TENAGA Nasional Bhd (TNB) has entered into an agreement with Singapore’s power company, Keppel Electric, to supply up to 100 megawatts (MW) of electricity to the island nation.

This cross-border deal, leveraging existing power interconnections, marks a significant step in strengthening energy cooperation between Malaysia and Singapore.

The agreement is part of the Lao PDR-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project (LTMS-PIP), aimed at enhancing energy security and sustainability across ASEAN.

In a statement released today, TNB president/CEO Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan said that this move aligns with ASEAN’s energy objectives and reinforces Malaysia’s position as a regional energy hub.

“As a key player in the ASEAN Power Grid (APG), TNB is committed to advancing energy security and leading the region’s energy transition. This agreement not only supports cross-border power trade but also reinforces Malaysia’s leadership in regional energy connectivity,” he said.

The agreement was officially signed by Megat Jalaluddin and Keppel MD Janice Bong at TNB Platinum today, witnessed by TNB Company Secretary Ali Munawar Salim and Keppel Assistant MD Andrew Toh.

TNB’s role in the ASEAN Power Grid is crucial for boosting regional energy interconnectivity and multilateral power trade, particularly as Malaysia strengthens its position in powering data centres and energy-intensive industries across the region.

In addition to the Keppel agreement, TNB also signed a Cross-border Power Trade Interconnection Agreement with SP PowerAssets Limited to ensure stable electricity transmission between Malaysia and Singapore. –TMR
