KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaga Nasional Bhd
(TNB) and Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS) have formalised a strategic collaboration to develop and operate a District Cooling System in Seksyen 14, Shah Alam.
In a statement, TNB said the collaboration, implemented through TNB Engineering Corporation Sdn Bhd (TNEC) and PKNS FM Integrated Sdn Bhd (PFMI), brings together TNB’s engineering and energy infrastructure expertise with PKNS’ asset ownership and urban development capabilities.
The project is positioned as a key initiative to support sustainable and energy-efficient urban rejuvenation in Selangor.
Under the project, chilled water generated from a centralised cooling plant will be supplied to buildings owned or managed by PKNS and its affiliates, as well as to tenants and lessees within the designated development area.
The supply will cover key properties including Plaza Perangsang, Plaza Alam Sentral, SA Sentral, SACC Mall, PKNS Headquarters and Kompleks PKNS Shah Alam.
The project is also designed to support future developments within the precinct, notably SA Sentral, which is envisioned as a landmark project aimed at positioning Shah Alam as a leading business hub in Selangor.
TNB president/chief executive officer Datuk Ir. Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan said the collaboration reflects TNB’s continued commitment to delivering innovative energy solutions that support sustainable urban growth.
“Through this strategic collaboration, we are driving greater energy efficiency, reducing carbon footprint, and contributing to the creation of smarter, future-ready cities.
“By combining TNB’s engineering expertise with PKNS’ strong urban development portfolio, we aim to set a new benchmark for integrated infrastructure that drives long-term value for communities, businesses and the environment,” Megat Jalaluddin said.
Meanwhile, PKNS group chief executive officer Datuk Mahmud Abbas said the collaboration reflects the synergy between TNB and PKNS in advancing sustainable urban development, noting that the District Cooling System initiative aligns with the Selangor state government’s focus on delivering efficient and future-ready infrastructure for high-density urban areas.
He added that the project also supports PKNS’ long-term strategy to enhance asset value through the adoption of environmentally responsible technologies.
