Telekom Malaysia (TM) and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly develop green energy solutions aimed at building a more sustainable and interconnected energy and digital infrastructure ecosystem in Malaysia. The partnership will combine TNB’s renewable energy capabilities with TM’s digital infrastructure, connectivity and artificial intelligence expertise.
Under the agreement, the two companies will collaborate on initiatives such as rooftop solar installations, bundled solar solutions and the expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging networks under TNB’s Electron platform. As an initial step, the partners are assessing the installation of solar systems at up to 150 TM premises, with plans to extend solar adoption to residential customers through TM’s Unifi Home services.
TNB’s solar subsidiary GSPARX has already secured over 530 MW of rooftop solar capacity across more than 3,000 sites, while the utility has deployed around 256 EV charging stations nationwide. The collaboration will further expand these efforts while integrating digital tools and AI-driven analytics to improve energy management, optimise consumption and enhance service reliability.
The partnership also includes exploring more efficient sourcing of ICT services to strengthen supply chains, reduce costs and improve long-term digital readiness. Both companies stated that the initiative will support Malaysia’s transition toward a greener, more resilient infrastructure system while improving customer experience through better access to clean energy and smart technologies.
