Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) reaffirms its commitment to driving Malaysia’s economic stability and long-term energy security, by ensuring reliable electricity supply to homes, businesses and industries nationwide.
For the financial year 2025 (FY2025), TNB continued to deliver sustainable financial performance, thereby strengthening its ability to generate long-term value for shareholders and the people.
“This success translates directly into tangible benefits for the people. As a major government-linked company (GLC) serving the nation, our priority goes beyond strong financial performance — it is about channelling our achievements into meaningful investments that strengthen the nation and deliver significant socio-economic benefits to the people,” said TNB President/Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan.
Dividends that Benefit the Nation
TNB’s performance for FY2025 enabled it to declare an estimated dividend of RM3.1 billion to shareholders, with 60.7% to be distributed to government-linked investment companies (GLICs), including the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), Khazanah Nasional Berhad (Khazanah), Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) and the Retirement Fund (KWAP).
This dividend payment reflects TNB’s continued commitment to returning value to shareholders and ultimately to the people, as these funds benefit millions of Malaysians through savings and pensions.
Shared Prosperity
Throughout 2025, TNB played an active role in empowering communities nationwide, contributing over RM232.3 million through various corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, including:
Educational Support (RM137 million): assistance to students through Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) and Yayasan Tenaga Nasional (YTN), strengthening Malaysia’s long-term human capital development.
Sports Development (RM11 million): benefiting 67,100 athletes and sports enthusiasts, including the national hockey programme.
School Assistance (RM4.2 million): initiatives such as Ceria Ke Sekolah and Sekolah Angkat which benefitted over 17,500 students and 50 schools.
Community Services and Support (RM10.1 million): comprehensive community support initiatives, including the Ihya’ Ramadan programme, Projek Mesra Rakyat and disaster relief, positively impacting over 140,000 individuals.
Health Initiative (RM0.6 million): financial assistance to 24,500 beneficiaries, including support to non-governmental organisations and medical institutions.
Solar Initiative at Houses of Worship (RM0.6 million): supporting energy cost savings and sustainability efforts at selected religious institutions.
As part of its social responsibility commitment, TNB also contributed RM32.9 million in the form of business zakat to various zakat institutions across Malaysia. In addition, a total of RM11.9 million in wakalah zakat was channeled to over 36,000 asnaf recipients.
Sustainable Performance and Operational Strength
TNB closed FY2025 with a strong performance, recording a revenue of RM4.8 billion supported by:
Growth in electricity demand: total electricity sales of 133.9 TWh for FY2025.
Positive foreign exchange impact: RM652 million profit, mainly due to the strengthening of the Ringgit from RM4.471/USD in December 2024 to RM4.057/USD in December 2025.
In addition, TNB remains committed to modernizing and strengthening the grid, with an expenditure of RM12 billion in 2025 to maintain security of supply, meet demand growth and implement energy transition projects. This effort has produced a measurable impact in improving customer experience:
Maintaining world-class Minute System performance at 0.15 minutes.
The System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) improved to 46.93 minutes.
The company also maintained its high Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) score of 9.0, the highest ever, reflecting its continued efforts to improve service quality and customer experience.
The year also saw the continuation of the Incentive Based Regulatory (IBR) framework under Regulatory Period 4 (RP4) which reflects a stable and forward-looking regulatory environment, for which TNB appreciates the support of the Government and regulators in supporting sustainable industry growth.
Other achievements in 2025 include:
Best Brand of the Year 2025–2026 at the World Branding Awards in Osaka.
Ranked as the top utility brand in ASEAN and second best globally by Brand Finance.
Expanding its global footprint by securing a seven-year maintenance contract in Kuwait, as well as investments in Australia and the United Kingdom.
Strengthening Malaysia’s Energy Future Through Regional Collaboration
As Malaysia accelerates its energy transition, TNB continues to play a key role in supporting the Government’s objective of enhancing regional energy cooperation and long-term system resilience. This role is reflected in the signing of several cross-border agreements in 2025:
Joint Development Agreement with SP Group and Singapore Energy Interconnections of Singapore to conduct a full feasibility study for a second electricity connection between Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore.
MoU with State Grid Corporation of China involving grid digitalisation, advanced distribution technology and modernisation strategies.
Driving National Growth and Workforce Development
As a key catalyst for Malaysia’s development, TNB continues to make meaningful contributions to the country’s economic growth. Since 2024, the Company has channelled RM9.3 billion, or 55.2% of its total revenue, to Bumiputera vendors. This amount benefits over 1,200 Bumiputera companies nationwide and strengthens inclusive economic participation.
TNB also remains committed to improving the employability and stability of Malaysian household incomes. In 2025, the Company is strengthening a skilled and resilient workforce to support operational excellence and long-term growth. Building on this momentum, TNB plans to create over 2,000 new job opportunities in 2026, driven by expanded capital expenditure initiatives and growth in its project portfolio.
Maintaining Momentum Towards 2026 and Beyond
TNB will continue to invest in initiatives that deliver long-term value to the nation and its people. This includes increasing capital investment to strengthen the nation’s energy infrastructure, ongoing efforts to nurture future talent, and expanding CSR programmes to support communities in need.
"Moving into 2026, our focus remains clear, which is to drive Malaysia's progress responsibly and inclusively. Through continued investment, talent development and community initiatives, TNB will continue to play its role in building a strong economy for the benefit of all Malaysians," said Megat Jalaluddin.
