TNB, PTP in strategic partnership to power Malaysia's net-zero aspiration
KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) has entered into a strategic partnership with Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), a member of the MMC Group, to support Malaysia’s decarbonisation agenda and enhance sustainability compliance via greater renewable energy (RE) adoption under the Green Electricity Tariff (GET) programme.
Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) has formed a strategic partnership with Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) to bolster Malaysia's net-zero ambition. The collaboration leverages TNB's certified renewable energy (RE) under the Green Electricity Tariff (GET) programme, and PTP's dedication to decarbonising operations. PTP will subscribe to 16,000 blocks of GET, equivalent to 16GWh per month, for May 2026 to December 2027, making it the largest GET subscriber among Malaysian ports.
This step enables the port to transition to 100% renewable energy, contributing to its goal of a 45% emissions reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050. The GET programme provides PTP with annual Malaysia Renewable Energy Certificates (mREC) supporting its sustainable strategy. The partnership sets a benchmark for sustainable maritime operations and inspires other energy-intensive infrastructure operators to integrate certified RE through the existing grid.
TNB's chief retail officer and PTP's CEO signed a symbolic GET subscription certificate, signifying their commitment to accelerating the maritime and logistics sector's sustainability journey. Shamsul Ahmad, TNB president/CEO, highlighted the partnership's role in enabling Malaysia's transition to a cleaner energy system and its significance in advancing the nation's energy transition while strengthening key economic sectors' competitiveness.
