Terengganu is positioning itself as Malaysia’s renewable energy hub through a major solar-hydrogen initiative led by PETRONAS, in partnership with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and Terengganu Incorporation. The key project is the Kenyir Hybrid Floating Solar Farm, which will generate up to 1,000 MW of solar power. Half of this capacity will supply the state’s first green hydrogen hub, reinforcing Terengganu’s shift from a fossil fuel-based economy to sustainable energy production.
Announced during the East Coast Energy 2025 Seminar, the initiative aligns with PETRONAS’s broader strategy to expand local renewable capabilities while building future-ready energy infrastructure. Supporting efforts include the establishment of the Energy Transition Academy at INSTEP for low-carbon workforce development, and a vendor financing programme that has disbursed over RM342 million to local businesses. Environmental initiatives like Rigs-to-Reef and Tubular-to-Reef have also boosted marine biodiversity near Pulau Kapas.
