Cover Rationale

Our cover design encapsulates our transformation journey towards our aspiration to become a renewables leader in the ASEAN region,
whilst ensuring sustainable business growth and value creation. We will continue to empower the progress of the people and the Nation,
with our extensive suite of products and services.

We will achieve this by leveraging on innovation and emerging technologies, diversifying our energy sources, upgrading into digitally-
enabled networks, enhancing customer experience and working towards a stable and sustainable regulatory landscape.

In tandem with this, we will continue to inculcate sustainability practices into all our operations to ensure we meet future challenges,
build fruitful relationships and create value for all our stakeholders.

honed from his days as the Nation’s Energy Minister and
his extensive service in TNB, have provided astute and
progressive stewardship to the organisation over the years.
He will be well remembered for his equitable point of view,
uncompromising standards for excellence, as well as his
unassuming personality; steadily providing guidance and

DEAR VALUED SHAREHOLDERS

The year 2019 was significant for TNB at the organisational and industry levels. While the Group celebrated
the momentous occasion of our 70 th anniversary, we also witnessed the industry enter a new era marked
by increased liberalisation and competition brought about by the Malaysian Electricity Supply Industry
(MESI) 2.0 reform initiatives.

TAN SRI AHMAD BAD RI M O HD Z AHIR


Ch a ir m a n

As a utility that has served the Nation’s power needs for seven decades, transformation ANNUAL ELECTRICITY
is integral to our DNA. We have transformed from the Central Electricity Board (CEB) SALES (GWh)

2 .7%
to the National Electricity Board (Lembaga Letrik Negara, or LLN) and, finally, TNB.
Starting off as a state-owned entity, we have evolved our operations at key turning
points in our history, the last being when we were privatised and encountered competition
for the first time with the introduction of Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in the
1990s. HIGHER

Transformation, therefore, is nothing new, and has been managed well as we remain
true to our commitment to ‘keep the lights on’ whilst balancing the energy trilemma;
to provide safe and reliable electricity supply in an environmentally sustainable manner
and at a cost that is equitable for all stakeholders. With this as our primary focus, we TOTAL DIVIDEND

of our own strategic blueprint: Reimagining TNB 2025. As its name suggests, our strategy
is to transform ourselves and bring about profound changes across our operations, from
what we do to how we do it. The objective is to create value for all our stakeholders

STRATEGIC BUSINESS REVIEW

Our Operating
Environment
Industry Review and Outlook

As a result of several decades of industry restructuring, forward-looking policies and an orientation towards continuous improvements,
Malaysia today has one of the most secure and reliable electricity systems in the world. However, there is no room for complacency
given major shifts in the global environment driven by an energy transition, climate change, disruptive technologies and customer
innovations – all of which are happening at unprecedented speed and scale. It is within this context that the broad plan to
reform the MESI 2.0 reform initiatives were developed.

Broadly, the future MESI should seek to balance five objectives: 1) maintain security of supply; 2) drive efficiency to support
affordability; 3) maintain fair shareholder value to ensure continued investments in the system; 4) elevate Malaysia’s green agenda;
and 5)  ensure we continue to deliver a world-class customer experience.

PG. 035

S u pp l y S e c u r i t y

Using widely accepted parameters such as the SAIDI and System Minutes, security of supply in Malaysia has improved
significantly over the years and, today, is considered to be high. In 2019, Peninsular Malaysia achieved a SAIDI of 48.13 minutes
per customer, which is 30% lower than SAIDI recorded 10 years ago, in 2009. Our transmission network, meanwhile, operates
at world-class standards, recording system minutes of 0.27 minutes. These achievements are among the best in Southeast
Asia, putting us on par with developed electricity systems/industries such as France and the UK.

Another measure of system security and reliability is the reserve margin, which represents the amount of generation capacity
available in reserves over and above system peak demand. The regulator has set the target of maintaining the reserve margin
between 25% to 28% while ensuring cost efficiency. In 2019, our reserve margin stood at 32% and is expected to remain
above 31% from 2020 until 2025.

Moving forward, however, as the volume of RE increases, there will be greater decentralisation and bidirectional, intermittent
electricity flows, necessitating an enhanced grid infrastructure to maintain reliability. Towards this end, TNB is investing in
various technologies to ensure a Grid of the Future that is resilient, efficient and sufficiently flexible to manage RE.

