Reliability remains a cornerstone of TNB’s strategy to ensure Malaysians enjoy stable and secure electricity. Beyond financial strength and community contributions, dependable supply underpins households, industries, and national growth.
In H1 2025, TNB invested RM5.2 billion in reliability-related projects to meet demand growth, ensure supply security, and support energy transition.
On May 28, TNB recorded a new peak demand of 21,049MW, underscoring the importance of these investments.
This has translated into measurable improvements, with the System Average Interruption Duration Index (Saidi) improving to 23.56 minutes per customer in H1 2025, compared to 23.92 minutes a year ago.
Dividends flowing back to the rakyat
For H1 2025, TNB posted earnings of RM2.2 billion, supported by strong demand, operational efficiency, and prudent financial management. Earnings were further boosted by a foreign exchange translation gain of RM350.6 million, mainly due to the ringgit’s appreciation from RM4.47/USD in December 2024 to RM4.21/USD in June 2025.
This stable performance enabled the board of directors to declare an interim dividend of 25 sen per share, consistent with its dividend policy.
“Our dividend commitment is to continue rewarding shareholders, which in turn flows back to the people and contributes to nation-building. This reflects TNB’s ethos of delivering value while giving back to the nation we serve,” said TNB president/CEO Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan.
An estimated RM1.5 billion in dividends will be distributed to shareholders, with nearly 60% going to government-linked investment companies such as Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP), Khazanah Nasional Bhd, Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB), and Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (KWAP).
These funds channel benefits to millions of Malaysians through pensions and savings, reinforcing TNB’s commitment to returning value to the rakyat.
Nation-building: empowering customers and communities
Beyond financial returns, TNB continues to contribute through initiatives that support everyday Malaysians, build stronger communities, and prepare the nation for a sustainable, digital future.
Starting in September, Universiti Tenaga Nasional (Uniten) will introduce new Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes in artificial intelligence (AI) to meet growing job market demand and global technological trends.
These programmes will equip graduates with advanced skills for high-value careers in energy and beyond, contributing to Malaysia’s digital and sustainable economy.
TNB also strengthened its social impact by channelling RM5.4 million in zakat assistance to more than 21,500 asnaf beneficiaries.
This included housing projects under Projek Baiti Jannati, home repairs and rewiring, aid for the poor, and support for Fisabilillah causes such as mosque and surau upgrades, assistance to tahfiz institutions, and other welfare initiatives.
Additional community-driven contributions in H1 2025 amounted to RM99.7 million, including:
- Education Support: RM64.3 million provided through Uniten and Yayasan Tenaga Nasional (YTN), benefitting 1,515 students nationwide.
- Educational Welfare: RM3 million for 276 students and 50 schools under Program Sekolah Angkat TNB.
- Community Outreach: RM2.5 million reaching 93,000 recipients via food aid, community events, and religious programmes.
- Healthcare Initiatives: RM335,000 supporting 2,710 people through hospitals and cancer support groups.
- Disaster Relief: RM541,250 assisting 3,156 people affected by floods, storms, and Palestinian refugees.
- Sports Development: Over RM4.8 million to hockey programmes, benefitting nearly 15,750 athletes and enthusiasts.
- Pulau Tenaga Hijau (PTH): RM360,513 invested in solar rooftops for SK Pulau Redang and Masjid Kg Baru Pulau Redang, directly benefitting 723 individuals while promoting sustainable energy use.
- Community Solar: RM2.17 million allocated to rooftop solar and solar-powered street lighting projects for hospitals, houses of worship, rural schools, and island villages.
Recognition and the road ahead
These initiatives — spanning grid reliability, clean energy transition, financial discipline, and community empowerment — reinforce TNB’s long-term vision of building a modern, sustainable energy ecosystem under its Reimagining TNB 2.0 strategy.
In July 2025, Brand Finance recognised TNB as the world’s second-strongest utility brand and Asean’s top utility brand.
TNB’s brand value rose 35% to US$2.3 billion, with an AAA strength rating. These milestones reflect TNB’s strong fundamentals, trusted leadership, and readiness to deliver inclusive, sustainable growth.
