demand, then the GSO will need to call on the
service of Black Start Power Stations to re-establish voltage and frequency in
that Power Island.

OC7.2.4.9 The following switching guidelines shall be used in preparation for restoration:

(a) the GSO Control Centre establishes its communication channels for the

(b) the GSO Control Centre sectionalises the Grid System into pre-
determined Power Islands;

(c) if possible, power should be made available at the auxiliary boards of the
Power Stations within four (4) hours of the system collapse to start
CDGUs;

(d) during the restoration, steel mills have to be instructed not to operate their
arc furnaces;

(e) a selective open strategy is adopted for 275 kV or 132 kV Active Circuits
at transmission substations;

(f) a feeding strategy is adopted for the Black Start Power Stations; and

(g) a cross feeding strategy is adopted for utilising Black Start Power Stations
to support the start-up of other Power Stations in the same Power Island.

OC7.2.5 Demand Restoration

OC7.2.5.1 The re-energisation of transmission substations and Power Islands will involve
the balancing of available generation Capacity to Grid System Demand. It is
the responsibility of the GSO Control Centre to have details of each
transmission substation Demand by transmission circuit, in order that the
CDGU's concerned shall not be presented with load pickup in excess of the
weakest CDGU's loading acceptance limit. If this is not followed, this can result
in load-rejection by a CDGU.

OC7.2.5.2 Re-energisation procedures should address the following issues:

(a) CDGU maximum load pickup shall not be exceeded;

(b) long transmission lines should be energised with shunt reactors in circuit;

(c) Demand shall be predicted and also monitored in real time to determine
when additional transmission circuits can be re-energised; and

(d) At least one Generating Unit in each Power Island to be operating in

frequency sensitive mode.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 203 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC7.2.5.3 Wherever practicable, high priority Consumers such as Federal Government

Administrative Centre shall have their Demand restored first.

OC7.2.5.4 Such a priority list, as contained in the Grid System Restoration Plan shall be
prepared on the basis of Consumer categories and the Power Islands by the
GSO for the approval of the Commission.

OC7.2.5.5 During restoration of Demand, the Grid System Frequency shall be monitored
to maintain it above 49.5Hz as far as is possible.

OC7.2.6 Dealing with System Splits

OC7.2.6.1 Where the Grid System splits, it is important that any Power Islands that exist
are re-synchronized as soon as practicable to the main Grid System, but where
this is not possible, Consumers should be kept on-supply from the Power
Islands to which they are connected.

OC7.2.6.2 When CDGUs have shut down and sections of the network are experiencing
blackout conditions then the GSO will have to consider the available generating
Capacity including any Operating Reserve and the prospective Demand that
will be restored to ensure each Power Island operates within the Frequency
limits given in the Licence Standard.

OC7.2.6.3 In the event of an extended duration system split the GSO shall apply a
contingency plan which may include issuing of warnings, load disconnection
and any other measures deemed necessary.

OC7.2.6.4 Where Power Islanding occurs under System Stress, then the GSO Control
Centre should also have available rota Load Shedding programmes to avoid
Customers being disconnected indiscriminately and being left without supplies
for extended periods

OC7.2.7.2 The GSO shall be responsible for arranging training and exercises of relevant
parties and with Interconnected Parties, to ensure that all parties are aware of
their roles in this OC7. Once these parties are familiar with the role assigned
by the GSO then exercises can be conducted, using simulators or other training
methods as appropriate with the relevant parties covered by this OC7.

OC7.2.7.3 Users shall have the responsibility to ensure that their own staffs are familiar
with their restoration procedures and coordination with the GSO and may seek
the cooperation of the GSO in order to facilitate this requirement.

OC7.2.7.4 The GSO shall in consultation with each User on at least one occasion in three
(3) years, carry out a Grid System Restoration drill. The content of the drill shall
be notified in advance to the relevant parties, and a date and time for execution
of the drill shall be agreed. Users must cooperate with any such drill.

OC7.2.8 Recovery Procedures from Abnormal Operating Conditions

OC7.2.8.1 The GSO shall establish its Grid System Restoration Plan with due regard to
the requirements associated with abnormal operating conditions which may
lead to issue of warnings related to imminent disruption of supply.

Operating Code No.8 (OC8): Safety Coordination

OC8.1 Introduction, Objectives and Scope

OC8.1.1 The provisions of sections MOC8.1, MOC8.2 and MOC8.3 of the Main Code shall
apply to this Operating Code No.8: Safety Coordination.

OC8.2 Procedures for Local Safety Instructions, Coordinators and Records of

Safety Precautions

OC8.2.1 General
OC8.2.1.1 OC8 does not seek to impose a particular set of Safety Rules on the Grid Owner
and other Users. The Safety Rules to be adopted and used by the Grid Owner
and each User shall be those chosen by each party's management.

OC8.2.1.2 At all Grid Supply Points, the Safety Rules to be used by both the Grid Owner
and the Associated Users shall be as determined by the Grid Owner after
consultation with the GSO. Competencies of the Grid Owner personnel and
User’s staff may be certified by the Grid Owner as allowed by the Commission.

OC8.2.2 Defined Terms

OC8.2.2.1 Users should bear in mind that in OC8 only, in order that OC8 reads more easily
with the terminology used in certain User's Safety Rules, the term "HV
Apparatus" is defined more restrictively and is used accordingly in OC8. Users
should, therefore, exercise caution in relation to this term when reading and
using OC8.

OC8.2.2.2 In OC8 only the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) "HV Apparatus" means High Voltage electrical Apparatus forming part of
a Network to which "Safety Precautions" must be applied to allow work to
be carried out on that Network or a neighbouring Network.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 208 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

(b) "Isolation" means the disconnection or separation of HV Apparatus from

the remainder of the Network in accordance with the following:

(i) an Isolating device maintained in an isolating position. The isolating

position must be either:

A. maintained by immobilising and/or locking of the isolating

device in the isolating position and affixing an "Isolation
Notice" to it. Where the isolating device is locked with a
"Safety Key", the Safety Key must be retained in safe custody;

B. maintained and/or secured by electronic means provided that

the entry of at least two (2) passwords are required before an
action can be implemented; or

C. maintained and/or secured by such other method which must

be in accordance with the "Local Safety Instructions" of the
Network Controller or that User, as the case may be;

or:

(ii) an adequate physical separation which must be in accordance with,

and maintained by, the method set out in the Local Safety
Instructions of the Network Controller or that User, as the case may
be, and, if it is a part of that method, an Isolation Notice must be
placed at the point of separation.

(c) "Earthing" means a way of providing a connection between HV

conductors and earth by an Earthing device which is either:

(i) immobilised and locked in the Earthing positions. Where the

Earthing device is locked with a Safety Key, the Safety Key must
be secured and kept in safe custody; or

(ii) maintained and/or secured in position by such other method which

must be in accordance with the Local Safety Instructions of the
Network Controller or that User as the case may be; or

(iii) temporary Earthing immediately adjacent to the area or work.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 209 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

(d) For the purpose of the coordination of safety under this OC8 relating
to HV Apparatus, the term "Safety Precautions" means Isolation and/or
Earthing.

(e) "Network Controller" means the network control centre that is

responsible for that part of the Grid System or Distribution Network that
the User has its Grid Supply Point on.

OC8.2.2.3 In OC8, references to any relevant Agreement shall be deemed to include

references to the application or offer thereof.

OC8.2.3 Local Safety Instructions

OC8.2.3.1 Either party may require that the Isolation and/or Earthing provisions in the
other party's Safety Rules to be made more stringent by the issue by that party
of a Local Safety Instructions affecting the Grid Supply Point concerned.
Provided that these requirements are not unreasonable in the view of the other
party, then that other party will make such changes as soon as reasonably
practicable. These changes may need to cover the application of Isolation
and/or Earthing at a place remote from the Grid Supply Point, depending upon
the Network layout. Approval may not be withheld because the party required
to approve reasonably believes the provisions relating to Isolation and/or
Earthing are too stringent.

OC8.2.3.2 If following approval, a party wishes to change the provisions in its Local Safety
Instructions relating to Isolation and/or Earthing, it must inform the other party.
If the change is to make the provisions more stringent, then the other party
merely has to note the changes. If the change is to make the provisions less
stringent, then the other party needs to approve the new provisions, and the
procedures referred to in this OC8.2.3 apply.

OC8.2.3.3 The procedures for the establishment of safety coordination by the GSO with
an Interconnected Party are set out in the interconnection operation manual
applicable to each Interconnected Party.

OC8.2.4 Safety Coordinators

OC8.2.4.1 For each Grid Supply Point each User will at all times have a person nominated
as “Safety Coordinator", to be responsible for the coordination of safety
precautions when work is to be carried out on a Network, which necessitates
the provision of Safety Precautions on HV Apparatus as required by this OC8.
A Safety Coordinator may be responsible for the coordination of safety on HV
Apparatus at more than one Grid Supply Point. The names of these Safety
Coordinators will be notified in writing to the Network Controller by Users.

