KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaga Nasional Bhd
(TNB) has appointed as director Juniwati Rahmat Hussin, a 35-year Petronas veteran associated with Petronas’ massive Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) project in Johor.
From 2013 to last year, Juniwati, 58, was PIC vice-president and venture director and Petronas Refinery and Petrochemical Corp Sdn Bhd chief executive officer.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the utility firm said her appointment at TNB was effective June 1.
Juniwati, who has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Kent in the UK, started out at Petronas as a chemist in 1981.
She rose to various senior posts, including chief executive officer of Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra & Dewan Filharmonik and vice-president of human resource management division.
Petronas’ unit Pengerang Power Sdn Bhd last year signed a 21-year power purchase agreement - the first of its kind - to sell excess electricity to TNB starting next month. The supply will come as a byproduct of its co-generation plant located within the 6,242-acre PIC.
The RM5bil Pengerang co-generation plant, built to supply 1,480 tonnes per hour of thermal steam to plants within the complex, will sell to TNB 400MW of generating capacity and electrical energy and an additional 200MW from the final scheduled commercial operation date of Jan 1, 2019.
PIC - developed by Petronas reportedly at a cost of US$27bil (RM115.7bil at current exchange rate) - forms part of the Johor state’s Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC), which is under Malaysia’s Economic Transformation Programme to establish new engines of growth for Malaysia.
Limited time offer:
Just RM5 per month.
