KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 23): Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) has installed over 1.8 million smart meters in the Klang Valley and Melaka in an effort to improve services to its consumers. "Thanks to consumers in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Selangor and Melaka who gave us their cooperation that we managed to install more than 1.8 million smart meters. Baharin said the installation of smart meters was one of its "Grid of the Future" initiatives, i.e., TNB needed to reinvest RM9 billion to RM10 billion annually to modernise the national grid. The “Grid of the Future" programme adopts smart, automated and digital technologies to ensure maximum efficiency, reliability and sustainability while supporting future energy sustainability," he said. TNB began installing smart meters four years ago in Melaka and its installation will be expanded in the peninsula in stages so that 9.1 million consumers will have the smart meters by 2026.