OC8.2.4.2 Each Safety Coordinator shall be authorised by the GSO on behalf of the
Commission in the case of the Grid Owner or by the Commission in the case of
a User, as the case may be, as competent to carry out the functions set out in
this OC8 to achieve safety from the Grid System. Only persons with such
authorisation will carry out the provisions of this OC8. Each safety coordinator
for a User will be a company nominated Commission competent person.

OC8.2.4.3 Contact between Safety Coordinators and the Network Controller will be made
via normal operational channels and accordingly separate telephone numbers
for Safety Coordinators shall be provided to the Network Controller. At the time
of making contact, each User will confirm to the Network Controller that they
are authorised to act as Safety Coordinator, pursuant to this OC8.

OC8.2.4.4 If work is to be carried out on a Network which necessitates the provision of

Safety Precautions on HV Apparatus in accordance with the provisions of this
OC8, the "Requesting Safety Coordinator" who requires the Safety Precautions
to be provided will contact the Network Controller who will contact the relevant
"Implementing Safety Coordinator" to co-ordinate the establishment of the
Safety Precautions.

Operating Code No.9 (OC9): Numbering and Nomenclature

OC9.1 Introduction, Objectives and Scope

OC9.1.1 The provisions of sections MOC9.1, MOC9.2 and MOC9.3 of the Main Code shall
apply to this Operating Code No.9: Numbering and Nomenclature.

OC9.2 Procedure

OC9.2.1 General
OC9.2.1.1 The term "User Site" means a site owned (or occupied pursuant to a lease,
licence or other agreement) by a User in which there is a Grid Supply Point. For
the avoidance of doubt, where a site is owned by the Grid Owner but occupied
by another User, the site is a User Site.

OC9.2.1.2 The term "Site of the Grid Owner” means a site owned (or occupied pursuant
to a lease, licence or other agreement) by the Grid Owner in which there is a
Grid Supply Point. For the avoidance of doubt, where a site is owned by a User
but occupied by the Grid Owner, the site is Site of the Grid Owner.

OC9.2.2 Grid Owner HV Apparatus

OC9.2.2.1 HV Apparatus of the Grid Owner on the Grid Owner Sites shall have numbering
and nomenclature in accordance with the system used by the GSO.

OC9.2.2.2 HV Apparatus of the Grid Owner on User’s Sites shall have numbering and
nomenclature in accordance with the system used by the GSO. For the Grid
System and at points of interface between the Grid System and a User’s system
it is the responsibility of the GSO to determine the numbering and nomenclature
convention which Users shall follow.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 224 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC9.2.2.3 Due to system changes, although the naming and nomenclature convention will
remain unchanged, the names and numbers of individual items of apparatus
and equipment may change from time to time. Users and the GSO, as the case
may be, should be aware of this and take all reasonable measures to ensure
that labels and Single Line Diagrams are maintained in accordance with the
most recent names and numbers. If there are changes in system arrangements
that affect names and numbering, naming and numbering of User’s equipment
shall be changed as required by the GSO.

OC9.2.2.4 The GSO may, in certain circumstances, provide temporary names and
numbers for equipment and apparatus to Users. Where this is the case, the
GSO shall declare the names and/or numbers as temporary. The relevant User
will not install, or permit the installation of, any HV Apparatus on such User Site
which has numbering and/oror nomenclature which could be confused with HV
Apparatus of the Grid Owner which is either already on that User Site or which
the Grid Owner has notified that User will be installed on that User Site.

OC9.2.3 User HV Apparatus on Grid Owner Sites

OC9.2.3.1 User’s HV Apparatus on Sites of the Grid Owner shall have numbering and
nomenclature in accordance with the system specified by the GSO.

OC9.2.3.2 When a User is to install its HV Apparatus on a Site of the Grid Owner, or it
wishes to replace existing HV Apparatus on a Site of the Grid Owner and it
wishes to adopt new numbering and nomenclature for such HV Apparatus, the
User shall notify the GSO of the details of the HV Apparatus and the User shall
request a proposed numbering and nomenclature to be adopted for that HV
Apparatus from the GSO, at least eight (8) months prior to proposed installation.

OC9.2.3.3 The notification will be made in writing to the GSO and shall consist of a
proposed Operation Diagram incorporating the proposed new HV Apparatus of
the User to be installed.

OC9.2.3.4 The GSO will respond in writing to the User within two (2) months and provide
details of the numbering and nomenclature which the User shall adopt for that

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 225 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

HV Apparatus. The User shall then inform any other effected or related User
and shall adopt the numbering and nomenclature within six (6) months of the
details being provided by the GSO.

OC9.2.4 Changes
OC9.2.4.1 Where the GSO in its reasonable opinion has decided that it needs to change
the existing numbering or nomenclature of HV Apparatus of the Grid Owner on
other User's Site or of User's HV Apparatus on a Site of the Grid Owner:

(a) the provisions of paragraph OC9.2.2 shall apply to such change of

numbering or nomenclature of HV Apparatus of the Grid Owner with any
necessary amendments to those provisions to reflect that only a change
is being made; and

(b) in the case of a change in the numbering or nomenclature of User's HV

Apparatus on a Site of the Grid Owner, the GSO will notify the User of the
numbering and/or nomenclature the User shall adopt for that HV
Apparatus (the notification to be in a form similar to that envisaged under
OC9.2.2) at least eight (8) months prior to the change being needed and
the User will respond in writing to the GSO within two (2) months of the
receipt of the notification, confirming receipt. The User shall then inform
any other effected or related User and shall adopt the numbering and
nomenclature within six (6) months of the details being provided by the
GSO.

OC9.2.4.2 Users will be provided upon request with details of the current numbering and
nomenclature system of the Grid in order to assist them in planning the
numbering and nomenclature for their HV Apparatus on Sites of the Grid
Owner.

OC9.2.4.3 When either the Grid Owner or other User installs HV Apparatus which is the
subject of OC9, the Grid Owner or other User, as the case may be, shall be
responsible for the provision and erection of clear and unambiguous labelling
showing the numbering and nomenclature.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 226 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC9.2.4.4 Where a User is required by OC9 to change the numbering and/or

nomenclature of HV Apparatus which is the subject of OC9, the User will be
responsible for the provision and erection of clear and unambiguous labelling
by the required date.

OC9.2.4.5 Where the Grid Owner changes the numbering and/or nomenclature of its HV
Apparatus which is the subject of OC9, the Grid Owner will be responsible for
the provision and erection of clear and unambiguous labelling showing the
numbering and nomenclature by the required date.

OC9.2.4.6 The GSO will not change its system of numbering and nomenclature in use
other than to reflect new or newly adopted technology or HV Apparatus.

Operating Code No.11 (OC11): System Tests

OC11.1 Introduction, Objectives and Scope

OC11.1.1 The provisions of sections MOC11.1, MOC11.2 and MOC11.3 of the Main Code
shall apply to this Operating Code No.11: System Tests.

OC11.2 Procedure for Arranging System Tests

OC11.2.1 General
OC11.2.1.1 System Tests which in the reasonable opinion of the GSO are expected to have
a "minimal effect" upon the Grid System and/or User Systems will not be subject
to this procedure. "Minimal effect" means that any distortion to voltage and
Frequency at Grid Supply Points does not exceed the License Standards and
that the security of the Grid System is not compromised.

OC11.2.1.2 Where a System Test is proposed by a User and considered by that User to
have a "minimal effect" upon the Grid System and/or the User System, it is the
responsibility of that User to determine that this is the case and if in doubt, to
consult the GSO.

OC11.2.1.3 Where the System Test is proposed by the GSO, it is the responsibility of the
GSO to determine whether or not the System Test will have “minimal effect”
upon the Grid System and User’s Systems.

OC11.2.2 Test Proposal Notice

OC11.2.2.1 The level of Demand on the Grid System varies substantially according to the
time of day and less so according to the time of year. Consequently, certain
System Tests which may have a significant impact on the Grid System (for
example, tests of the full load capability of a Generating Unit over a period of
several hours) can only be undertaken at certain times of the day and year.
Other System Tests, for example, those involving substantial MVAr generation

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 234 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

or valve tests, may also be subject to timing constraints. It therefore follows that
notice of System Tests should be given as far in advance of the date on which
they are proposed to be carried out as reasonably practicable, and in any case
not less than three (3) months prior to the proposed date of the System Tests.

