Mohd Sedek says access to lower-cost capital is crucial for large-scale infrastructure investments, enabling TNB to spread financial risks over time.For a utility company such as Tenaga Nasional Bhd , a solid financial position – underpinned by a healthy balance sheet, low debt and strong cash flow – enables it to allocate capital towards infrastructure upgrades, research and development, and operational improvements that benefit consumers.

“Beyond its business-as-usual focus, TNB is actively diversifying into new sectors, such as renewable energy and EV charging. This strategic shift not only strengthens its financial resilience by creating additional revenue streams but also positions the company for sustained long-term growth,” he said.

While higher electricity demand is projected for Regulatory Period 4 compared to the 1.7% growth seen in RP3 , TNB is expected to increase its capital expenditure on regulated assets during RP4 to RP5 , in line with the National Energy Transition Plan , said the research note. “Infrastructure projects, whether in physical assets, advanced technology systems, or network modernisation, demand significant upfront capital and sustained financial commitment.”

Mohd Sedek said access to lower-cost capital is crucial for large-scale infrastructure investments, enabling TNB to spread financial risks over time without placing undue pressure on its operational cash flow or liquidity reserves.