STRATEGIC BUSINESS REVIEW

Our Operating Environment

F a ir S ha reho l d e r V a l u e

Over the past decade, over RM100 billion has been invested throughout the Malaysian electricity value chain. This has been
enabled by progressive and business-friendly investment frameworks that encourage private sector investments such as the
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and IBR frameworks.

Investors in Malaysia today have a high degree of familiarity and confidence in the industry given its decades-long track
record. Today, performance is being sustained by the IBR framework, which has been very positively received as it creates
greater transparency of efficiency levels for the different segments of the electricity supply value chain, from generation to
transmission and distribution.

Continued robustness and transparency of the energy industry will be critical to maintain investors’ confidence in the system.
At the same time, it is crucial that private sector investment continues to be encouraged by enabling fair returns as this
would further strengthen the sustainability of the industry for all relevant stakeholders.

G oing G reen e r

In 2019, the total installed RE capacity in Peninsular Malaysia stood at 8% excluding large hydro plants; and 16% with the
contributions of the country’s dams in Peninsular Malaysia. In terms of GWh, RE contributed 4% to our total generation,
which is comparable with other Southeast Asian countries.

While it is crucial that MESI addresses our Nation’s green objectives and contributes to the global decarbonisation agenda,
it is equally important that the reforms are carried out in a gradual and phased manner to protect the interests of the
system, the environment and consumers.

Looking forward, the Government has announced a progressive target of RE capacity for Malaysia. To achieve this, several
initiatives are already under way including the LSS bidding programme and the NEM scheme.

In 2019, two new incentives were introduced; the expansion of the SARE programme to include solar leasing, and the joint
announcement by the Energy Commission (EC) and TNB on the myGreen+ initiative, a green rider tariff scheme that allows
customers to purchase green energy without having to invest in their own RE installation.   

Realising the importance of RE as a potential new source of growth in a changing energy market, TNB will continuously
participate in these initiatives and aspires to become the ASEAN leader in RE. TNB’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TNB Sepang
Solar Sdn. Bhd. was awarded by the EC to develop a LSS project (50MWac) through the first cycle of the competitive bidding
exercise. The project successfully achieved its Commercial Operation Date (COD) on 23 November 2018, and its units generated
as at December 2019 was 110.1GWh.

Additionally, TNB Bukit Selambau Solar Sdn. Bhd. was also successful in securing a LSS project through the second cycle of
the competitive bidding process. The PPA was signed on 19 March 2018. TNB Bukit Selambau Solar will operate a solar facility
located in Kuala Muda, Kedah, with a 30MWac capacity. Its progress as of 31 December 2019 was at 87% and its PPA expected

O u tl ook for TNB

Looking forward, TNB intends to go beyond traditional investments in grid expansion to develop the Grid of the Future.
This includes digitalising the grid to improve operational efficiency, as well as deploying technologies that enable distributed
energy resources and the electrification of mobility, appliances and industry. We believe that the IBR framework already
provides a robust platform to plan and prioritise such future investments.

Meanwhile, we acknowledge the opportunity to better serve our customers. Indeed, rapidly evolving customer expectations,
combined with new solutions made possible by disruptive technologies, place increasing pressure on TNB to step up our
innovation game to meet our customers’ needs.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to serving the rakyat with a better, brighter future, and look forward to continued
collaboration with our Government and regulators on setting the pathway to deliver a stronger, more innovative and resilient
electricity supply industry.

Grid of
the Future
The grid of the future is fully automated and digitalised,
supporting bidirectional flow in a decentralised system that
empowers self-generation and greater energy efficiency
among consumers.

OVERVIEW

Since the beginning, we have been building and operating a


national grid superhighway to ensure we are able to ‘keep the
lights on’ for all our customers. With the superhighway, we will
be able to safely transfer power from other regions into the central
area of Peninsular Malaysia, which accounts for 45% of the entire
peninsular’s electricity demand. At the same time, we are digitalising
and automating our grid to ensure greater reliability as more
RE-based electricity is generated, in line with the Government’s
ambition for RE to make up at least 20% of the national generation
mix. To manage the intermittent nature of RE and other demands,
we have outlined a Grid of the Future (GoTF) strategy which

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

A key development in 2019 was to outline long-term strategic plans for both our high-level transmission grid (operating at 132kV
– 500kV) and medium/low-level distribution grid (operating at 240V – 33kV). Due to their different operating levels and proximity
to customers, our transmission and distribution grids are driven by different sets of parameters, and require separate plans to
address their individual complexities.

