Kuala lumpur: Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) reaffirmed its commitment to driving Malaysia's economic stability and providing long-term energy security, ensuring reliable power supply to homes, businesses, and industries nationwide. For the financial year 2025 (FY2025), the company continued to demonstrate sustainable financial performance, reinforcing its ability to deliver long-term value for both shareholders and the rakyat.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, TNB's resilient performance in FY2025 enabled it to declare an estimated RM3.1 billion in dividends to shareholders, with 60.7 percent to be distributed to government-linked investment companies (GLICs), including Employees Provident Fund (EPF), Khazanah Nasional Bhd (Khazanah), Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB), and Retirement Fund (Incorporated) (KWAP). This payout reflects TNB's commitment to returning value to its shareholders and, by extension, the rakyat, as these funds channel benefits to millions of Malaysians through pensions and savings.
Throughout 2025, TNB actively contributed to uplifting communities nationwide, investing more than RM232.3 million in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. These efforts included educational support, sports development, school engagement programs, community outreach, healthcare initiatives, and solar projects for places of worship. Additionally, TNB contributed RM32.9 million in business zakat and RM11.9 million in zakat wakalah to support asnaf beneficiaries.
TNB ended FY2025 on a strong footing, recording earnings of RM4.8 billion, bolstered by electricity demand growth and a positive foreign exchange gain of RM652 million. The company invested RM12 billion in modernizing and strengthening the grid, maintaining a world-class performance of System Minutes at 0.15 minutes and improving the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) to 46.93 minutes. TNB also achieved its highest-ever Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) score of 9.0.
Significant regional partnerships were established in 2025, including a Joint Development Agreement with Singapore's SP Group and a Memorandum of Understanding with the State Grid Corporation of China. These agreements aim to enhance regional energy cooperation and long-term system resilience.
TNB remains a key enabler of Malaysia's development, contributing to the nation's economic growth by channeling RM9.3 billion to Bumiputera vendors and supporting more than 1,200 companies. In 2025, TNB strengthened its workforce and plans to generate over 2,000 new job opportunities in 2026.
Looking ahead, TNB will continue to invest in initiatives that deliver long-term value for the country, including capital investments, talent development, and expanded CSR programs. 'As we move into 2026, our focus remains clear - to power Malaysia's progress responsibly and inclusively,' said TNB president/chief executive officer Datuk Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan.