OC11.2.2.2 In certain cases a System Test may need to be conducted in less than three
(3) months’ notice. In that case, after consultation with the Test Proposer and
User(s) identified by the GSO under MOC11.3, the GSO shall propose a
suitable timetable for the System Test and the procedure set out in OC11.2.3
to OC11.2.6 shall be followed in accordance with that timetable.

OC11.2.2.3 When the Grid Owner or any other User intends to undertake a System Test, a
"Test Proposal Notice" shall be given by the "Test Proposer" to the GSO and
to all parties who may be affected by such a test. The proposed Test Proposal
Notice shall be in writing and include details of the nature and purpose of the
test and will indicate the extent and situation of the Plant and Apparatus
involved. The proposal shall also include the detailed test procedures.

OC11.2.2.4 If the GSO is of the view that the information set out in the Test Proposal Notice
is insufficient, it will contact the Test Proposer as soon as reasonably
practicable. The GSO will not be required to do anything under this OC11 until
it is satisfied with the details supplied in the Test Proposal Notice or pursuant
to a request for further information.

OC11.2.2.5 Each User including the Grid Owner must submit a Test Proposal Notice to the
GSO if it proposes to undertake a System Test. Examples of System Tests that
a User may carry out are as follows:

(a) Generating Module full load capability tests including load acceptance
tests and re-commissioning tests;

(b) Var limiter tests;

(c) Main steam valve tests;

(d) Load rejection tests;

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 235 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

(e) On-load protection testing;

(f) Directional tests;

(g) Primary Response and Secondary Response performance tests;

(h) Short-circuit generator terminal test; and

(i) Special Protection Scheme tests.

OC11.2.2.6 If the GSO wishes to undertake a System Test, the GSO shall be deemed to
have written a proposal of that test through procedures internal to the GSO.
Examples of System Tests that the GSO may carry out are as follows:

(a) Load rejection tests;

(b) Directional tests;

(c) Special Protection Scheme tests;

(d) Test involving changes in Grid System impedances; and

(e) Island Restoration Plan or Emergency Restoration Plan test.

OC11.2.2.7 The GSO shall have overall co-ordination of any System Test, using the
information provided to it under this OC11.2.2 and shall identify in its
reasonable estimations, which Users other than the Test Proposer or which
other Users not already identified by the Test Proposer, may be affected by the
System Test.

OC11.2.3 Pre-System Test Arrangements

Following receipt of the Test Proposal Notice, the GSO shall evaluate and
discuss the proposal with the affected identified Users.

OC11.2.3.1 The GSO shall arrange a meeting or meetings to discuss the following with the
Test Proposer and affected Users:

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 236 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

(a) the details of the nature and purpose of the proposed System Test and
other matters set out in the Test Proposal Notice (together with any further
information requested by the GSO under OC11.2.2;

(b) the economic, operational and risk implications of the proposed System
Test;

(c) the possibility of combining the proposed System Test with any other
tests and with Plant and/or Apparatus outages which arise pursuant to
the Operational Planning requirements of the GSO and Users; and

(d) implications of the proposed System Test on the Scheduling and Dispatch
of Power Station or Energy Storage Unit, in so far as it is able to do so.

OC11.2.3.2 Users identified by the GSO under MOC11.3 and the Test Proposer shall
provide to the GSO, upon written request, as many details as the GSO
reasonably requires in order to review the proposed System Test.

OC11.2.3.3 The number of meetings will be decided by the GSO as he deems necessary
to conduct the proposed System Test.

OC11.2.4 Test Programme

OC11.2.4.1 If the System Test is allowed to proceed, at least one (1) month prior to the date
of the proposed System Test, the Test Proposer will submit to the GSO and
each User identified by the GSO under MOC11.3, a proposed Test Programme
stating the procedure detailing the pre-requisites for the System Test, the
different steps for carrying out the System Test including the manner in which
it is to be monitored, a list of those staff involved in carrying out the System Test
(including those responsible for site safety) and such other matters as the GSO
deems appropriate. The proposed Test Programme shall be reviewed and
agreed by the GSO at least two (2) weeks prior to the date of the proposed
System Test.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 237 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Operating Code

OC11.2.4.2 The Test Programme will bind all recipients to act in accordance with the
provisions of the Test Programme in relation to the proposed System Test
subject to the following paragraph.

OC11.2.4.3 Any problems with the proposed System Test which arise or are anticipated
after the issue of the Test Programme and prior to the day of the proposed
System Test, must be notified to the GSO as soon as possible in writing. If the
GSO decides that these anticipated problems merit an amendment to, or
postponement of, the System Test, the GSO shall notify the Test Proposer (if
the Test Proposer is not the GSO) and each User identified accordingly under
MOC11.3 by the GSO.

OC11.2.4.4 If on the day of the proposed System Test, operating conditions on the Power
System are such that any party involved in the proposed System Test wishes
to delay or cancel the start or continuance of the System Test, they shall
immediately inform the GSO of this decision and the reasons for it. The GSO
shall then postpone or cancel, as the case may be, the System Test and shall,
if possible, agree another suitable time and date after discussion with the Test
Proposer (if the Test Proposer is not the GSO) and all Users identified by the
GSO under MOC11.3.

OC11.2.5 Post System Test Report

OC11.2.5.1 Preliminary Report of a System Test shall be submitted by the Test Proposer
within seventy-two (72) hours after the completion of the test and a Final Report
within sixty (60) days by the Test Proposer unless different periods have been

given MW output, in the form of the diagram illustrated in DRC8.1. The CCGT
Module Matrix is designed to achieve certainty by knowing the number of CCGT
Units to be synchronized to achieve a Dispatch Instruction.

SDC1.2.2.3 The other data may also include in the case of a Range CCGT Module, a
request for the Connection Point at which the power is provided from the Range
CCGT Module to be changed with effect from the beginning of the following

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 242 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

Schedule Day to another specified single Connection Point (there can be only
one) to that being used for the current Schedule Day. The Single Buyer will
respond to this request at the same time that it issues the Least Cost Unit
Schedule. If the Single Buyer agrees to the request (such Agreement not to be
unreasonably withheld), the Generator will operate the Range CCGT Module in
accordance with the request. If the Single Buyer does not agree, the Generator
will, if it produces power from that Range CCGT Module, continue to provide
power from the Range CCGT Module to the Connection Point being used at
the time of the request. The request can only be made up to 1000 hours in
respect of the following Schedule Day. No subsequent request to change can
be made after 1000 hours in respect of the following Schedule Day.

SDC1.2.2.4 The principles set out in DRC8.1 apply to the submission of a CCGT Module
Matrix and accordingly the CCGT Module Matrix can only be amended as
follows:

(a) Normal CCGT Module

if the CCGT Module is a Normal CCGT Module, the CCGT Units within
that CCGT Module can only be amended such that the CCGT Module
comprises different CCGT Units if the Single Buyer gives its prior
consent in writing and is also consistent with the relevant Agreement.
Notice of the wish to amend the CCGT Units within such a CCGT
Module must be given at least six (6) months before it is wished for the
amendment to take effect; or

(b) Range CCGT Module

if the CCGT Module is a Range CCGT Module, the CCGT Units within
that CCGT Module can only be amended such that the CCGT Module
comprises different CCGT Units for a particular Schedule Day if the
relevant notification is given by 1000 hours on the day prior to the
Schedule Day in which the amendment is to take effect. No
subsequent amendment may be made to the CCGT Units comprising
the CCGT Module in respect of that particular Schedule Day.

SDC1.2.2.5 In the absence of the submission of a CCGT Module Matrix, the last correctly
submitted CCGT Module Matrix shall be deemed the CCGT Module Matrix.

SDC1.2.2.6 In the case of a CCGT Module Matrix submitted or deemed to be submitted as

part of the other data for CCGT Modules, the output of the CCGT Module at
any given instructed MW output must reflect the details given in the CCGT
Module Matrix. It is accepted that in cases of change in MW in response to
Dispatch Instruction issued by the GSO there may be a transitional variance to
the conditions reflected in the CCGT Module Matrix. In achieving a Dispatch
Instruction, the range of number of CCGT Units envisaged in moving from one
MW output level to the other must not be departed from. Each Generator shall
notify the GSO as soon as practicable after the event of any such variance.

SDC1.2.2.7 Subject as provided above, the GSO will rely on the CCGT Units specified in
such Matrix running as indicated in the CCGT Module Matrix when it issues a
Dispatch Instruction in respect of the CCGT Module.

SDC1.2.2.8 Any changes to the CCGT Module Matrix must be notified immediately to the
Single Buyer in accordance with the provisions of SDC1 and relevant
Agreement. Such Availability Declaration will replace any previous Availability
Declaration covering any part of the next following Availability Declaration
Period.