GRID STRATEGY

Our 10-year transmission grid strategy framework (2019-2029) addresses six key objectives:
1. Sustain system reliability and quality through enhanced 4. Increase grid productivity through digital workforce

need to complete the existing 500kV grid superhighway interconnections, the backbone of our Grid of the Future.

Among the core initiative for 2020 is the rollout of AMI in Melaka, Klang Valley and Putrajaya/Cyberjaya to meet the target
of 1.5 million AMI deployed. In addition to improved billing and metering quality, AMI deployment is key in ensuring that
MESI 2.0 reforms on retail liberalisation are delivered.

2020 will also be the year in which we will be negotiating on the development plans for RP3. We submitted our proposal
in December 2019 and look forward to the start of discussions at the end of the first quarter of 2020.

STRATEGIC BUSINESS REVIEW – OUR STRATEGY

Future Proof
Regulations
As the energy industry in Malaysia enters a new phase of
liberalisation, it is important to protect the interests of all
relevant stakeholders – from producers to end users – to
ensure sustainability of the system.

OVERVIEW

As TNB aspires to become a global energy solutions player with


a growing portfolio of international businesses, we need to
ensure readiness not just for domestic but also international
regulations as these evolve. Domestically, we have always
provided input to the regulators in establishing policies that
impact the industry, even before the first MESI reform initiatives
began in 2009. Our ultimate objective is to work in tandem
with local Governments/Regulators in the countries where we
operate in order to develop policies and regulations that would
contribute towards truly sustainable industries for all.

The Trial LNG Cargo Shipment demonstrates TNB’s commitment to supporting


the Governments’ aspirations of an open fuel market under MESI 2.0

MESI 2.0

In September 2019, the Government announced it was embarking on industry reforms via MESI 2.0 with the aim of delivering
reforms across the value chain. The potential reforms are as follows:

Fuel Open fuel procurement for power generators, allowing them to source their own fuel to optimise costs

Generation Gradual introduction of a capacity and energy market while maintaining existing PPAs

Grid Enable TPA to the grid system for electricity transmission and distribution while ensuring that the Grid
is able to facilitate distributed energy resources under the GotF

Retail Facilitate greater choice in the retail segment, allowing players to offer new products and services

Governance In ensuring a competitive and transparent system and eventual opening of the market, enhance governance
of Single Buyer (SB) and the Grid System Operator (GSO) in a move towards an Independent Market
Operator

MESI 1.0 reforms that were launched in 2009 significantly strengthened the overall governance of the sector with the ring-
fencing of SB and GSO. It introduced a robust and transparent framework for setting tariffs that incentivises efficiencies while
enabling the system to recover its costs and fair returns.

In many ways, these reforms have been responsible for creating a strong foundation for MESI 2.0 which aim to ensure sector
efficiency, robustness and sustainability. Therefore it is crucial that reforms “do no harm” to an already strong and stable industry.
As reforms being considered for market liberalisation are heavily interdependent, the unique starting point of MESI should be
taken into consideration when designing reform initiatives. Translating thoughtfully designed reforms into positive outcomes
requires careful sequencing of enablers and initiatives as well as rigorous implementation. It is therefore prudent for the reforms
to be carried out in a gradual and controlled manner.

Overall, we recognise the need for the sector to further evolve, as reforms are needed to enable the massive technology transition
and prepare for the demand of new future-proof jobs. A MESI built on the foundation of a strong regulatory framework, presents
a distinctive opportunity to be an economic catalyst for Malaysia.

IMBALANCE COST PASS-THROUGH

In 2019, the Government continued with the Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT) mechanism for two six-month cycles, beginning
in January and then July 2019. ICPT is a tariff adjustment mechanism that allows for the pass-through of variation in fuel costs
and generation costs into the customer’s tariff in Peninsular Malaysia via surcharge or rebates accordingly. The Government
announced the pass-through of additional generation costs of RM948 million for the January – June 2019 period, and RM1,148 million
for the July – December 2019 period. The additional cost was mainly due to the increase in coal prices that were on average
higher than the forecasted coal price set under the base tariff of USD75 per MT. Higher electricity demand has also resulted in
the increase in the fuel and generation cost for the period.

