consumers through the transmission and distribution grid, this decentralisation introduces a bidirectional flow of electricity. Consumers now increasingly become prosumers, actively participating in both electricity production and consumption. The management of these dynamic energy flows necessitates the implementation of smart grids and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). In 2023, the Grid Division and Distribution Network Division invested over RM2.9 billion and RM5 billion of capital expenditure, respectively, in securing, maintaining and modernising our national grid. The highlights of our smart grid initiatives include the facilitation of RE penetration into the system, expanding AMI and real-time network monitoring and control. Additionally, in 2023, we enhanced our efforts in realising the ASEAN Power Grid aspiration by forming strategic partnerships with ASEAN Member States in the region. Facilitation of RE Penetration The developmentof Large Scale Solar (LSS) is thriving, with the current operational installed capacity of 473MW in the Distribution network and 1,340MW in the Grid network. TNB’s physical grid infrastructure has the 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