SDC1.5.2 It should be noted that Demand Response in this SDC1 is for the purpose of
optimizing the total cost of Transmission Operation, and is not the same as
Demand Control where there is insufficient generation, as described in OC4. It
follows that, while the same Demand block may be offered for Demand Response
and available for Demand Control it cannot be utilized for both purposes
simultaneously and that the GSO may wish to retain for Demand Control any or
all Demand blocks offered for Demand Response. Demand blocks utilized for

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 257 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

Scheduling and Dispatch Code No.2 (SDC2): Control, Scheduling and Dispatch

SDC2.1 Introduction, objectives and scope

SDC2.1.1 fThe provisions of sections MSDC2.1, MSDC2.2 and MSDC2.3 of the Main Code
shall apply to this Scheduling and Dispatch Code No2: Control, Scheduling and
Dispatch.

SDC2.2 Procedure

SDC2.2.1 Information Used

SDC2.2.1.1 The information that the GSO shall use for dispatching Generators, Energy
Storage Operators and Aggregators will be:

(a) the Least Cost Unit Schedule;

(b) changes to any parameters used in the derivation of the Least Cost
Unit Schedule following preparation of the Least Cost Unit Schedule;

(c) the provision of Ancillary Services taking into account changes to any
parameters used in the derivation of the Least Cost Unit Schedule
following preparation of the Least Cost Unit Schedule; and

(d) Planned transfer levels across Interconnections.

For avoidance of doubt, generators participating in TPA are must run unit. GSO
shall have the right to instruct generators participating in TPA to reduce,
maintain or increase the output subject to declared ATC by GSO or system
condition.

SDC2.2.1.2 Subject as provided below, the factors used in the Dispatch phase in assessing
which units to Dispatch, in conjunction with the Least Cost Unit Schedule as
derived under SDC1, will be those used by the GSO to produce the Least Cost
Unit Schedule as may be required depending on the reasonable opinion of the
GSO in real time.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 258 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

SDC2.2.1.3 Additional factors that the GSO will, however, also take into account are the
actual performance in real time of Generators, Energy Storage Operators,
Aggregators, Externally Interconnected Parties and Network Operators, agreed
special actions (including Demand Control), actual network constraint in real
time and variation between forecast and actual demand as these will have an
effect on Dispatch.

SDC2.2.1.4 If two or more CDGUs, Energy Storage Unit, Aggregator have submitted
identical data in accordance with SDC1, GSO will select first for Dispatch the
one which in the GSO’s reasonable judgement is most appropriate taking into
account a possible reduction in transmission losses, higher system reliability
and enhanced fuel security.

SDC2.3 Optimization of Least Cost Unit Schedule

SDC2.3.1 The GSO will revise the Least Cost Unit Schedule to be as optimal as possible
when, in its reasonable judgement, a need arises. As it may be the case that no
notice will be given prior to this optimization it is a requirement that Generators,
Energy Storage Operators and Aggregators always inform the GSO of changes of
Availability Declarations and Unit Scheduling and Dispatch Parameters
immediately.

SDC2.4 Dispatch Instruction

SDC2.4.1 Issue and Variation

SDC2.4.1.1 Dispatch Instruction relating to the Schedule Day will normally be issued at any
time during the period beginning immediately after the issue of the Least Cost
Unit Schedule in respect of that Schedule Day.

Instruction, other than by electronic signals, which may be sent directly to the
Generating Modules, Energy Storage Operators and Aggregators will always
be sent to the User at the User's designated Control Room

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 259 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

SDC2.4.1.2 Dispatch Instruction will recognize the Declared Availability, Unit Scheduling
and Dispatch Parameters and Other Relevant Data supplied to the GSO under
SDC1 and any revisions under SDC1 or SDC2 to that data. A Dispatch
Instruction may be subsequently cancelled or varied, including an instruction
for a Cancelled Start.

SDC2.4.1.3 The GSO may issue Dispatch Instruction for any CDGU, Energy Storage Unit
or Aggregator for which an Availability Declaration (or revised Availability
Declaration) has been made in accordance with its Declared Availability as set
out in the original or a revised, as the case may be, Availability Declaration,
even if that CDGU, Energy Storage Unit or Aggregator was not included in the
Least Cost Unit Schedule. The GSO is entitled to assume that each CDGU,
Energy Storage Unit or Aggregator subject to the time dependent limitations on
availability, is available to the extent declared in the latest Availability
Declaration unless and until it is informed of any change.

SDC2.4.2 Scope of Dispatch Instruction for CDGUs

SDC2.4.2.1 In addition to instruction relating to Dispatch of Active Power, Dispatch
Instruction may include:

(a) Notice to Synchronize - notice and changes in notice to Synchronize

or De-Synchronize CDGUs in a specific timescale;

(b) Active Power Output;

(c) Ancillary Services, as defined in the related documents and the

relevant Agreement;

(d) Reactive Power - to ensure that a satisfactory System voltage profile

is maintained and that sufficient Reactive Power reserves are
maintained, Dispatch Instruction may include, in relation to Reactive
Power:

(i) MVAr Output - the individual MVAr output from the CDGU
onto the Grid System on the higher voltage side of the
generator step-up transformer.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 260 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

(ii) Target Voltage Levels - target voltage levels, which may be

controlled by AHVC, to be achieved by the CDGU on the Grid
System on the higher voltage side of the generator step-up
transformer or on selected adjacent buses. Where a CDGU
is instructed to a specific target voltage, the CDGU must
achieve that target within a tolerance of ±1 kV (or such other
figure as may be agreed with the GSO) by tap changing on
the generator or plant step-up transformer and/or adjusting
AVR/reactive power compensation devices output setpoint,
unless agreed otherwise with the GSO.

Under normal operating conditions, once this target voltage

level has been achieved, the CDGU will not tap or adjust
AVR/reactive power compensation devices output setpoint
again without prior consultation with, and with the Agreement
of the GSO.

However, under certain circumstances the CDGU may be

instructed to maintain a target voltage until otherwise
instructed and this will be achieved by tap changing on the
generator or plant step-up transformer and/or adjusting
AVR/reactive power compensation devices output without
reference to the GSO.

(iii) Tap Changes - details of the required generator step-up

transformer tap changes in relation to a CDGU. The
instruction for tap changes may be a Simultaneous Tap
Change instruction, whereby the tap change must be carried
out by the Generator in response to an instruction from the
GSO issued simultaneously to relevant Generators. The
instruction, which is normally preceded by advance notice,
must be carried out as soon as possible, and in any event
within one (1) minute of receipt of the GSO’s instruction.

(iv) Maximum MVAr Output ("maximum excitation") - under

certain conditions, such as low Grid System voltage, an
instruction to maximum MVAr output as defined by the
generator capability chart at instructed MW output

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 261 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

("maximum excitation") may be given, and a Generator

should take appropriate actions to maximise MVAr output
unless constrained by plant operational limits or safety
grounds (relating to personnel or plant).

(v) Maximum MVAr Absorption ("minimum excitation") - under

certain conditions, such as high System voltage, an
instruction to maximum MVAr absorption as defined by the
generator capability chart at instructed MW output ("minimum
excitation") may be given, and a Generator should take
appropriate actions to maximise MVAr absorption unless
constrained by plant operational limits or safety grounds
(relating to personnel or plant.

In addition:

(vi) the issue of Dispatch Instruction for Active Power at the

Connection Point will be made with due regard to any
resulting change in Reactive Power capability and may
include instruction for reduction in Active Power generation to
enable an increase in Reactive Power capability;

(vii) the excitation system, or equivalent control device in the case

of Power Park Module, unless otherwise agreed with the
GSO, must be operated only in its constant terminal voltage
mode of operation with VAR limiters in service, with any
constant Reactive Power output as control mode or constant
Power Factor output control mode always disabled, unless
agreed otherwise with the GSO. In the event of any change
in System voltage, a Generator must not take any action to
override the automatic MVAr response that is produced as a
result of constant terminal voltage mode of operation of the
automatic excitation control system unless instructed
otherwise by the GSO or unless immediate action is
necessary to comply with Stability Limits or unless
constrained by plant operational limits or safety grounds
(relating to personnel or plant);

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 262 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

(viii) a Dispatch Instruction relating to Reactive Power will be

implemented without delay and will be achieved not later than
two (2) minutes after the instruction time, or for longer period
of time as the GSO may instruct.