DIVIDEND

For the financial year 2019, TNB’s Board of Directors had approved a total RM5.69 billion in dividend payout. This includes a
special dividend of 50.0 sen per share on top of a core dividend of 50.0 sen. The total dividend issuance of RM1.00 per ordinary
share as compared to 53.3 sen in financial year 2018 is a record high and definite indicator of TNB’s strong fundamentals.

The core dividend payout amounting to RM2.84 billion translates to a 56.0% dividend payout ratio from the Group’s adjusted
PATAMI of RM5.08 billion. This is consistent with our Dividend Policy of providing shareholders between 30% and 60% of the
Group’s consolidated net PATAMI excluding extraordinary, non-recurring items.

In compliance with the Companies Act 2016, we applied prudent financial risk management by assessing the Group’s solvency
and ability to settle short-term loan obligations in deciding on our dividend issuance.

The Board decided on payment of the special dividend in a show of appreciation to our loyal shareholders for their continuous
support.

Ethics and Human Rights

An organisation must fundamentally add value for stakeholders by adopting a responsible business philosophy.

At TNB, we believe in doing business responsibly. The Board assumes ultimate responsibility for TNB’s ethics performance
and adherence to human rights principles. This responsibility is delegated to Management which uses various tools to
fulfil its mandate, among others including:

CODE OF ETHICS WHISTLEBLOWING PROCEDURES ETHICS & INTEGRITY POLICY

CORPORATE DISCLOSURE POLICY CORPORATE INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM


HANDBOOK

In our efforts to apply high standards of ethical decision-making, taking stakeholder requirements into consideration
to ensure value creation, we undertook the following actions during the financial year:

TNB has a well-thought-out set of Shared Values made publicly available and communicated to the workforce. First
among the TNB Shared Values is Integrity. The five (5) Principles of Integrity are:

Our Board and Board Committees

The Board provides leadership and strategic guidance to safeguard stakeholder value creation within a framework of prudent
and effective controls. This makes it possible for the Group to assess and manage risk to ensure long-term sustainable
development and growth.

The Board is ultimately accountable and responsible for the performance and affairs of TNB and ensures that the Group
adheres to high standards of ethical behaviour.

The Board Committees assist the Board in the discharge of its duties and responsibilities.

Each Board Committee has a formal written Terms of Reference that are effectively delegated in respect of some of the
Board’s responsibilities.

The Board monitors these responsibilities to ensure effective coverage of and control over, the Group’s operations.

SUSTAINABILITY AT TNB
Managing Sustainability
Driven by the unprecedented scale of climate change, the world is undergoing energy transition, from a carbon-intensive system
towards a low-carbon and renewables-driven future. The progress towards a sustainable energy future, however, needs to be
delicately balanced against the imperative to develop and sustain the well-being of the nation and communities.

WHAT MATTERS TO US
Our Material Matters and Commitment to the UN SDGs
Our materiality assessment workshop was conducted in FY2017 (ending 31 August 2017) to identify material sustainability matters
that could have significant economic, environmental and social impacts, both to our business and to our stakeholders. We
conduct an annual review of our material matters to determine their importance by considering various factors that would
impact TNB, including the latest industry trends, regulations and sustainability issues, as well as our stakeholders’ interests and
concerns. In FY2019, we reviewed the material matters with Top Management and the SDC, and have concluded that all existing
material matters remain our priorities. As we recognise the urgency and significance of climate change towards the industry
and our business, we have redefined the “Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions” material matter to “Climate Change”, as approved
and endorsed by the SDC. This is to reflect our progressive efforts in line with the Government’s commitment to the Paris
Agreement.

We disclose our management of material matters through our eight (8) topics under four (4) sustainability themes: Spirit of
Responsibility, Empowering the Nation, Environmental Stewardship and Embracing Relationships. We also continue to map our
relevant direct or indirect contribution to the UN SDGs against each topic.

is TNB’s third USC plant and the fourth one in Malaysia, which
has contributed to the increase in TNB’s installed capacity from
12,369.53MW to 13,469.53MW.

