KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 24 (Bernama) -- Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) will be organising an Energy Transition Conference on Aug 24-25, 2023 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre to stimulate solutions and spur collaborations across various economic sectors.

In a statement today, TNB president and chief executive officer Datuk Baharin Din said the conference, which will be participated by international thought leaders, experts, industry players and policymakers will feature the innovative ways different industries and community groups could accelerate a responsible energy transition.

“Our analyses show that a bigger shift into energy transition will accelerate the environmental benefits to help Malaysia meet its climate change-related commitment, while simultaneously reinvigorate the economy and society via potential gross domestic product growth of 5.6 per cent and carbon avoidance of 142 MtCO2e per year by 2040,” he said. 

He noted that the conference was anchored on the energy transition in three different categories, namely power, transportation and cities.

“These topics will be covered across four specific themes comprising renewable energy (RE), decarbonisation, digitalisation and energy transition enablers such as policy, market, and capabilities,” he said. 

Baharin also said participants will also learn about the available sustainable solutions and technologies via exhibitions and business matching sessions. The aim of these various events is to stimulate local and regional markets for energy transition.

The national electricity utility corporation added that TNB is continuting its huge investment in the grid of the future; accelerating decarbonisation to increase the enterprise value of its power generation arm, TNB Genco; expanding focus markets to grow its RE portfolio; and focussing on electric vehicle ecosystem development.
