Biodiversity & Land Use

STRENGTHENING ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT

THROUGH STRATEGIC VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
AND TOWER ELEVATION INITIATIVES

Grid infrastructure is vital. Without a reliable grid system, electricity supply and other
services could be disrupted. But balancing the need for a stable and reliable electricity
supply with environmental responsibility has always been a challenge. Tenaga
Nasional Berhad’s (TNB) division, TNB Grid, recognises the critical role a stable and
reliable electricity supply plays in Malaysia’s economic growth and social well-being,
as well as how traditional vegetation management practices along transmission line
easements often resulted in the clearing of trees andundergrowth to safeguard public
safety and grid reliability. While necessary for safety reasons, these practices had
unintended environmental consequences.