Meanwhile, the Southern Power Generation combined-cycle


gas turbine (CCGT) plant at Pasir Gudang, Johor that is due for
completion by July 2020 uses the 9HA.02 gas turbine technology.
It is expected to achieve a combined-cycle thermal efficiency
exceeding 60%, which is higher than the conventional gas-fired
power plants thermal efficiency and will eventually translate
to lesser GHG emissions.

Asset Optimisation
Given the importance of energy to national security, our assets are classified as Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII).
We recognise our responsibility to ensure this infrastructure is maintained and protected, hence we have adopted a holistic
asset management approach to fulfil this need.

Our Asset Management Plan is an effective asset management system with ISO 55001:2014 Asset Management certification
provides TNB the roadmap for achieving greatest value from physical assets by optimising cost, risk and performance across the
asset lifecycle. Under this plan, we outline the implementation activities necessary to realise TNB’s asset management policy,
strategy and objectives. We have also implemented Asset Performance Management System (APMS) as part of our enterprise
asset management solution to establish and verify a holistic view of asset management throughout its lifecycle, thus, facilitating
analysis of investments, operations, maintenance, risks and opportunities, as well as performance and sustainability.

RELIABLE ENERGY WITH


Regional Inclusion

AFFORDABLE TARIFFS
As the national electricity provider, TNB is committed towards contributing to Goal 7 of the
UN SDGs by providing access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy for all. TNB is
delicately balancing the energy trilemma to deliver a high quality supply and service while
assisting transformation of MESI to the benefit of Malaysian customers. In pursuing clean
energy, TNB also balances the accessibility and security of electricity supply to achieve the
nation’s long-term development goals and ensure the upliftment of all communities. This goal
is in line with the Government’s SPV  2030 Strategic Thrust (ST) 6 on regional inclusion by
providing affordable and reliable energy.

The electricity tariff model is subject to the Government’s regulatory mechanism, featuring the
Incentive Based Regulation (IBR) framework. IBR is a framework for electricity tariff setting,
with built-in incentives to improve efficiency of regulated entities and give greater transparency
for customers. Under IBR, tariffs comprise the base tariff and Imbalance Cost Pass-Through
(ICPT). The base tariff rate is maintained over a three-year period, while ICPT, which includes
rebates or surcharge, is reviewed every six months.
Base tariff is set to reflect the base cost for fuel and generation,
the capital cost, as well as the operation, maintenance and
administration costs of all the regulated business entities. ICPT,
on the other hand, is another element in the electricity tariff
which acts as an adjustment mechanism to reflect changes in
fuel and generation costs in customers’ tariffs. This is to ensure
financial sustainability and reliability of supply in the system.
(Based on
actual fuel If global fuel prices and generation costs decrease, the difference

between the price and cost assumptions and the base tariff will

generation costs cause a surcharge to be imposed on customers.
Base Subject to Government’s approval, any surcharge as a result of
Tariff
(sen/kWh) additional fuel and generation costs may be cushioned by the
Kumpulan Wang Industri Elektrik (KWIE). Domestic customers
with a monthly consumption of more than 300kWh are subjected
to the ICPT mechanism. However, to lessen the burden of lower-
income groups, domestic customers with a monthly consumption
of 300kWh and below are not affected by the ICPT mechanism.
Source: www.energywatch.com.my
Details on the ICPT rebates and surcharges to the customers can
be found at https://www.tnb.com.my/faq/tariff/.

Additionally, in lower-income households, the Government has a targeted assistance programme to finance their monthly electricity bills, with a
subsidy of up to RM40. Those eligible to the subsidy mainly comprise underprivileged and hardcore poor communities who are registered in the
eKasih system.

The contribution of IBR and ICPT aims to safeguard our customers’ access to affordable energy while supporting a sustainable energy industry.
This is to ensure financial sustainability of the system and give greater transparency and certainty in tariff setting to the customers.

Activities

In view of Reimagining TNB’s transition towards Grid of the Future journey, TNB is diligently implementing Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI), or also known as Smart Meters to help improve our services efficiently and provide new
customer experience through digitalisation. The initiative aligns with TNB’s commitment towards Goal 8 of the UN SDG
and SPV  2030’s ST2 by driving productivity & digital innovation, and key economic growth activities.

