At TNB Genco, we are dedicated to empowering progress and making positive impact as an organization to make sure that we are constantly aligning our business direction and effort towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Apart from making positive impact, the aim is also to attract commitments from increasingly climate-conscious investors.
As a wholly-owned subsidiary of TNB, we carry the same commitment as TNB to become a socially and environmentally responsible organization. Our sustainability pillars are the cornerstone of our progress.
With this, we have adopted the SDGs below supported by evidence, practical commitment and action.
Our efforts in achieving SDG7
With our latest Combined-Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) which delivers high efficiency and cleaner technology that produces up to 50% more electricity from the same fuel than a traditional simple-cycle plant, combined with our hydro schemes, we are confident that we are able to address the ongoing global Energy Transition, so future energy sources are greener, cleaner and renewable as the world seeks to decarbonize in order to mitigate climate change.
We prioritize energy efficiency, clean energy technology and related infrastructure. Our CCGT power plants have contributed cleaner domestic energy generation capacity of 5.13GW.
Our efforts in achieving SDG11
Since most of our power stations are situated in remote areas, we have contributed tremendously in the development of the surrounding areas and townships such as creating new job opportunities, improving basic services and upgrading standard of living with better quality infrastructures that are more resilient and sustainable.
In our latest hydro scheme project development in Nenggiri, Kelantan another sustainable community will be developed for the Orang Asli settlement and the surrounding rural communities that will create more economic opportunities by 2026.
Balance between our business continuity and environmental protection as a path to provide better future for all.
