CURRENT GREEN INITIATIVES

The government of Malaysia has recently unveiled the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR). This roadmap serves as a comprehensive guide to Malaysia's commitment to building a sustainable and inclusive energy system for the future.

The initial part of NETR unveils ten flagship catalyst projects. These projects are strategically aligned with six key energy transition levers, designed to drive the country's energy transformation forward.
Moving on to the second segment, NETR introduces the concept of Responsible Transition (RT). This includes a focus on two crucial elements: the grand vision for energy transition and the macro position that Malaysia aims to attain. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of five cross-cutting enablers that will play a pivotal role in achieving these transition objectives.

NETR is a critical tool in navigating the complexities of a large-scale energy transition. It takes Malaysia from its roots in a traditional fossil fuel-based economy and sets a course toward a high-value, green economy. This transformation is not just about energy; it's about the future of the nation and its commitment to sustainability and inclusivity.

This acquisition is a statement of TNB's intent to expand its international RE portfolio, and also facilitates greater collaboration and knowledge exchange with BODL’s majority shareholder, EDF Renewables (EDFR).

Energy Efficiency with LED Streetlights

Street lighting serves a multitude of vital functions for the general public. It plays a pivotal role in enhancing public safety, extending the usability of public spaces, and augmenting the overall quality of life. By artificially prolonging the hours of illumination, it facilitates social and economic activities, contributing to community well-being. Additionally, street lighting significantly improves safety conditions for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.

The LED Relamping Project was established with the primary objective of systematically replacing the existing High Pressure Sodium Vapor (HPSV) lantern sets on TNB's utility poles with state-of-the-art LED (Light Emitting Diodes) lanterns. The fundamental aim of this project is to provide brighter and more energy-efficient lighting, thereby enhancing public safety in the areas served. Moreover, the project seeks to achieve a marked reduction in streetlight failures as compared to the conventional HPSV streetlights, ultimately minimizing recurrent breakdowns in the same lighting units. By adopting this project, which has begun in RP2, TNB has seen a gradual drop in streetlight outages and streetlight-related complaints. This shift signifies a significant advancement in our approach to public lighting services.

The project has garnered substantial public and local authority support for the implementation of LED streetlights, underscoring the appreciation for this modernized and more efficient lighting solution.

Figure 3: The Replacement of HPSV to LED Street Lighting

Figure 4: Benefits of LED Relamping

 As of Dec 2023, LED Relamping Project has installed a total of 602,200 LED units nationwide, particularly at:

Figure 5: Installation by cities (2018-2023)

Highlights & Benefits Obtained

The observed benefits from the LED relamping project are:

  • Reduction of carbon dioxide emission (CO2) by estimated of 30%.

The LED Street Lighting (~90W) consume less electricity than HPSV Street Lighting (150W).

  • Local council electricity bill savings by 30% - 40%.

LED streetlights in general consume much less energy than HPSV.

Figure 6: Reduction in term of kWh between HPSV (left) and LED (right)

  • Enhanced customer experience with better and brighter lights and improved safety.

LED streetlights purportedly provide a higher quality of light measured by the Colour Rendering Index (CRI). The CRI is a scale from 0 to 100% indicating how accurate a ‘given' light source is at rendering colour when compared to a reference light source; the higher the CRI, the better the colour rendering ability. It was reported by the City of Los Angeles that in areas with brighter LED lights, crime has dropped.

  • Increase customer satisfaction due to reduction of complaint from street lighting (estimated 40%).

The reduction is primarily driven by installation of new LED streetlights to replace existing streetlights.

  • Increase customer satisfaction contributed by better average repair time (11 hours to 5 hours).

The reduction of outage and customer complaint has improved the average repair time for street lighting.

Figure 7: Trending of customer complaint with the growth of LED Street Lighting

  • Reliable local supply chain security.

The LED installation has spur local economy activities while strengthening local supply chain security. Approximately 72% of supply contract with the value of RM 305 million was awarded to local LED streetlighting supplier.

  • Spur nation economy development.

The LED installation was installed by local competent contractor from around the peninsular Malaysia. The number of competent contractors has grown from 66 during the initial stage to 123 at its peak capacity. Furthermore, the associated job opportunity was created upon establishment of local competent company.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE FACILITATION

TNB is playing a leading role in driving the adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) in the country through three key strategies:

1. Driving the EV industry through EV policies, advocacy, and regulation.

TNB founded the Malaysia Zero Emission Vehicle Association (MyZEVA), an association that fosters stronger coalitions among EV sector players. TNB is also supported the Energy Commission to co-develop an Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) technical guide to improve the safety and standardize the features of charging stations in Malaysia. Additionally, TNB is working with key government agencies to conduct studies to clarify the economic, social, and environmental benefits of EV adoption in Malaysia. The most recent work is with Ministry of Housing and Local Government to come out with the guidelines of planning for EV Charging Bays, standardizing the procedure to deploy EV chargers across all important relevant authority in all cities in Malaysia.