Compared to the conventional electricity meter, smart meters are equipped with additional digital and telecommunication
facilities for two-way communication. This enables the smart meter to record customers’ electricity usage and automatically
communicates the information daily through various channels, primarily using Radio Frequency (RF) and to a lesser extent
Power Line Carrier (PLC) and Cellular Network technologies. This information is available through myTNB mobile application
and myTNB Portal (data down to 30 minutes interval), allowing customers to easily track their previous days’ consumption
data. Through these applications, customers are empowered to manage their energy consumption more efficiently,
resulting in a reduction of electricity bills and carbon footprint.

TNB has set a target of installing 9 million smart meters across Peninsular Malaysia in phases under the AMI initiative
by year 2026. A  total of 281,066 smart meters were successfully installed primarily in Melaka and with limited numbers
in Klang Valley as of December 2019. Phase 2 of the initiative targets to install 1.2 million smart meters in selected urban
areas by 2020.

In 2019, TNB introduced the Malaysia Green Attribute Tracking System,


(mGATS) and myGreen+ schemes to encourage the uptake of RE.
mGATS provides a platform for corporations, for example, RE generators,
retailers and customers, to trade energy harvested from renewable
sources through the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC). The REC is myGreen+ Updates as of FY2019:

The myGreen+ scheme was introduced as an option for customers to
opt for green energy without having to spend on the high initial Subscriptions (kWh)

It has been our ongoing effort to make electricity accessible to as many Malaysians as possible, especially communities
still without a connection to the national grid. Our strategic actions to realise this commitment contribute towards Goal
17 of the UN SDGs.

We have been working closely with the Government to provide electricity infrastructure in rural areas, Orang Asli settlements,
small estates, islands and other remote villages. This partnership and corresponding initiatives are in line with SPV  2030’s

ST 2 in providing equitable economic opportunities by improving living conditions.

With the support of the Ministry of Rural Development (Kementerian Pembangunan Luar Bandar, KPLB), the Rural
Electrification Programme (Bekalan Elektrik Luar Bandar, BELB) aims to supply power to villages that are beyond the
operational area of local authorities. We help connect these villages to TNB’s grid lines or through off-grid alternatives,
such as solar hybrids, generator sets, mini hydro and the like, for settlements that are too remote to be connected to our
grid lines. A total of 26 villages have benefitted from this initiative to date, allowing them to have access to basic needs
for their day-to-day activities as well as to create opportunities for economic growth.

With a similar purpose, the Village Street Lighting Project (Projek Lampu Jalan Kampung, LJK), launched in 2002, ensures
that public areas in remote villages such as police stations, religious buildings and roads, are well lit at night to support
safe communal activities. Also funded by KPLB, a total of 37,835 units of street lights were installed in 7,911 villages at a
cost of RM30.76 million.

Additionally, we continued our Home Rewiring Programme that was introduced in 2017. This programme aims to rewire
underprivileged homes in Peninsular Malaysia. It is our target to rewire 1,000 homes through this initiative. To date, 93
homes have been refurbished under this programme, with RM306,399.00 spent in FY2019.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION


Homes for Basic Well-being
As part of our efforts to contribute to nation-building, TNB is driven to help raise
the standard of living of marginalised communities as well as work towards sustainable
development for all.

Through the Home for the Needy programme, we provide liveable spaces that have
electricity, water and proper sanitation, by refurbishing or building new homes. In
collaboration with State Governments, the target beneficiaries from this programme
include single parents, senior citizens and individuals with disabilities. This programme
consists of the Projek Baiti Jannati (PBJ), and Program Mesra Rakyat (PMR). In
FY2019, both these programmes benefitted 181 and 31 families, respectively, through
a total contribution of approximately RM9.96 million.

Additionally, the Better Brighter Shelter (BBS) programme provides accommodation


via dormitories and transit homes for families whose members are undergoing
treatment in the hospitals. These facilities benefit folks from the not so well to do
families especially those coming from rural areas or outskirts of the capital Kuala
Lumpur. Since its inception in 2017, there are two (2) Government-owned hospitals
that are linked to this programme: Serdang Hospital and the National Heart Institute
(Institut Jantung Negara, IJN). TNB has formed partnerships with the National
Welfare Foundation (Yayasan Kebajikan Negara, YKN) for Serdang Hospital and the
IJN Foundation for IJN, to focus on upgrading the dormitories and transit homes
at each location respectively. Approximately RM3.49 million has been allocated for
this programme to be implemented from 2017 to 2021. In FY2019, we included
Hospital Melaka within this programme for the period of 2019 to 2023.

