Powering the nation’s economy
BEING the prime electricity utility in Malaysia, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has been a key contributor to nation building having powered the country’s homes, businesses and industries for seven decades.
Serving millions across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Labuan, it is one of the largest electricity companies in Asia and constantly strives to provide value to stakeholders.
In recent years, it embarked on push towards sustainability – focusing on renewable energy and going green, as well as supporting numerous social initiatives. Among them is the Penang Starwalk 2019, of which TNB is the Gold Sponsor.
The company has always been respectful of the environment, and has set industry benchmarks in harnessing advanced technologies to lessen environment impact and address global climate change.
It has embraced the Government’s call to increase usage of renewable energy from the current 2%, to at least 20% by 2025 – primarily by harnessing the abundant solar energy that a tropical country like Malaysia is blessed with.
TNB offers several packages for Solar Energy for various types of customers including residential, commercial industrial properties and housing developments.
Building owners can easily convert energy from the sun into electricity, thus reducing energy bills. Excess energy can be exported to the TNB grid and offset one’s electricity bills. Best yet, it is all green and sustainable, with no pollutants emitted.
Customised to suit individual needs and optimise cost savings, the packages come with flexible financing plans for outright purchase or lease, flexible tariffs and tenure periods, and maintenance throughout the contracted period.
One also enjoys 25 years’ warranty for the photo-voltaic (PV) panels, continuous performance monitoring, integrated online billing, 24/7 support and full transfer of ownership at the end of the tenure.
Navigate to www.tnb.com.my/ solar/ for detailed information on packages. There is also a calculator that allows you to estimate savings for going solar.
Besides this, homeowners can also take advantage of TNB’S MAEVI (Making Electricity Visible) app and devices to turn the abode into a smarter and more energyefficient one for better living.
Combining energy monitoring, home automation and home security features, it allows one to keep track and analyse electricity consumption, remotely control fixtures and appliances, set timers and get alerts when consumption is high.
Just remembered you forgot to turn off the fan whilst already commuting to work? Or worried your kids have left the air-conditioner running in an empty room?
No fret, as you can turn those off with just a few taps of the screen from almost anywhere. For the full list of MAEVI products, visit https:// maevi.my/.
TNB’S commitment to renewable energy and sustainability can be seen at its Wisma TNB – which was named runner-up in the ‘Small/medium Sized Building for Energy Efficiency’ category in both the Asian Energy Forum 2019 and National Energy Awards 2019.
