capacity to support up to 12,000MW without significant need for upgrades, assuming that the introduction of solar power follows the planned phases and allocations accordingly. T o promote the growth of LSS, our primary focus is on improving grid flexibility while ensuring system stability. T o facilitate the integration of DERs by developers and stakeholders, we have collaborated with the Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia (SEDA) to develop a Distributed Generation Hosting Capacity map. This initiative aims to identify available DER connection points and capacities at the medium voltage level (33kV and 11kV). Through this map, accessible via a Geographic Information System (GIS) platform, both internal and external users can easily access a comprehensive list of substations with hosting capacity. This streamlined process simplifies the connection of RE sourcesto the grid and supports effective RE planning efforts. TNB has also undertaken a pilot project to develop battery energy storage to reinforce grid resilience for RE integration via interconnection, called Projek Rintis Sistem Penstoran Bateri. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) The AMI plays a foundational role in managing a complex energy value chain and facilitates energy transition and customer empowerment through network visibility. Since the AMI project deployment, 3,549,489 smart meters have been installed, mainly in the Klang Valley, Melaka, Kedah and Penang. In 2023, an additional 873,740 smart meters were installed, exceeding our target of 600,000 units. TNB is mandated to roll out AMI and smart meters to more than 9 million Ordinary Power Customers (OPC) in Peninsular Malaysia through year 2027 and beyond. Customers with smart meters can gain insights into their energy consumption through half-hourly energy usage analysis. The granular information provided by smart meters benefits our customers and empowers our operations to pinpoint grid issues and understand consumer behaviours for more effective service delivery. By
