KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB), through its wholly owned subsidiary TNB Repair and Maintenance Sdn Bhd (TNB REMACO), has secured a RM705 million contract from Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy to provide maintenance services at the Sabiya Power Generation and Water Distillation Plant.
Awarded through a joint venture with Kuwait-based Al Dhow Engineering, the seven-year contract encompasses maintenance, repair, and overhaul works at the plant located approximately 65km from Kuwait City. The facility comprises four oil- and gas-powered units with a combined generation capacity of 299.4 megawatts, playing a vital role in Kuwait’s energy infrastructure.
The contract was formalised at a signing ceremony on March 12, 2025, at the National Bank of Kuwait Head Office. Present at the event were TNB President and CEO Datuk Megat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan, Al Dhow Engineering Chairman Isam Al-Sager, TNB Power Generation Sdn Bhd (TNB Genco) Managing Director and TNB REMACO Chairman Datuk Muhamad Nazri Pazil, and TNB REMACO Managing Director Abidin Sarjo.
“This contract reflects the confidence placed in our joint venture’s capabilities,” said Datuk Megat Jalaluddin. “It also aligns with TNB’s strategic vision to be a leading provider of sustainable energy solutions both locally and abroad. Our international presence now spans the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Cambodia, and Kuwait.”
Datuk Muhamad Nazri noted that TNB REMACO has established a firm foothold in Kuwait since its market entry in 2013. The company currently oversees 11 active projects in the country with a cumulative value exceeding RM4.54 billion. To date, 16 TNB specialists have been deployed to Kuwait, with six currently managing ongoing operations.
TNB REMACO, a subsidiary of TNB Genco, is a specialised service provider in operations, maintenance, and engineering for power generation assets, including gas, steam, and hydro turbines, boilers, and generators across multiple international markets.
With this latest win, TNB strengthens its position as a trusted global player in energy solutions while reinforcing its long-term commitment to supporting the energy infrastructure of international partners.
