ByteDance last week signed an agreement with Tenaga Nasional Berhad, becoming the first subscriber and offtaker for the Green Electricity Tariff (GET) Greenpath Program, securing Malaysia Renewable Energy Certificates (mREC) through the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) framework.
Both parties stated in their respective social media posts that they are accelerating the shift towards a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable digital economy, forming a partnership that lights the way for future-ready energy solutions.
“By subscribing to TNB’s Green Energy Tariff, we have accelerated our transition to cleaner energy sources for our data centre operations. Our commitment is perfectly timed and aligned with Malaysia’s intensified push to reduce its carbon footprint, driven by the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) goal of achieving 70% renewable energy capacity by 2050. As we advance toward our 2030 carbon neutrality goal, our partnership with TNBX Sdn. Bhd. marks a meaningful step forward, enabling end-to-end green electricity solutions that support both operational sustainability and national priorities,” said a spokesperson from ByteDance System Sdn. Bhd.
TNB through its spokesperson described the move as reinforcing confidence in market-based green energy solutions.
As of 31 December 2024, TNB achieved 4,515 MW in renewable energy capacity, a 13 per cent increase from 2023, keeping the company on track toward its 8,300 MW RE portfolio target. Through GET Greenpath, TNB continues to empower data centres and businesses to operate more sustainably, TNB said in its Linkedin post.