(ix) in circumstances where the GSO issues new instruction in

relation to more than one CDGU at the same Power Station
at the same time, tapping will be carried out by the Generator,
one tap at a time either alternately between (or in sequential
order, if more than two), or at the same time on, each CDGU;

(x) where the instruction require more than two taps per CDGU
and that means that the instruction cannot be achieved within
two (2) minutes of the instruction time (or such longer period
as the GSO may have instructed), the instruction must each
be achieved with the minimum of delay after the expiry of that
period;

(xi) on receiving a new MW Dispatch Instruction, no tap changing

shall be carried out to change the MVAr output unless there
is a new MVAr Dispatch Instruction;

(xii) where an instruction to Synchronize is given, or where a

CDGU is Synchronized and a MW Dispatch Instruction is
given, a MVAr Dispatch Instruction consistent with the
CDGU’s relevant parameters may be given. In the absence
of a MVAr Dispatch Instruction with an instruction to
Synchronize, the MVAr output should be 0 MVAr;

(xiii) where an instruction to De-Synchronize is given, a MVAr

Dispatch Instruction, compatible with shutdown, may be given
prior to De-Synchronization being achieved. In the absence
of a separate MVAr Dispatch Instruction, it is implicit in the
instruction to De-Synchronize that MVAr output should at the
point of synchronism be 0 MVAr at De-Synchronization.

(xiv) it should be noted that should Grid System conditions require,

the GSO may need to instruct maximum MVAr output to be
achieved as soon as possible, but (subject to the provisions

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 263 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

of paragraph (x) above) in any event no later than two (2)

minutes after the instruction is issued;

(xv) upon receipt of a Dispatch Instruction relating to Reactive

Power, the Generator may take what action as is necessary
to maintain the integrity of the CDGU (including, without
limitation, requesting a revised Dispatch Instruction), and
must contact the GSO without delay;

(e) Frequency Sensitive Mode - reference to any requirement for change

to or from Frequency Sensitive Mode for each CDGU as detailed in
SDC3;

(f) Additional Generation - a requirement to provide any Additional

Generation offered under the Scheduling process in SDC1;

(g) Future Dispatch Requirements - a reference to any implications for

future Dispatch requirements and the security of the Grid System,
including arrangements for change in output to meet post fault security
requirements;

(h) Intertrips - an instruction to switch into or out of service an Operational

Intertripping scheme;

(i) Special Protection Scheme - an instruction to switch into or out of

service a Special Protection Scheme;

(j) Abnormal Conditions - instruction relating to abnormal conditions,

such as adverse weather conditions, or high or low System voltage,
operation under System islanding conditions as referred to in OC7
which may mean that the Least Cost Unit Schedule is departed from
to a greater extent than usual. Revised operational data, replacing for
example the current Unit Scheduling and Dispatch Parameters with
revised parameters, may also apply pursuant to OC7;

(k) Tap Positions - a request for a CDGU step-up transformer tap position
(for security assessment);

(l) Tests - an instruction to carry out tests as required under OC10;

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 264 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

(m) Synchronous condenser mode – operation of a synchronized hydro

unit and providing no power into the Grid System, in accordance with
CC6.4.17.1.

SDC2.4.2.2 Dispatch Instruction will indicate the target MW (at Target Frequency) to be
provided at the Connection Point, and to be achieved in accordance with the
respective CDGU’s Unit Scheduling and Dispatch Parameters given under or
as revised in accordance with SDC1 or SDC2, or such rate within those
Parameters as is specified by the GSO in the Dispatch Instruction. The form of
and terms to be used by the GSO in issuing instruction together with their
meanings are set out in Appendix 1 in the form of a non-exhaustive list of
examples.

SDC2.4.2.3 Dispatch Instruction will be given by telephone and will include an exchange of
operator names or by automatic logging device or by electronic instruction.

SDC2.4.2.4 They must be formally acknowledged immediately by the Generator for the
Power Station of that CDGU by telephone or automatic logging device or by
such electronic data transmission facilities agreed upon with the GSO. With
regards to non-acceptance of the instruction, there must be a reason given
immediately, which may relate only to safety grounds (personnel or plant) or
because they are not in accordance with the applicable Declared Availability,
Unit Scheduling and Dispatch Parameters or Generation Other Relevant Data.

SDC2.4.2.5 Each Generator will comply with all Dispatch Instruction properly given by the
GSO unless the Generator has given notice to the GSO regarding non-
acceptance of Dispatch Instruction.

SDC2.4.2.6 In the event that in carrying out the Dispatch Instruction, an unforeseen problem
arises, caused on safety grounds (relating to personnel or plant), the GSO must
be notified without delay by telephone.

SDC2.4.2.7 Dispatch Instruction will be in accordance with Unit Scheduling and Dispatch
Parameters and Generation Other Relevant Data registered under SDC1 or as
amended under SDC1 or SDC2.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 265 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

SDC2.4.2.8 Generators will respond to Dispatch Instruction properly given by the GSO with
no more than the delay, as defined by the response times set out below
provided that in the case of Emergency Instruction issued pursuant to SDC2.5
the obligation of the Generator shall be only to use all reasonable endeavors to
so respond.

SDC2.4.2.9 Generators will only Synchronize or De-Synchronize CDGUs to the Dispatch

Instruction of the GSO or unless that occurs automatically as a result of
intertrip/interstart schemes or Low Frequency Relay operations. De-
Synchronization may take place without prior agreement of the GSO if it is done
purely on safety grounds (relating to personnel or plant). If that happens the
GSO must be informed immediately that it has taken place.

SDC2.4.2.10 The GSO may suspend the issue of Dispatch Instruction in accordance with the
Least Cost Unit Schedule to the extent that reports or data via the SCADA
system that indicates a Partial Blackout or Total Blackout may be imminent or
exists. When necessary the GSO will issue instruction for a Black Start.

SDC2.4.2.11 Each Generator in respect of any of its Power Station will without delay notify
the GSO by telephone or by such electronic data transmission facilities agreed
upon with the GSO of any change or loss (temporary or otherwise) to the
operational capability including any changes to the Unit Scheduling and
Dispatch Parameters or Generation Other Relevant Data supplied under SDC1
(and any revisions under SDC1 and SDC2 to the data) of each CDGU.

SDC2.4.2.12 If, for any reason, including a change of Declared Availability or Unit Scheduling
and Dispatch Parameters made by the Generator or the submission of
Generation Other Relevant Data, the prevailing Dispatch Instruction for any
CDGU is no longer within the applicable Declared Availability, Unit Scheduling
and Dispatch Parameters, or Generation Other Relevant Data then:

(a) the Generator will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that a revised
Dispatch Instruction be given by the GSO such that the new Dispatch
Instruction is within the now applicable Declared Availability and/or

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 266 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

Unit Scheduling and Dispatch Parameters and/or Generation Other

Relevant Data; and

(b) if the GSO fails to issue such a new Dispatch Instruction within a
reasonable time then the relevant Generator shall be entitled to
change the operation of such CDGU to bring its operation within the
applicable Declared Availability and/or Unit Scheduling and Dispatch
Parameters and/or Generation Other Relevant Data until the GSO
issues a new Dispatch Instruction within the applicable Declared
Availability and/or Unit Scheduling and Dispatch Parameters and/or
Generation Other Relevant Data. Prior to making such a change in
operation, the Generator will use reasonable endeavours to advise the
GSO by telephone and then confirmed by emails or by such electronic
data transmission facilities agreed upon with the GSO of its intended
action and its timing. The confirmation must be sent as soon as
possible after the telephone call, but in the event that it is not possible
to send it prior to the change of operation being carried out, the change
may be effected prior to the notification. Any change in operation
should be of the minimum necessary to remain within the applicable
Declared Availability and/or Unit Scheduling and Dispatch Parameters
and/or Generation Other Relevant Data.

SDC2.4.2.13 A Generator may request agreement of the GSO for one of the CDGUs to be
operated under a risk of a trip. The agreement will be dependent on the risk to
the Grid System that a trip of the CDGU would constitute.

SDC2.4.2.14 Each Generator will operate its Synchronized CDGUs with AVRs in constant
terminal voltage mode with VAR limiters in service at all times. AVR constant
Reactive Power or power factor mode should, if installed, be disabled, and its
generator step-up transformer tap changer selected to manual mode unless
released from this obligation in respect of a particular CDGU by the GSO.
Where a power system stabilizer is fitted as part of an excitation system of a
CDGU, it requires on-load commissioning which must be witnessed by the
GSO. Only when the performance of the power system stabilizer has been
approved by the GSO shall it be switched into service by a Generator and then
it will be kept in service at all times unless otherwise agreed with the GSO.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 267 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

SDC2.4.2.15 A Generator may request agreement from the GSO for one of its CDGUs to be
operated with the AVR in manual mode, or power system stabilizer switched
out, or VAR limiter switched out. The agreement of the GSO will be dependent
on the risk that would be imposed on the Grid System and any User System.

SDC2.4.2.16 Dispatch Instruction may be given by telephone, or electronic message from

the GSO or by such electronic data transmission facilities agreed upon with the
GSO. Instruction will require formal acknowledgement from the Generator and
will be recorded by the GSO in a written Dispatch log with the exception of the
SCADA set point instruction. When appropriate electronic means are available,
Dispatch Instruction shall be confirmed electronically. Generators shall also
record all manual Dispatch Instruction in a written Dispatch log.

