TNB to invest additional RM35 bil over 2025-2030 to beef up grid for energy transition

1. Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) plans to deploy an additional RM35 billion between 2025 to 2030 towards upgrading Malaysia’s power grid, to ensure the infrastructure does not become an obstacle in the nation’s energy transition (ET) endeavours.

2. This is on top of the national utility giant’s RM54 billion non-ET investment allocation for the grid over the same five-year period.

3. This means that TNB plans to invest a total of RM90 billion into Malaysia’s grid in the coming five-year period. This is nearly double the RM46 billion the group allocated for 2018-2024. which comprises RM40 billion for non-ET and RM6 billion for ET.
