Our History
When Phase 2 of the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Power Station in Kapar was commissioned in 1988, it marked a significant milestone as Malaysia’s inaugural coal-fired power station, boasting a generating capacity of 2 x 300MW fueled by coal. This pivotal moment spurred the Generation Division of TNB into action, inaugurating its Fuel Management Unit to oversee the procurement of coal for the station. Comprising just two individuals, this unit was tasked with ensuring a steady and reliable supply of coal to meet the station’s needs.
Over the course of a decade, the Fuel Management Unit not only procured coal for the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Power Station but also honed its expertise in every facet of coal utilization for the station. From strategizing and planning shipments to sourcing the best prices in line with coal specifications, the unit emerged as a trusted authority in coal management. As plans for additional coal-fired power plants took shape, the urgent demand for expertise in this domain became apparent. Consequently, the proposal to establish an independent entity dedicated to coal procurement gained traction and received parliamentary approval, driven by the national imperative to ensure a consistent and competitively priced coal supply.
Thus, on September 1st, 1998, TNB Fuel Services Sdn. Bhd. (TNBF) came into existence, led by a Managing Director and supported by two managers. With this inception, TNBF embarked on its journey, poised to meet the evolving needs of Malaysia’s burgeoning energy landscape.
