Malaysia’s utility firm Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) said Thursday it will continue to focus on strengthening grid resilience, expanding renewable energy capacity, advancing regional energy connectivity and enabling the growth of new industries, including the digital and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven economy.
The firm said in a statement that it remains steadfast in its purpose to provide reliable energy, drive sustainable progress and contribute meaningfully towards building a
brighter future for Malaysia.
According to the statement, the firm has intensified efforts in renewable energy integration, grid digitalization and carbon management to strengthen national energy security and enable economic growth throughout 2025.
As Malaysia accelerates efforts under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), it said the firm continues to play a central role in supporting the country’s aspirations towards a sustainable, inclusive and low-carbon energy future.
Last year, TNB advanced several NETR aligned initiatives, including utility-scale solar developments, hybrid renewable solutions and low-carbon technologies.
Among the key milestones was the signing of 785-megawatt peak (MWp) Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) agreement to support data center operations with green energy supply.
The group also progressed hybrid hydro-floating solar developments at Kenyir, Terengganu, alongside green hydrogen initiatives at the Jimah East Power Plant in Negeri Sembilan, further reinforcing its position in emerging low-carbon value chains and supporting Malaysia’s broader decarbonization agenda.
“As the country’s leading utility provider, TNB plays an important role in supporting Malaysia’s energy transition journey that is balanced, responsible and inclusive,
“Our focus remains on ensuring energy security, accelerating energy transition efforts and strengthening the resilience of our grid, all while continuing to create sustainable values for our shareholders as well as the Malaysians,” TNB Chairman Abdul Razak Abdul Majid said.
As part of its commitment to enhancing service reliability, TNB invested MYR 15.7 billion ($3.96 billion) in capital expenditure in 2025, an increase from MYR 11.2 billion ($2.82 billion) in 2024.
Of the total investment, MYR 12 billion ($3.02 billion) was allocated towards grid modernization initiatives, aimed at maintaining supply stability, supporting renewable energy integration and meeting growing electricity demand.
“Our grid investments are increasingly important as Malaysia experiences electricity demand driven by industrial electrification, digitalization, electric mobility and data center growth,” TNB President/Chief Executive Officer Ts. Shamsul Ahmad said.
