TNB profit dips 4.3% YoY in first 9 months

It was affected by higher foreign currency losses.

Malaysia’ Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) recorded a 4.3% year-on-year (YoY) decline in profit after tax in the first nine months to RM2.75b mainly driven by the higher foreign currency translation losses, finance cost, and tax expenses including Cikai Makmur for the financial year.

In a statement, TNB said its financial performance during the period was fair on the back of higher Group electricity demand of 7.2% YoY in line with the country’s economic growth.

The Group revenue without cost recovery of the Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT) for the period rose by 6.6% YoY to RM37.95b due to the rise in sales of electricity in all sectors.

Its under-recovery of ICPT for the period jumped to RM15.92b from RM1.3b due to the current high fuel price, said TNB President and CEO Dato’ Indera Ir. Baharin Din.

The company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose to RM16.31b from RM14.39b in the same period last year, with the EBITDA margin without ICPT cost recovery improving to 43% from 40.4% last year, indicating improved operational performance.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