Energy Efficient Communities


TNB aspires to support communities by providing energy efficient infrastructure.

Our programme to replace High-Pressure Sodium Vapour streetlights to Light Emitting


Diode (LED) streetlights, which commenced in FY2018, aims to improve cost efficiency
in all state capital cities. LED lights are more energy and cost efficient and reduce
the risk of street lighting failure from 15% to less than 1%. To date, we have installed
326,053 lights out of the 579,080 selected approved cities across Peninsular Malaysia.

With the help of our subsidiary, TNBES, we have carried out a few initiatives to
install RE fittings in community buildings. This includes the installation of smart
self-generative solar PV systems in a newly-built dementia day-care centre, Pusat
Jagaan Harian Dementia in Perak. The installation, which supports the NEM scheme,
is expected to generate about 3,900kWh per month with approximately RM2,000
cost savings from monthly electricity bills.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTENANCE
As part of our environmental stewardship, we have been carrying out conservation
efforts to restore forest spaces.

TNB Janamanjung Sdn. Bhd. (TNBJ) has been conducting an annual mangrove planting
programme to improve the protection of coastal environments and encourage the
production of sustainable fisheries in the Janamanjung vicinity. Since 2013, over 1,000
mangrove saplings are planted per year, and to date, we have planted 9,200 saplings.
In FY2019, TNBJ’s mangrove planting initiative took place at Kampung Sungai Tiram,
Lekir, Perak with 3,200 new saplings planted. We have also expanded this mangrove
planting initiative to Group-wide, with 1,000 mangrove saplings planted in Hutan
Simpan, Pulau Ketam, Kuala Perlis.

TNB has also been a long-standing supporter in conserving firefly colonies in Malaysia.
The project was originally a collaboration with the Selangor State Government via
the Kuala Selangor District Council (Majlis Daerah Kuala Selangor, MDKS) to carry
out the project in Kampung Kuantan which has one of the largest firefly colonies in
Southeast Asia. The success of the pilot project resulted in the expansion of locations
to Kampung Yak Yah, Kemaman, Terengganu; Kampung Sungai Timun, Rembau,
Negeri Sembilan; and Kampung Dew, Taiping, Perak. In FY2019, approximately

Educational Development Programmes


Promoting High-Quality Education in Schools
We believe that a significant component of improving access to quality education is
through making improvements to schools, the leadership and teaching methods, as
well as instilling a learning culture amongst the students.

Our key initiative, the Trust Schools Programme is a public-private partnership between
the Ministry of Education (MoE) and Yayasan AMIR, a non-profit foundation established
in 2011 by Khazanah Nasional. Teachers are exposed to new teaching and learning
methods that would benefit the students who will be put through an effective co-
curriculum framework.

TNB has also committed RM800,000 respectively to eight (8) schools to improve the
delivery of curriculum and enhance the school management with the view of promoting
sustainable education practices. The eight (8) schools that benefitted from this
programme are:

• Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Samudera, Perak;


• Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Samudera, Perak;
• Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kg. Jawa, Selangor;
• Sekolah Kebangsaan Kg. Jawa, Selangor;
• Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Paka, Terengganu;
• Sekolah Kebangsaan Paka 111, Terengganu;
• Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Jeli, Kelantan; and
• Sekolah Kebangsaan Jeli 1, Kelantan

Likewise, the Pintar Schools Adoption Programme assists under-performing schools with the view to improve the academic and
extracurricular performance. Initiatives such as motivational camps, tuition classes, examination seminars and workshops, and
hockey trainings are organised at the respective schools. Since 2017, TNB has adopted 18 schools nationwide under this programme.
In FY2019, up to 120 students have benefitted and TNB has contributed a total of RM2.19 million to this programme.

Advocating Equal Learning Opportunities


All students deserve the opportunity to learn, however, underprivileged students
face more barriers and challenges in the pursuit of education. As such, we strive
to help by subsidising school fees and providing supplies.