SDC2.4.2.17 Such dispatch logs and any other available forms of archived Instruction, for
example, telephone recordings, shall be provided to the investigation team of
the Commission when required. Otherwise, written records shall be kept by all
parties for a period not less than five (5) years or as required by the relevant
Agreement and voice recordings for a period not less than three (3) years.

SDC2.4.2.18 If, at any time, the GSO determines after consultations with the Generators that:

(a) continued synchronized operation of the generating facility may

endanger the Grid System personnel;

(b) continued synchronized operation of the generating facility may

endanger the Grid System integrity;

(c) continued synchronized operation of the generating facility may

prevent maintenance of the Grid System's facilities; or

(d) the Generator's protective apparatus is not fully in service,

the GSO will have the right to disconnect the generation facility from the Grid
System. The generating facility will remain disconnected until the GSO is
satisfied that the condition(s) above has been corrected. The GSO shall also

discrete blocks made available for control and the notice required for each
discrete MW block to be switched out and subsequently switched back in. A
Dispatch Instruction may be subsequently cancelled or varied.

SDC2.4.3.3 The GSO will issue instruction directly to the Network Operator, Distributor, or
Grid Connected Customer, as the case may be, for the Dispatch of each
demand block available for control. The GSO is entitled to assume that each
demand block available for control, subject to the time dependent limitations on
availability, is available to the extent declared in the latest Availability
Declaration unless and until it is informed of any change.

SDC2.4.3.4 Dispatch Instruction will include MW blocks to be controlled, times to be

switched and whether the switching is for Demand Response as defined in
SDC1.4 or Demand Control as defined in OC4. Grid Connected Customers
shall respond to Dispatch Instruction without delay unless constrained by plant
operational limits or safety grounds (relating to personnel or plant).

Scheduling and Dispatch Code 2 - Appendix 1

SDC2A.1 Dispatch Instruction – Loading and Synchronizing

SDC2A.1.1 Form of Dispatch Instruction

SDC2A.1.1.1 All loading/de-loading rates will be assumed to be in accordance with Unit

Scheduling and Dispatch Parameters. Each instruction will, wherever possible,
be kept simple, drawing as necessary from the following forms.

SDC2A.1.1.2 The Dispatch Instruction will normally follow the form:

(a) an exchange of operator names;

(b) the specific CDGU to which the instruction applies;

(c) the output to which it is instructed;

(d) if the start time is different from the time the instruction is issued, the
start time will be included;

(e) where specific loading/de-loading rates are concerned, a specific

target time; and

(f) the issue time of the instruction.

SDC2A.1.2 Dispatching a Synchronized CDGU to increase or decrease output

SDC2A.1.2.1 If the time of the instruction is 1400 hours, the Unit is Unit 1 and the output to
be achieved is 460MW, the relevant part of the instruction would be, for
example: "Unit 1 to 460MW instruction timed at 1400”.

SDC2A.1.2.2 If the start time is 1415 hours, it would be, for example: "Unit 1 (or Module 1) to
460MW start at 1415 hours instruction timed at 1400”.

SDC2A.1.2.3 Loading and de-loading rates are assumed to be in accordance with Unit
Scheduling and Dispatch Parameters unless otherwise stated. If different
loading or de-loading rates are required, the time to be achieved will be stated,

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 273 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

for example: "Unit 1 (or Module 1) to 460MW at 1420 hours target time
instruction timed at 1400”.

SDC2A.1.3 CDGU Synchronizing

SDC2A.1.3.1 For CDGUs the instruction issue time will always have due regard for the time
of Notice to synchronize declared to the GSO in the relevant Agreement the
Generator.

SDC2A.1.3.2 The instruction will follow the form, for example: “Unit 1 synchronize at 1600
hours (and other units in sequence when scheduled) instruction timed at 1300
hours”.

SDC2A.1.3.3 Unless a loading programme is also given at the same time it will be assumed
that the CDGUs are to be brought to Minimum Generation and (at the point of
synchronism) 0 MVAr output, and on the Generator reporting that the Unit has
Synchronized a further Dispatch Instruction will be issued.

SDC2A.1.3.4 When a Dispatch Instruction for a CDGU to Synchronize is cancelled before the
Unit is Synchronized, the instruction will follow the form, for example: “Unit 1
(or Module 1), cancel Synchronizing instruction, instruction timed at 1400
hours”.

SDC2A.1.4 CDGU De-Synchronizing

SDC2A.1.4.1 The instruction will normally follow the form, for example: “Unit 1 Shutdown
instruction timed at 1300 hours”.

SDC2A.1.4.2 If the instruction start time is for 1400 hours the form will be, for example: “Unit
1 Shutdown start at 1400 hours, instruction timed at 1300 hours (and other
Units in sequence)”.

SDC2A.1.4.3 Both of the above assume a de-loading rate at declared Unit Scheduling and
Dispatch Parameters. Otherwise the message will conclude with, for example:
"... and De-Synchronize at 1500 hours”.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 274 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

SDC2A.1.4.4 Unless a separate MVAr Dispatch Instruction is given, it will be assumed that
the CDGU will be brought to 0 MVAr (at the point of synchronism) at De-
Synchronization.

SDC2A.2 Dispatch Instruction – Loading and Synchronizing

SDC2A.2.1 Frequency Control

SDC2A.2.1.1 Grid System Frequency control is normally achieved by providing an AGC

signal to each CDGU. All the above Dispatch will be deemed to be at the Target
Frequency as transmitted by the AGC.

SDC2A.2.1.2 Where a CDGU cannot be instructed by an AGC signal, for whatever reason,
and the CDGU is in the Frequency Sensitive Mode Instruction refer to target
output at Target Frequency. In this instance Target Frequency changes will
always be given to the Generator by facsimile or by such electronic data
transmission facilities as have been agreed with the GSO and will normally only
be 49.95, 50.00, or 50.05Hz but in exceptional circumstances as determined
by the GSO in its reasonable opinion, may be 49.90 or 50.10Hz.

SDC2A.2.1.3 CDGUs required to operate in Frequency Sensitive Mode will be specifically

instructed to operate so as to provide Primary Response and/or Secondary
Response and/or High Frequency Response. The instruction will be of the form,
for example: “Unit 1 (or Module 1) to 450 MW Primary and High Frequency
Response instruction timed at 2100 hours”.

SDC2A.2.1.4 Frequency control instruction may be issued in conjunction with, or separate

from, a Dispatch Instruction for ordinary Active Power output.

SDC2A.2.2 Voltage Control

SDC2A.2.2.1 In order for adequate System voltage profiles and Reactive Power reserves to
be maintained under normal and fault conditions a range of voltage control
instruction will be utilized from time to time, for example:

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 275 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

(a) Increase/decrease Reactive Power to 100 MVAr export or import;

(b) Maximum MVAr output (or "maximum excitation");

(c) Maximum MVAr absorption (or "minimum excitation”);

(d) Increase CDGU step-up transformer tap position by [one] tap or go to

tap position [x]; or

(e) For a Simultaneous Tap Change, change CDGU generator step-up

transformer tap position by one [two] taps to raise or lower (as
relevant) System voltage, to be executed at time of telegraph (or other)
instruction;

(f) Achieve a target voltage of 280kV and then allow to vary with System
conditions; or

(g) Maintain a target voltage of 280kV until otherwise instructed. Tap

change as necessary.

SDC2A.2.2.2 In relation to MVAr Dispatch matters, MVAr generation/output is an export onto

the System and is referred to as "lagging MVAr", and MVAr absorption is an
import from the System and is referred to as "leading MVAr”.

SDC2A.2.2.3 It should be noted that the excitation control system constant Reactive Power
output control mode or constant power factor output control mode will always
be disabled, unless agreed otherwise with the GSO.

SDC2A.3 Dispatch Instruction – Other Factors

SDC2A.3.1 Additional Generation/ Cancel Additional Gen

SDC2A.3.1.1 The instruction will be by facsimile instruction or if not available will be given by
telephone or by such electronic data transmission facilities agreed upon with
the GSO and will normally follow the form, for example: “Unit 1 instruct
Additional Gen (or cancel Additional Gen), instruction timed at 1800 hours”.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 276 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

SDC2A.3.2 Black Start

SDC2A.3.2.1 The instruction will normally follow the form, for example: “Initiate Black Start
procedure, instruction timed at 1900 hours”.

SDC2A.3.3 Emergency Instruction

SDC2A.3.3.1 The instruction will be prefixed with the words "This is an Emergency
Instruction”. It may be in a pre-arranged format and will normally follow the
form, for example: “This is an Emergency Instruction. Reduce output to ‘X’ MW
in ‘Y’ minutes, instruction timed at 2000 hours”.

