KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 — Tenaga Nasional Bhd has given top priority to strengthening the national grid, fully recognising that grid readiness is crucial to ensuring Malaysia’s economic certainty and fulfil the nation’s energy and industrial objectives.
TNB president and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Ir. Shamsul Ahmad said that Malaysia’s energy and industrial ambitions could only advance as fast as the grid infrastructure that supports them.
Against such a scenario, he emphasised that TNB strongly adhered to the “grid-first” strategy, which entails planning and expanding the national network ahead of anticipated demand, rather than reacting after it materialises.
He made these remarks when delivering the keynote address at the “Clean Energy Transition Asia (CETA) 2026” event, Asia’s leading platform for clean energy investment, innovation and partnerships, which attracted more than 200 exhibitors.
