TNB plans to retire selected coal plants earlier than scheduled to meet its sustainability goals of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. This collaboration involves investing in technology to facilitate TNB Power Generation Sdn Bhd's transition into cleaner sources like hydrogen. Siemens Energy is focusing on research and development investments to enable power plants to operate on hydrogen, with plans to potentially expand into Sarawak and utilize hydropower sources. The goal is to move towards greener fuels and support Malaysia's commitment to net zero emissions by 2050. The companies advocate for a balance between subsidy and tax policies to encourage customer-driven initiatives for sustainability. Thorbjörn Fors, from Siemens Energy, highlighted the significance of public-private partnerships in driving decarbonisation efforts in Malaysia and the wider ASEAN region. He emphasized the need for infrastructural and governmental support to achieve a successful transition towards cleaner energy sources. The discussion also includes the ASEAN power grid and the potential for resource transportation within the region. The collaboration signifies a positive step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sector in Malaysia.
