TNB has entered into a strategic partnership with Gamuda Land, to build two Electron Stations for electric vehicle charging at the developer’s projects in Selangor.
The first Electron Stations will be at Gamuda Cove in Southern Klang Valley and Gamuda Gardens in Northern Klang Valley. Both stations will cater to motorists by 2025 and look to accelerate the development of the ecosystem and infrastructure for electric Vehicles (EV) in the country and will also be featured with rooftop solar panels that will help offset electricity from the grid.
These electric charging stations will be compatible with all vehicle-makes ranging from hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully EVs and include both AC and DC fast chargers. Just like conventional petrol stations, the Electron Stations will include a host of services such as food and beverage outlets, convenience stores, and more.
Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan said the MoU would pave the way for TNB and Gamuda Land to collaborate towards increasing the usage of electric vehicles in Malaysia and achieve Malaysia’s net zero emissions aspiration by 2050.
“All of these initiatives will require substantial investments and no individual entity will be able to shoulder this responsibility alone. Therefore, cooperation like what TNB and Gamuda Land are doing today is very much in line with supporting the government’s vision,” he added.
Gamuda Land’s Chief Operating Officer, Chu Wai Lune said, “Urban transportation contributes approximately 23% of carbon emissions, so naturally, ensuring our developments are equipped with facilities to support sustainable mode of urban transportation is one of our key focuses in our masterplan design.”
