Smarter Energy, Better Wellbeing: Time of Use (ToU) Scheme Enhanced Customer Savings in TNB’s Q3 Result 2025

TENAGA Nasional Berhad today reaffirmed its commitment to national wellbeing by  emphasising customer empowerment, community support and long-term energy resilience  at the forefront of its priorities. 

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. 

More households turn to ToU as TNB enhances customer-focused energy solutions 

In enhancing customer experience and strengthening customer empowerment, TNB in  collaboration with the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA),  introduced the ToU domestic optional product feature at the forefront of its efforts to help  households better manage and optimise their monthly electricity bills.  

Since its introduction for domestic customers on 1 July, ToU has emerged as a key option for  Malaysians seeking greater control over their consumption, with a significant surge in sign ups and a steady rise in enquiries recorded across various TNB’s customer service channels.  

To date, more than 70,000 customers have migrated to ToU, reflecting growing public  understanding of how ToU can be used as a practical tool to manage energy usage effectively. 

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. 

AFA rebates continue to deliver significant household savings 

TNB’s customer-first commitment remains central to its nationwide smart meter rollout, enabling households to gain greater visibility and control over energy usage.

Complementing this, ongoing rebates from the Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA) mechanism  continues to support household savings. 

Since its introduction, customers have collectively  enjoyed more than RM250 mil of savings in their electricity bill. AFA mechanism enables  immediate cost recovery and enhances TNB cash flow. 

TNB’s energy solutions platform gains traction across digital and EV segments 

Digital accessibility remains a cornerstone of TNB’s strategy, with the myTNB app now  adopted by 7.1 mil customers or 70% of its customer base.

In parallel 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 mil in revenue, demonstrating the steady adoption of TNB’s charging solutions and  the growing demand for robust electric vehicle infrastructure. 

“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,”  said TNB President/CEO Datuk Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan.  

“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.” 

Supporting customers with strong operational discipline 

TNB continues to play its active role in supporting rakyat wellbeing through wide-ranging CSR commitments, covering education support, healthcare, sports development, biodiversity conservation and other indicators.

 

For the 9-month period of 2025, TNB recorded a cumulative earnings of RM3.2 bil,  meeting market expectations for stable performance across the first three quarters. This  resilience was underpinned by robust electricity demand, stronger sales across key customer  segments, and lower net finance cost.

As of September 2025, demand growth continued its  steady pace, with total electricity sales reaching 99,930 GWh, driven primarily by consistent  growth in the commercial sector. 

TNB’s earnings were further supported by a foreign exchange translation gain of RM350 mil, driven by the Ringgit’s appreciation from RM4.471/USD in December 2024 to  RM4.215/USD in September 2025.

This currency movement contributed positively to the  TNB’s financial position, reinforcing overall earnings stability for the period. 

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 bil in reliability-focused initiatives, forming part  of its cumulative RM8.3 bil 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. 

Giving back to the community

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 mil): Assistance for students through UNITEN and Yayasan  Tenaga Nasional (YTN), reinforcing Malaysia’s future talent pipeline. 
  • Zakat Contribution (RM9.15 mil): Distributed to more than 32,000 asnaf beneficiaries  for Fisabilillah purposes.

  • Biodiversity Conservation (RM523,565): Coral restoration and ecosystem rehabilitation  across Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Redang and Pulau Tioman. 

A Commitment to Malaysians – Today and for the Future 

TNB’s sustained efforts, driven by disciplined operations, customer-centric innovation and  continuous investment in national infrastructure, underline the company’s mission to serve  the rakyat, uplift communities and build Malaysia’s energy resilience for generations to come. 

Together, these milestones reflect TNB’s strong fundamentals, trusted leadership, and  continued commitment to drive long-term growth while shaping a sustainable and inclusive  energy ecosystem. —Nov 28, 2025