Our annual Back-to-School programme has been rebranded to Ceria ke Sekolah


and it takes place before the school year starts. TNB had the privilege to sponsor

S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y
school supplies, such as school uniforms, bags, shoes and stationeries. This

S TAT E M E N T
programme caters specifically to primary school students from low-income families.
In FY2019, 6,100 students benefitted in 37 locations nationwide.

Launched in 2018, TNB also carries out the B40 Programme with a total of 300
students being adopted to date. This programme is targeted for secondary school
students, specifically those in Form 3, from B40 families. Three (3) schools in Kuala
Lumpur are our beneficiaries: Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bukit Bandaraya,
Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bangsar and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri
Pantai. From 2018 to 2020, each student will receive RM1,500 a year and
sponsorships to attend self-development programmes organised by TNB, including
motivational camps and outreach programmes. In addition, we have launched
the Better Brighter Vision programme in partnership with Tun Hussein Onn Eye
Hospital to provide eye screening procedures and corrective glasses for primary
and secondary students from B40 families that need this support. We have
allocated a total of RM67,000 for this programme, which has benefitted 600
students from five (5) schools in Kuala Lumpur.

Sustainability Statement

SPV 2030:
FEATURE STORY: Strategic Thrust 2: UN SDG:
Key Economic Growth Goal Eight (8)
MY BRIGHTER FUTURE Activities

We believe in the immense power of education as a


catalyst for economic empowerment and social mobility.
Education and leadership development largely form our
efforts in social investments, in line with our commitment
to realise Goal 8 of the UN SDGs by improving employability
of the marginalised youths through education. In addition,
this resonates with the SPV  2030’s ST 2 to facilitate
economic growth in the long run.

One of TNB’s key initiative in uplifting marginalised youths


is the Dermasiswa My Brighter Future (MyBF) under YTN.
This programme was established to promote equitable
access to tertiary education, particularly for families in
the B40 bracket registered under the eKasih scheme.
In FY2019, MyBF has awarded scholarships to 3,564 students who are pursuing their tertiary studies in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) as well as Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) subjects at seven
(7) public universities, community colleges and polytechnic institutions in Malaysia. The MyBF scholarship covers tuition fees,
boarding and living expenses throughout the duration of their studies. This enables students to have some financial security,
allowing them to focus on their studies and future careers.

MyBF not only provides financial aid but also the opportunity for students to develop the necessary skills to prepare them
for future success. YTN conducts multiple development programmes for MyBF recipients throughout the year. These
programmes allow students to sharpen their professional and entrepreneurial skills, as well as facilitate networking sessions
between scholars and industry leaders.

Muhamad Akidd Mohd Sharif, a recipient of MyBF scholarship enrolled in BSc Electrical Engineering Technology at Universiti
Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM), was the first batch of MyBF beneficiaries at UTeM. “I feel very fortunate to have been
offered the MyBF scholarship. I am now motivated to finish my studies and to realise my dream of becoming a professional
engineer. I hope as I graduate, I will be able to support my family and empower my community by sharing my experiences.
I wish to continue YTN’s legacy by establishing an NGO that helps underprivileged youths gain access to tertiary education
and provides opportunities to the less fortunate communities to achieve socio-economic growth.”

At TNB, we believe education is an important tool in our efforts for sustained economic growth and nation-building. Through
YTN, we have invested a total of up to RM21.22 million in FY2019 MyBF programme.

Well Rounded Education through Sports


We recognise that success is not only defined by academic excellence. It is important
for individuals to develop based on their strengths and interests. Therefore, we have
reached out to support students with an interest in sports, specifically hockey. We
contribute towards developing individuals who display great potential in this game
through the National Hockey Development and Thunderbolts Programme, whereby we
adopt sports schools and coach promising individuals. They are mentored by former
national one-line hockey players, who are also TNB employees. Since 2006, several
national players are amongst the alumni of this programme.

The schools adopted under this programme are:

• Sekolah Sukan Bukit Jalil, Selangor;


• Sekolah Sukan Tunku Mahkota Ismail, Johor;
• Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seberang, Temerloh, Pahang; and
• Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Anderson, Ipoh, Perak.

In FY2019, TNB sponsored RM4 million to this programme for various leagues and
championships organised by the Malaysian Hockey Confederation. Additionally, up to
RM2 million was contributed to workshops for TNB coaches, allowance for TNB employees
involved in the programme and other activities to promote hockey in Malaysia.
