Imagine a Malaysia bathed in sunlight, powered by the wind, and brimming with clean energy. This isn’t a dream, it’s a vision we can achieve, but it takes all of us. By transitioning to clean energy, we’ll not only breathe easier with cleaner air, but we can also boost our economy and create a healthier future for all. Let’s be part of the solution for a cleaner future.

Empowering Customer Empowerment via Malaysia Energy Literacy Programme (MELP)

While individual actions are crucial, knowledge is power. That's why Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) is deeply committed to empowering Malaysians to make informed choices about energy use. Through the Malaysia Energy Literacy Program (MELP), launched in 2023, TNB offers a variety of programmes for different audiences, including schools and universities. These programmes equip future generations with the knowledge to become energy ambassadors, promoting sustainability on campus and beyond.

Feeling the Heat? It's Not Just the Weather

Green house gases especially carbon dioxide, traps heat, causing climate change and making our air thick and smoggy. The result? More respiratory problems, a strain on healthcare systems, and honestly, just not feeling our best.

But here's the good news, by transitioning to clean energy and pursuing ambitious goals like net zero emissions, we can create cleaner air for all. Net Zero emissions is the ultimate goal in the fight against climate change, requiring a comprehensive approach that tackles all greenhouse gases, not just carbon dioxide (CO2). This goes beyond carbon neutrality, which focuses solely on operational CO2 emissions. Cleaner air also means fewer asthma attacks, less coughing, and a healthier you. Plus, studies show it can even lead to lower healthcare costs. So, let's ditch the dirty air and embrace a brighter, breezier future!

Small Changes, Big Differences

Ready to make a difference? It all starts at home. From switching to energy-efficient appliances to embracing sustainable transportation, small changes in your daily life can have a big impact on the environment. Dive in and discover how you can be a clean energy champion, both at home and in your community.

1. Embrace Energy Efficiency:Every little bit counts when it comes to saving energy. Here's how you can make a difference, starting with some easy wins at home:

• Switch to LED bulbs - Ditch those old, energy-guzzling light bulbs for bright and efficient LEDs. They'll light up your life and lower your electricity bill.
• Utilise energy-efficient appliances - Invest in energy-efficient appliances. They use less energy to get the job done, saving you money on your electricity bills and helping the environment.
• Adopt responsible habits - like turning off lights when not in use and air-drying clothes (weather permitting). When you're not using electronics, unplug them.
• Adjust appliance settings - Review your water heater temperature and use those eco-cycles on your dishwasher and washing machine. They might take a little longer, but they'll save you big on energy use.

2. Unleash Your Energy Saver

• Track Your Energy Use - Want to become an energy master of your own home? The MyTNB App empowers you to track energy usage patterns, identify areas for improvement, and set personalised goals for reducing your electricity bill. With this user-friendly tool, you can transform your home into a haven of energy efficiency, saving money and helping the environment

3. Embrace Sustainable Transportation:

• Consider Alternative Modes - For short trips, consider alternative modes of transportation that contribute to a cleaner environment. Walking and cycling are excellent choices that promote personal health while reducing reliance on personal vehicles and their carbon footprint.
• Carpooling and Ridesharing - When driving is unavoidable, carpooling or ridesharing services offer a more efficient use of fuel resources and reduce the number of vehicles on the road.
• Maintain Your Vehicle - Maintaining your vehicle regularly ensures optimal performance and minimises fuel consumption and emissions

4. Spread the Green Message

• Share your knowledge with friends, family, and neighbours. Encourage them to embrace sustainable practices, engage on social media and lead by example. Together, your collective actions can create a cleaner future for all Malaysians.

5. Make Your Voice Heard

• Advocate for change by supporting renewable energy policies. Contact your lawmakers and state assembly members and voice your support for clean energy initiatives. Together, our voices can shape policies for a cleaner future for generations to come.
