Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) is spearheading a transformative partnership with China’s state-owned power utilities, aiming to revolutionise the APG through cutting-edge high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology. This strategic move underscores TNB’s commitment as a regional energy leader dedicated to advancing sustainable energy solutions.
TNB President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Seri Ir. Baharin Din unveiled the ambitious initiative during a recent analyst briefing, emphasizing the pivotal role of HVDC technology in fostering efficient power trading, seamless resource sharing, and the integration of renewable energy (RE) sources among ASEAN nations.
“TNB is at the forefront of pioneering sustainable energy initiatives in the ASEAN region. Our exploration of HVDC technology is a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability. Interconnection using HVDC technology will benefit power trading, resource sharing and RE integration between neighbouring ASEAN countries.
