Abstract :
Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) to provide electricity supply in Peninsular Malaysia and was established in 1990. It involved in the generation, transmission, distribution and electricity in Peninsular Malaysia. This study is aimed at studying and determining the optimum route of transmission line using AHP and GIS. Kajang District in Selangor was selected as a study site. Transmission line routing involves a variety of criteria for determine of the suitable route. Alternative routes that balance community input with the most convincing environmental impact, build ability, the use of current and future land, project costs and the needs of a particular electrical system. Four phases of route selection for a transmission line such as Macro Corridor study area, Alternative corridors, Alternative Route, and Preferred Route.