Scheduling and Dispatch Code No.3 (SDC3): Frequency and Interconnection Transfer
Control

SDC3.1 Introduction, Objectives and Scope

SDC3.1.1 The provisions of sections MSDC3.1, MSDC3.2 and MSDC3.3 of the Main Code
shall apply to this Scheduling and Dispatch Code No3: Frequency and
Interconnection Transfer Control.

SDC3.2 Response from Power Station

SDC3.2.1 Each Generating Module, in accordance with its Ancillary Services requirements
as defined in the Connection Code, the documents for Ancillary Services and the
relevant agreement should at all times have the capability to operate automatically
so as to provide response to changes in Frequency in order to contribute to
containing and correcting the System Frequency within the statutory requirements
of Frequency control.

SDC3.2.2 Each Generating Module producing Active Power, and able to do so, must operate
at all times in a Frequency Sensitive Mode.

SDC3.2.3 The GSO may issue an instruction to a Generating Module to operate so as to

provide Primary Response and/or Secondary Response and/or High Frequency
Response. When so instructed, the Generating Module must operate in
accordance with the instruction.

SDC3.2.4 Frequency Sensitive Mode is the generic description for a Generating Module
operating in accordance with an instruction to operate so as to provide Primary
Response and/or Secondary Response and/or High Frequency Response. Such
instruction will continue until countermanded by the GSO or until the Generating
Module is De-Synchronized, whichever is the first to occur.

instruct the Low Frequency Relay initiated response to be placed in or out of
service.

SDC3.3.3 Users will comply with the Instruction of the GSO for Low Frequency Relay settings
and Low Frequency Relay initiated Demand Control to be placed in or out of
service. Users shall not alter such Low Frequency Relay settings or take Low
Frequency Relay initiated response out of service without agreement of the GSO,
except for safety reasons. If the User takes the Low Frequency initiated Demand
Control facility out of service without the permission of the GSO that User must
inform the GSO immediately.

SDC3.4 Response to High Frequency Required from Synchronized Plant

SDC3.4.1 Each Generating Unit in respect of which the Generator has been instructed to
operate to provide High Frequency Response, producing Active Power and
operating above Designed Minimum Operating Level, is required to reduce Active
Power output in response to an increase in System Frequency above the Target
Frequency.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 279 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

SDC3.4.2 The rate of change of Active Power output with respect to Frequency up to 50.5
Hz shall be in accordance with the provisions from the relevant Agreement
between the GSO and each Generator. The reduction in Active Power output by
the amount provided for in the relevant Agreement between the GSO and the
Generator must be fully achieved within ten (10) seconds of the time of the
Frequency increase and must be sustained at no lesser reduction thereafter. It is
accepted that the reduction in Active Power output may not be to below the
Minimum Generation.

SDC3.4.3 In addition to the High Frequency Response provided, the Generating Unit must
continue to reduce Active Power output in response to an increase in System
Frequency to 50.5 Hz or above at a minimum rate of 2 per cent (%) of output per
0.1 Hz deviation of System Frequency above that level, such reduction to be
achieved within five (5) minutes of the rise to or above 50.5 Hz.

SDC3.5 Plant Operating Below Minimum Generation

SDC3.5.1 Steady state operation below Minimum Generation is not expected but if System
operating conditions cause operation below Minimum Generation which gives rise
to operational difficulties for the Generating Unit, then the GSO should not, upon
request, unreasonably withhold a Dispatch Instruction to return the Generating
Unit to an output not less than Minimum Generation.

SDC3.5.2 It is possible that Synchronized Generating Modules which have responded as

required under SDC3.4 to an excess of System Frequency, as therein described,
will (if the output reduction is large or if the Generating Module output has reduced
to below the Minimum Generation) trip after a time. All reasonable efforts should
in the event be made by the Generator to avoid such tripping, provided that the
System Frequency is below 52Hz.

SDC3.5.3 If the System Frequency is at or above 52Hz for a duration above the relay settings
defined in CC6.4.9.2, the requirement to make all reasonable efforts to avoid
tripping does not apply and the Generator is required to take action to protect the
Power Station.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 280 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

SDC3.5.4 In the event of the System Frequency becoming stable above 50.5Hz, after all
Power Station action as specified in SDC3.4 has taken place, the GSO will issue
appropriate Dispatch Instruction, which may include instruction to trip Generating
Modules so that the Frequency returns to below 50.5Hz and ultimately to Target
Frequency.

SDC3.5.5 If the System Frequency has become stable above 52 Hz, after all Power Station
action as specified in SDC3.5.2 and SDC3.5.3 has taken place, the GSO will issue
Dispatch Instruction to trip appropriate Generating Modules to bring the System
Frequency to below 52Hz and follow this with appropriate Dispatch Instruction to
return the System Frequency to below 50.5 Hz and ultimately to Target Frequency.

SDC3.6 General Issues

SDC3.6.1 The Generator will not be in default of any existing Dispatch Instruction if it is
following the provisions of SDC3.2, SDC3.4 or SDC3.5.

SDC3.6.2 In order for the GSO to be able to deal with the emergency conditions effectively,
it needs as much up to date information as possible. Accordingly the GSO must
be informed of the action taken in accordance with SDC3.4 as soon as possible
and in any event within five (5) minutes of the rise in System Frequency, directly
by telephone from the Power Station.

SDC3.6.3 The GSO will use reasonable endeavors to ensure that, if System Frequency rises
above 50.4Hz, and an Externally Interconnected Party is transferring Power into
the Grid System, the amount of Power transferred into the Grid System from the
System of that Externally Interconnected Party is reduced at a rate equivalent to
(or greater than) that which applies for Generating Modules operating in
Frequency Sensitive Mode which are producing Active Power. This will be done
either by utilizing existing arrangements which are designed to achieve this, or by
issuing Dispatch Instruction under SDC2.

 Scheduling and Dispatch Code

SDC3.7 Frequency

SDC3.7.1 Frequency Control

SDC3.7.1.1 The GSO will endeavor (in so far as it is able) to control the system frequency
within the statutory limits of 49.5Hz and 50.5Hz by specifying changes to Target
Frequency and by Generation Dispatch.

SDC3.8 Interconnection Transfer Control - Externally Interconnected Party

SDC3.8.1 Any mutually agreed transfer of Power and/or Energy shall remain at the agreed
transfer level when System Frequency is between 49.5Hz and 50.5Hz.

SDC3.8.2 If the frequency falls below 49.5Hz power transfers from the Grid System into an
Externally Interconnected Party will be reduced to zero as soon as it is reasonably
practical. In any case it must be accepted that at or below this frequency an
Externally Interconnected Party may have disconnected the connection for
preservation of its own system. The GSO must be aware of this possibility and
plan Target Frequency and Generation Dispatch accordingly. The reduction of the
transfer when the frequency is below 49.5 Hz, must be in accordance with the
relevant TPA agreements.

Data Registration Code (DRC)

DRC.1 Preamble

DRC.1.1 The Grid Code is a code developed and issued by the Commission. The Grid Code
is composed by a Main Code, containing the main provisions structuring the
purpose, the scope, the governance and some general requirements, and by
additional codes, containing the specific technical rules for different subjects
related to the operation of the Grid system.

DRC.1.2 According to section 50A of the Electricity Supply Act 1990 [Act 447], the
Commission may develop and issue such additional codes as it deems fit and
expedient or the Minister may direct from time to time, as the case may be.

DRC.2 Amendment

DRC.2.1 The Commission may at any time amend, modify, vary or revoke this Code or any
part thereof.

DRC.3 Introduction, Objectives and Scope

DRC.3.1 The provisions of sections MDRC1.1, MDRC1.2 and MDRC1.3 of the Main Code
shall apply to this Data Registration Code.

DRC.4 Data categories and stages in Registration (Planning and Operational Data)

DRC.4.1 Within the DRC each data item is allocated to one of the following categories and
stages for the Planning Data category:

(a) Planning Data:

(i) Preliminary Project Data (PPD);

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 283 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Data Registration Code

(ii) Committed Project Data (CPD);

Contracted Project Data (TPD);

(b) Operational Data.

DRC.4.2 Preliminary Project Data is the Standard Planning Data provided by Users or
intended Users to the Grid Owner based on which the Grid Owner will make an
offer of physical connection.

DRC.4.3 Committed Project Data is the Standard Planning Data and Detailed Planning Data
supplied by Users to the Grid Owner, GSO and Single Buyer, or the GSO and Grid
Owner to Users, to enable System planning and operation to be carried out by the
Grid Owner, GSO and Users.

DRC.4.4 Contracted Project Data is Standard Planning Data and Detailed Planning Data
required by the Grid Owner, GSO and Single Buyer so that it can develop detailed
models of the System and is expected to be an accurate description of User’s
Plant and Apparatus. This is entered into the project database as Registered Data
or Estimated Registered Data.

