Malaysia’s TNB collaborates with 3 Thai energy firms for energy transition

The MOUs were signed with EGAT, Planet Utility, and B.Grimm Power.

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has signed deals with three major energy players in Thailand to develop regional infrastructure for renewable energy.

It said in a statement that the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand will set up a joint working committee to explore the feasibility of a proposed enhancement of the interconnection capacity between Peninsular Malaysia and Thailand.

TNB subsidiary TNB Renewables Sdn Bhd inked an MOU with Planet Utility Co. to study the potential of renewables and power generation technologies opportunities in Thailand. This will include the evaluation of strategic options for possible investments in floating solar, solar rooftop and ground-mounted projects.

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.
