Other Services – Utilities

Utilities

The utilities sector encompasses energy and water utilities services. Energy services encompass power generation, transmission, and electricity distribution by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Sarawak Energy and Sabah Electricity Sdn. Bhd. (SESB). Water utilities services are provided by Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN) and Pengurusan Aset Air Berhad (PAAB).

 

In moving towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050, TNB is committed to achieving the 8,300 megawatts of renewable energy (RE) generation target in 2025, followed by a 35 per cent reduction in carbon emission intensity and 50 per cent of its coal generation capacity by 2035.

 

Apart from that, the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) aims to achieve 98 per cent coverage of clean water and sanitation in rural areas by the end of 2025. This is in line with Malaysia’s main objective of MADANI to improve the welfare of the people while supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 6) to ensure access to sustainable water management and sanitation for all. As of 2023, urban and rural water supply access coverage was at 97.1 per cent each, while sanitation services covered 84.4 per cent in major cities.
