TNB, NUR Power ink deal for solar installation, green energy initiatives

This will serve NUR Power’s customers in KHTP.

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and N.U.R. Power Sdn. Bhd. (NUR Power) entered a partnership for the installation of solar power and other smart energy technologies for the distribution firms’ customers in the Kulim Hi-Tech Park (KHTP) in the state of Kedah.

Aside from installing rooftop solar, the memorandum of understanding signed by the companies also mandated the exploration of large-scale solar solutions and deployment of commercial electric vehicles and charging ecosystems for all the customers in the area, they said in a joint statement.

Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan, chief retail officer at TNB, said establishing collaborations and strategic partnerships are key to boosting the company’s energy transition plans.

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.
