Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) is reaffirming its commitment to Malaysia’s economic and energy security by channeling 60% of its profits into dividends for government-linked investment companies (GLICs), including Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), Khazanah Nasional Berhad (KNB), Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF), Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (KWAP), and Lembaga Tabung Haji (LTH). Through these institutions, Malaysia’s workforce, pensioners, and future generations reap the rewards of a stable and forward-looking energy sector.
TNB Chairman, Tan Sri Abdul Razak Bin Abdul Majid, emphasized the company’s role in national development. “As a responsible GLC, we are not just focused on financial sustainability but on reinvesting our success back into the nation. Our commitment goes beyond providing electricity – we are lighting up Malaysia’s future,” he said.
Keeping Electricity Affordable
Many Malaysians worry about rising electricity costs, but TNB assures that its profits do not drive tariff increases.
“TNB’s tariffs are regulated by the government and are not affected by our profits. Instead, we reinvest in grid efficiency to maintain affordability and prevent unnecessary cost hikes,” said TNB President and CEO, Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin Bin Megat Hassan.
Additionally, TNB supports rakyat-focused energy programs, including solar incentives and time-of-use tariffs, to help lower electricity bills.
How TNB’s Profits Benefit Malaysians
TNB follows a structured profit policy that ensures its earnings are reinvested into initiatives that directly benefit Malaysians. By allocating 60% of its dividends to GLICs, TNB provides financial security for millions of retirees and workers while contributing to the nation’s long-term economic stability.
Beyond dividends, TNB actively supports social initiatives focused on education, sports, community well-being, and environmental sustainability. These include rural electrification projects, education and skills training, and sustainability-focused community programs.
Investing in a Sustainable Future
TNB is also leading Malaysia’s transition to clean energy by expanding investments in solar, hydro, and green hydrogen projects. The company is enhancing the national grid to improve efficiency and reliability while integrating more renewable energy sources.
“Sustainability is not just a goal—it’s our responsibility to future generations. We are committed to making clean energy accessible, affordable, and beneficial for all Malaysians,” said Tan Sri Abdul Razak.
To highlight its commitment to sustainability, electricity bills for 85% of Malaysians receiving subsidies will now carry a green label, symbolizing the MADANI government’s commitment to protecting people’s wellbeing while promoting energy sustainability.
Driving National Progress
TNB’s reinvestment strategy aims to build a future where every Malaysian benefits from stable and sustainable energy.
“Every home we power, every business we support, every light we turn on—it’s all part of our commitment to nation-building. We are here to serve and to brighten Malaysia’s future,” concluded Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin.