DRC.4.5 Operational Data is data which is required by the Operating Codes and the
Scheduling and Dispatch Codes and includes Demand forecast data.

DRC.4.6 Data listed in the schedules attached to this DRC within the category of Preliminary
Project Data will also be required as Committed Project Data, Contracted Project
Data and Registered Planning Data. Data listed in the schedules attached to this
DRC within the category of Contracted Project Data will also be required as
Registered Planning Data.

DRC.4.7 Standard Planning Data is the first to be provided by a User at the time of an
application for a relevant Agreement. It comprises data which is expected normally
to be sufficient for the Grid Owner and GSO to investigate the impact on the Grid
System of any User Development associated with an application by the User.

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 284 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Data Registration Code

DRC.4.8 Detailed Planning Data is usually the first set of data to be provided by the User
within twenty-eight (28) days (or such longer period as the Grid Owner may agree
in any particular case) of the offer for a physical connection, being accepted by the
User. It comprises additional, more detailed, data. Users should note that,
although not needed within twenty-eight (28) days of the offer, the term Detailed
Planning Data also includes Operation Diagrams and Site Common Drawings
produced in accordance with the Connection Code. The User may, however, be
required by the GSO to provide the Detailed Planning Data in advance of the
normal timescale before the Grid Owner can make an offer for physical
connection.

DRC.4.9 In DRC, Year 0 means the current year at any time, Year 1 means the next year
at any time, Year N+1 means the year after Year N. Each year will be considered
to start on the 1st of January.

DRC.5 Connection Process and Information Exchange

DRC.5.1 In accordance with the provisions of the various sections of the Grid Code, each
User must submit data as listed and collated in DRC7 and DRC8. Each User is
responsible of validating the data before submittal.

DRC.5.2 The responsible parties for the data and the recipients of the data are stated in
DRC7 and DRC8 for each DRC schedule. The responsible entity defines the
standard format for data submission and the means of communication. The use of
online platforms as a means of communication should be encouraged to allow
secured access, automated processing, data validation mechanisms (data type,
min/max values, etc) and proper traceability of data exchanges.

DRC.5.3 The recipients of the data should store the data in a referential database. The
referential database should ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability.

DRC.6 Confidentiality of Data and Requirement to Provide Appropriate Data

DRC.6.1 Users, Grid Owner and the GSO are obliged to supply data as set out in the
individual sections of the Grid Code and repeated in the DRC. If a User fails to
supply data when required by any section of the Grid Code, the Grid Owner and
GSO will estimate such data if and when, in the view of the Grid Owner and GSO,
it is necessary to do so. If the Grid Owner and GSO fail to supply data when
required by any section of the Grid Code, the User to whom that data ought to
have been supplied will estimate such data if and when, in that User's view, it is
necessary to do so. Such estimates will, in each case, be based upon data
supplied previously for the same Plant or Apparatus or upon corresponding data
for similar Plant or Apparatus or upon such other information as the Grid Owner
and GSO or that User deems appropriate.

DRC.6.2 The Grid Owner and GSO will advise a User in writing of any estimated data it
intends to use relating directly to that User's Plant or Apparatus in the event of
data not being supplied.

DRC.6.3 It is the responsibility of the recipient of any item of data to ensure that each item
of data remains confidential and is not made available to any third party.

All Demand data should be net of the output (as reasonably considered appropriate by the User) of all Embedded Power Station. Auxiliary
demand of Embedded Power Stations should not be included in the demand data submitted by the User. Users should refer to the PC for
a complete definition of the Demand to be included. The data to be supplied by each Distributor or Network Operator will include, if any
exists, Demand being (or to be) met by other Distributors or Network Operators supplying Customers in the User System together with
Active Energy requirements relating thereto. Accordingly, if a Distributor or Network Operator receives forecast data from another Distributor
or Network Operator and intends to use that data in preparing data to be supplied to the Grid Owner, Single Buyer and GSO, each Distributor

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 323 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Data Registration Code

or Network Operator must ensure that the Demand and Active Energy requirements forecasts provided by those Distributors or Network
Operators are prepared in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice.

3. Peak Demands should relate to each Connection Point individually and should provide the maximum demand that in the User's opinion
could reasonably be imposed on the Grid System. Where the busbars on a Connection Point are expected to be run in separate sections
separate Demand data should be supplied for each such section of busbar.

In deriving Demands any deduction made by the User (as detailed in note 2 above) to allow for Embedded Power Station is to be specifically
stated as indicated on the Schedule.

4. The GSO may at its discretion require details of any Embedded Power Station whose output can be expected to vary in a random manner
(e.g. wind power) or according to some other pattern (e.g. tidal power).

5. Where more than 95% of the total Demand at a Connection Point is taken by synchronous motors, values of the Power Factor at maximum
and minimum continuous excitation may be given instead.

6. Power Factor data should allow for series reactive losses on the User's System but should exclude reactive compensation specified
separately, and any network susceptance should be provided separately.

7. Data being supplied on a half hourly basis refer to it being supplied for each period of thirty (30) minutes ending on the hour or half-hour in
each hour.

8. In assembling its Demand and Active Energy requirements forecast, each Distributor or Network Operator must endeavour to avoid
duplication between the Demand together with Active Energy requirements relating thereto being and to be met by each of the Distributors
or Network Operators supplying Customers in the User System. Therefore, in formulating its Demand and Active Energy requirements
forecast, each Distributor or Network Operator will only include in the Demand it expects to be met together with Active Energy requirements
relating thereto:

(a) that Demand together with Active Energy requirements relating thereto in respect of which there is a contractual arrangement to meet
(whether or not that Demand and those Active Energy requirements exist at the date of the forecast);

(b) any anticipated development in Demand and Active Energy requirements relating to that contractual arrangement

(c) any anticipated development in Demand and Active Energy requirements relating to Customers generally (whether or not a
contractual arrangement then exists); and

(d) where a contractual arrangement exists, or where a person is anticipated to be a Customer, for only a portion of the period for which
data is required, will include an assumption for the remainder of that period (which will be identified as an assumption in the data
submission) unless it is aware that that Demand will be met by other Users acting as Suppliers, which will be reflected in any event
in its Demand and Active energy requirements forecast.

The Demand and Active Energy requirements forecast may include specific reservations on particular aspects of the forecast.

9. No later than by the end of January each year the Single Buyer shall notify each Distributor or Network Operator and Grid Connected
Customer in writing of the following, for the current year and for each of the following ten (10) year, which will, until replaced by the following

DRC.7.11.3 The Schedule is applicable to the Grid Owner:

DRC.7.11.4 The Data shall be submitted annually in December.

DRC.7.11.5 The Network Data shall contain:

(a) symmetrical three-phase short circuit current infeed at the instant of

fault from the Grid System, (I1");

(b) symmetrical three-phase short circuit current from the Grid System
after the sub transient fault current contribution has substantially
decayed, (I1');

(c) the zero-sequence source resistance and reactance values at the

Point of Connection, consistent with the maximum infeed below;

(d) the pre-fault voltage magnitude at which the maximum fault currents
were calculated;

(e) the positive sequence X/R ratio at the instant of fault;

Grid Code for Peninsular Malaysia – Additional Code 344 KOD/ST/No.9/2025

 Data Registration Code

DRC.7.11.6 To enable the model to be constructed, the Grid Owner shall provide data
based on the following conditions:

(a) The initial symmetrical three phase short circuit current and the
transient period three phase short circuit current will normally be
derived from the fixed impedance studies. The latter value should be
taken as applying at times of 120ms and longer. Shorter values may
be interpolated using a value for the sub transient time constant of
40ms. These fault currents will be obtained from a full System study
based on load flow analysis that takes into account any existing flow
across the point of connection being considered.

(b) Since the equivalent will be produced for the 500kV or 275kV parts of
the Grid System, the Grid Owner will provide the appropriate supergrid
transformer data.

(c) The positive sequence X/R ratio and the zero sequence impedance
value will correspond to the Grid Owner source network only, that is
with the section of network if any with which the equivalent is to be
used excluded. These impedance values will be derived from the
condition when all Generating Units are Synchronized to the Grid
System or a User's System and will take account of active sources
only including any contribution from the load to the fault current. The
passive component of the load itself or other system shunt
impedances should not be included.

(d) A User may at any time, in writing, specifically request for an

equivalent to be prepared for an alternative System condition, for
example where the User's System peak does not correspond to the
Grid System peak, and the Grid Owner will, insofar as such request is
reasonable, provide the information as soon as reasonably practicable
following the request.

DRC.7.12 Additional Planning Data requirements

DRC.7.12.1 Notwithstanding the Standard Planning Data and Detailed Planning Data set
