As the national utility company, TNB is entrusted with maintaining a stable, accessible, and secure electricity supply for millions of households, businesses, and industries across the country.

"In carrying out this responsibility, TNB continues to be guided by the energy trilemma principle, which balances energy security, cost affordability, and sustainability in navigating the transition towards a more sustainable future," stated TNB President and Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Ir Shamsul Ahmad. The company is actively investing in cleaner energy generation, expanding its renewable energy portfolio, and reducing the carbon intensity of its operations. Simultaneously, TNB is strengthening and modernizing its electricity grid to better integrate renewable energy sources and enhance the system's flexibility and resilience.

Shamsul Ahmad made these remarks during the opening day of the TNB Energy Transition Conference 2026 (ETCon26) in Kuala Lumpur, which gathered over 4,000 local and international participants. He highlighted TNB's success in achieving a System Minutes electricity supply interruption rate of just 0.15 minutes in 2025, significantly outperforming the global benchmark of under 1.5 minutes. Furthermore, TNB's MSCI ESG rating was upgraded to AA in 2026 from A in 2025, recognizing the company's sustainability efforts and governance standards.

"We continue to collaborate with industry players and international technology leaders, as well as invest in overseas energy transition and infrastructure opportunities, because we believe this industry does not operate in isolation but thrives through collaboration and expertise exchange," Shamsul added. The ETCon26 theme, "Energy and AI: Synergy for Energy Transition," was chosen to reflect the pivotal role of artificial intelligence in driving the energy industry's transformation. Shamsul emphasized that progress in the energy sector relies on comprehensive cooperation, with policy setting direction, industry driving implementation, investors providing capital, and innovation opening new avenues.
