Malaysia, through Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB), is set to invest RM43 billion between 2025 and 2027 to support the nation’s energy transition agenda and strengthen electricity infrastructure, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said today.
Speaking at the TNB Energy Transition Conference 2026, Fadillah said the investment reflects the country’s commitment to building a more sustainable, resilient and secure energy future while supporting economic growth and decarbonisation efforts.
TNB President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Ir Shamsul Ahmad said the utility remains at the centre of Malaysia’s energy transition journey and fully recognises the urgency of addressing climate change.
He said TNB has been entrusted with ensuring electricity remains reliable, accessible and secure for millions of households, businesses and industries nationwide, while balancing the principles of energy security, affordability and sustainability.
“We are actively investing in cleaner generation, expanding our renewable energy portfolio and reducing the carbon intensity of our operations. We are strengthening and modernising our grid to support greater integration of renewable energy, while enhancing flexibility and resilience,” he said in his welcoming address at the conference.
Shamsul added that the power industry does not operate in isolation but thrives through collaboration and knowledge exchange among stakeholders across the energy ecosystem.
He also highlighted TNB’s operational performance, noting that the utility recorded a System Minutes interruption rate of just 0.15 minutes in 2025, significantly outperforming the global benchmark of below 1.5 minutes.
