Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) continues to play a pivotal role in Malaysia’s economic and energy landscape, demonstrating strong financial performance in 2024 while ensuring that its success translates into tangible benefits for the rakyat.
With a commitment to reinvesting in the nation, TNB channels 60% of its profits back to Malaysians through various initiatives, including pension funds, economic development, and affordable energy solutions.
Investing in Malaysia’s Progress
TNB’s dedication to national development is evident in its long-standing Village Street Lighting Programme, which has illuminated rural areas since 2000.
To date, over 525,000 streetlights have been installed, and in 2024 alone, an additional 14,210 energy-efficient LED lights were added under Phase 11 of the initiative, funded by the 12th Malaysia Plan. By enhancing safety and connectivity in villages, TNB strengthens local economies and improves the quality of life for rural communities.
The company’s structured profit distribution strategy ensures that government-linked investment companies (GLICs) such as Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), Khazanah Nasional Berhad (KNB), Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF), Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (KWAP), and Lembaga Tabung Haji (LTH) receive dividends that ultimately benefit Malaysian workers, pensioners, and future generations.
A Commitment to the Rakyat
Beyond electricity supply, TNB actively contributes to community welfare through corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives focused on four key areas: education, sports, community well-being, and environmental sustainability. The company supports rural electrification projects, provides educational and skills training programs, and funds sustainability-driven community initiatives.
Affordable and Stable Electricity for All
Addressing public concerns about electricity tariffs, TNB assures Malaysians that tariffs remain government-regulated and are not influenced by the company’s profitability.
Instead, TNB reinvests in grid efficiency and sustainability efforts to maintain affordability and prevent unnecessary cost increases. Programs such as solar incentives and time-of-use tariffs help consumers manage their electricity bills more effectively.
Driving a Sustainable Future
As Malaysia transitions to a greener energy landscape, TNB is leading the charge in renewable energy investments. The company is expanding its solar, hydro, and green hydrogen projects while enhancing the national grid to improve efficiency and integrate green energy sources.
Additionally, TNB is investing in smart energy solutions that empower consumers to manage their electricity consumption responsibly.
To raise awareness about government energy subsidies, electricity bills for 85% of subsidised households will be labelled green, symbolizing the MADANI government’s commitment to sustainability and the well-being of the rakyat.
Nation-Building Through Energy Leadership
TNB’s vision extends beyond profitability—it is about fostering a future where every Malaysian benefits from stable, reliable, and sustainable energy. Through strategic reinvestments, responsible governance, and a commitment to national progress, TNB continues to serve as Malaysia’s trusted energy partner.
“Every light we turn on, every business we empower, every home we energize—this is what nation-building looks like. We are here to serve and brighten Malaysia’s future together,” said TNB President and CEO, Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin Bin Megat Hassan.
