Malaysia utility giant TNB announces early closure of coal plants

03 Aug 2022

A 1,400 megawatt plant could close up to a year before its slated retirement in 2029. The state-owned firm also wants to re-fuel existing power infrastructure with hydrogen and capture a larger slice of the electric vehicle market.

Malaysia’s largest electricity provider Tenaga Nasional Berhad, or TNB, has said it will retire some of its coal plants earlier than planned, as part of its sustainability agenda.

The state-owned utility said it will start by closing a 1,400 megawatt (MW) coal plant in Selangor state, originally slated to retire in 2029, up to a year ahead of schedule. The plan is still pending nods from shareholders and the government.

“TNB is very much in the driver’s seat when it comes to delivering the nation’s energy transition,” said TNB president and chief executive officer Datuk Baharin Din.
