TNB BUKIT SELAMBAU SOLAR 2 :
A STEP FORWARD IN MALAYSIA’S RENEWABLE ENERGY
EFFORTS
TNB Bukit Selambau Solar 2 (TBSS2) is part of Malaysia’s Large Scale Solar (LSS)
initiative, a competitive tender programme led by the Energy Commission of Malaysia.
This initiative aims to develop large-scale solar photovoltaic plants across the country
to boost renewable energy production and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
The Energy Commission of Malaysia, or Suruhanjaya Tenaga, regulates the country’s
energy industry. It ensures that energy projects are developed and managed according
to national policies and goals. For the LSS programme, the Energy Commission
oversees the tender process, ensuring it is conducted fairly and that projects like
TBSS2 meet all necessary technical and environmental standards. They are crucial
in ensuring solar farms contribute effectively to Malaysia’s renewable energy targets.
Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Malaysia’s largest electricity utility company, plays a
central role in this initiative. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TNB Renewables
Sdn Bhd (TRe), TNB is responsible for developing, managing, and operating TBSS2.
As a key player in the country’s energy sector, we are committed to transitioning
Malaysia’s energy production towards more sustainable sources. By leading
projects like TBSS2, TNB achieves its commercial objectives and aligns with national and
international goals to combat climate change through renewable energy initiatives.
