The Energy Trilemma
Climate change is transforming the world at an alarming pace, with carbon-intensive energy systems being replaced by low-carbon and renewable energy approaches. According to the World Energy Council, the ‘trilemma’ between Energy Equity, Environmental Sustainability and Energy Security is one of the biggest challenges of this transition.
Energy Equity
Ability to provide universal access to affordable, fairly priced and abundant energy for domestic and commercial use.
Environmental Sustainability
Transition of energy system towards mitigating and avoiding potential environment and climate change impacts.
Energy Security
Capacity to meet current and future energy demand reliably, withstand and recover swiftly from system shocks with minimal disruption to supplies.

Balancing the Trilemma
At TNB, we strive to balance this future-forward outlook with our existing responsibilities to the nation and communities.
Our approach comprises of:
Upgrading the infrastructure
To ensure the reliability of current and future electricity supply.
Optimising system efficiency