We recognize that a collaborative approach is necessary for the industry to flourish and have signed several Memorandum of Understanding with various partners, including Sime Darby Motors, SoCAR, and DHL, to collaborate on EV development.

To facilitate EV connections, we have published the EV Connection Guidelines, which includes a dedicated chapter on the interconnection scheme for developers intending to connect EV infrastructure to our network. We also provided a greenlane for EV charging point operator company to further assist them in getting the connection for their charging point / stations.

Figure 1: A snapshot of the EV interconnection scheme available in the EV Connection Guidelines

2. Investing and developing EV public charging infrastructure.

In the early days of EV space in Malaysia, TNB had supported the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Centre (MGTC) and had installed 73 EV charging stations nationwide. TNB also had a few collaborative efforts in the implementation of the Langkawi EV Hub Pilot Project which supports the targeted Langkawi Low Carbon Island 2030 vision. A few EV initiatives as part of the Langkawi Low Carbon Island are to have a comprehensive EV infrastructure like AC and DC chargers throughout the island, and also to have an island-wide EV adoption with the cooperation of public transport, taxi, and e-hailing operators.

As of March 2022, TNB had completed the installation of AC chargers and had the first TNB EV fleet at TNB Langkawi. TNB together with Malaysia Automotive, Robotics, and IoT Institute (MARii) have entered into a strategic partnership to create favourable EV adoption incentives such as income tax exemption for EV purchase, free EV parking, subsidies for private and commercial EV purchases, and many more.

TNB is also committed to further accelerate the EV adoption rate in Malaysia over a duration of 3 years (2022-2024) through the rollout of EV chargers. TNB plans to install a total of 200 DC chargers over the next three years mainly along major highways and trunk roads to proliferate the number of BEVs in Malaysia while allowing BEV users to travel interstate and address range anxiety. To date TNB has 32 charging points (incl. 17 DCFC) over major highways, commercial building, TNB premises. 

3. Accelerating the EV ecosystem development for economic growth.

To facilitate the installation of public charging infrastructure throughout the country, TNB is offering a GreenLane electricity supply application for Charge Point Operators. This will allow for Charging Point Operators to deploy their chargers seamlessly an at a reduced speed compared to normal process.

TNB is also including EV-related jobs in its Reskilling Program to help prepare the nation's workforce for the energy transition and transportation electrification. Additionally, TNB is forging partnerships with EV ecosystem players from vehicle manufacturers, real estate developers, fleet management companies, and charger manufacturers to stimulate the proliferation of BEVs in Malaysia. TNB is also providing digital platform services for interoperability to enhance user experience and creating awareness programs to encourage adoption among public users.

TNB's efforts to drive the EV industry in Malaysia are commendable and will play a key role in the country's transition to a more sustainable transportation sector. By investing in public charging infrastructure, working to standardize safety features of charging stations, and advocating for EV-friendly policies, TNB is helping to make EV ownership more feasible and accessible to Malaysians. Additionally, TNB's partnerships with EV ecosystem players and its focus on developing the EV ecosystem will help to create new jobs and stimulate economic growth in Malaysia. At the same time, TNB plans to gradually electrify its fleet of 4,217 vehicles.

4. e-ToU for EV Charging

The TNB e-ToU scheme, also known as the enhanced Time-of-Use pricing structure, is an electricity tariff system designed to encourage more efficient electricity usage by charging customers varying rates for electricity consumption based on the time of day. Through the establishment of e-ToU for commercial tariff scheme, the EV Charger available at service apartment, retail complex, shopping malls, offices and other commercial areas are applicable for the e-ToU scheme. e-TOU for EV charging has been introduced to incentivize off-peak charging while increasing the utilization of the existing EV Charging Stations (EVCS). The e-TOU offers a discount rate of a maximum of 20% of the existing RM/min rates with the following mechanism:

Peak hour: from 8am – 10pm (14 hours)

Off peak hour: from 10pm to 8am (10 hours)

Detailed information on TNB e-ToU can be found in Dimension 7 as well as in this link.
