Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Malaysia’s leading utility company, has launched two innovative renewable energy hubs in the eastern state of Terengganu. These initiatives aim to enhance the country’s energy infrastructure and support its transition to a sustainable energy future.
Hybrid Hydro-Floating Solar Hub (HHFS)
The HHFS project is a collaboration between TNB Genco Sdn Bhd, TNB’s power generation subsidiary, and Terengganu Inc., an investment holding company. The initiative involves installing floating solar panels on the Kenyir Reservoir, Southeast Asia’s largest man-made lake. This approach utilizes existing hydropower infrastructure to generate additional renewable energy without occupying valuable land resources.
Green Hydrogen Hub
In partnership with Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), TNB is developing a green hydrogen hub aimed at producing green hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia. These efforts align with Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap and Hydrogen Economy and Technology Roadmap, positioning the country as a regional leader in the green hydrogen value chain.
To support these projects, TNB plans to reinforce the local grid infrastructure, ensuring the seamless integration of increased renewable energy capacity.
