Through GSPARX, solar system packages will continue to be enhanced to provide greater value to consumers. In addition, the expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging station networks is also being planned under this collaboration.
"With the expansion of EV charging infrastructure, users will have greater access to convenient charging locations, enhancing both convenience and the overall user experience. TNB also remains committed to supporting NETR to increase the adoption of renewable energy and strengthen the nation's transition towards net-zero emissions by 2050," he said.
TM Group Chief Executive Officer, Amar Huzaimi Md Deris said, "TM and TNB represent two pillars of Malaysia's critical infrastructure, and this collaboration reflects our shared commitment to strengthening the nation's energy and digital ecosystems in a sustainable and future-ready manner. By combining TNB's leadership in renewable energy with TM's strengths in nationwide digital infrastructure, connectivity and AI capabilities, I am confident that this partnership will create value for both organisations."
"Aligned with the Digital Powerhouse 2030 aspirations, this collaboration reflects TM's efforts
in empowering digital transformation across key national sectors," added Amar.
