Smarter Energy, Better Wellbeing: Time of Use (ToU) Scheme Enhanced Customer Savings in TNB’s 3Q Result 2025

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) reaffirmed its commitment to national wellbeing by emphasising customer empowerment, community support and long-term energy resilience.

This strong focus on customer-centric infrastructure serves as a key pillar of TNB’s transformation, reflecting its broader commitment to service excellence and operational reliability.

TNB’s Time-of-Use (ToU) scheme continues to win over households

In collaboration with the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), TNB introduced the optional ToU (Time-of-Use) domestic optional product feature to help households better manage and optimise their monthly electricity bills.

Since its introduction on July 1st 2025, ToU has emerged as a key option for Malaysians seeking greater control over their consumption, with a significant surge in sign-ups and enquiries. To date, more than 70,000 customers have migrated to ToU, reflecting growing understanding of how ToU can be used as a practical tool to effectively manage energy usage.

In tandem with this heightened traction for ToU, TNB is accelerating the expansion of its nationwide smart meter rollout to equip more homes with precise consumption insights. To date, a total of 5,081,063 smart meters have been installed, indicating a progressive adoption of the device.

Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA) Rebates continue to deliver significant savings

Complementing the ToU scheme, ongoing rebates from the Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA) mechanism continue to support household savings.

Since its introduction, customers have collectively enjoyed more than RM250 million of savings in their electricity bill.

TNB’s Energy Solutions Platform Sees Growing Use Among Digital and EV Users

Digital accessibility continues to be a cornerstone of the company’s strategy. The myTNB app currently sees adoption by 7.1 million customers or 70% of its customer base.

“TNB’s priority has always been to ensure our customers feel supported, informed and empowered. We will continue to strengthen every touchpoint — digital, operational and service — with the singular aim of delivering real value and meaningful savings to the rakyat.”

– Datuk Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan, TNB President/CEO

In tandem with the Government’s EV roadmap, nationwide expansion of charging facilities is progressing, with 5,109 charge points installed as of September 2025. Year to date, the EV charging network has supplied more than 10 GWh of electricity, generating approximately RM5.1 million in revenue. This demonstrates the steady adoption of TNB’s charging solutions and the growing demand for robust EV infrastructure.

“Our commitment is clear and resolute: we will continue to take every necessary step, with discipline and responsibility, to meet evolving customer needs and enhance the overall energy experience for Malaysians.”

– Datuk Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan, TNB President/CEO

Supporting customers with strong, reliable operations

Over the 9-month period of 2025, TNB recorded cumulative earnings of RM3.2 billion, meeting market expectations for stable performance. This resilience is grounded in robust electricity demand, stronger sales across key customer segments, and lower net finance cost.

As of September 2025, demand growth continued – with total electricity sales reaching 99,930 GWh, driven primarily by consistent growth in the commercial sector. Earnings were further supported by a foreign exchange translation gain of RM350 million, driven by the Ringgit’s appreciation, from RM4.471/USD in December 2024 to RM4.215/USD in September 2025.

Additionally, TNB continues to strengthen grid reliability and customer experience through targeted investments across maintenance, operational response and digital infrastructure. In Q3 alone, the company invested RM3.1 billion in reliability-focused initiatives, forming part of its cumulative RM8.3 billion year-to-date capital expenditure.

These measures have translated into measurable improvements, with the annualised System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) improved to 46.65 minutes, from 47.62 minutes previously.

TNB continues to empower communities

Beyond providing power to communities, TNB also empowers them.

Between January and September 2025, TNB continued to play an active role in supporting rakyat wellbeing through wide-ranging CSR commitments, delivering:

• Education Support (RM96 million): Assistance for students through UNITEN and Yayasan Tenaga Nasional (YTN), reinforcing Malaysia’s future talent pipeline.
