PETALING JAYA: Malakoff Technical Solutions Sdn Bhd (MTSSB), a wholly owned subsidiary of Malakoff Corporation Bhd, has exchanged a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with TNB Repair and Maintenance Sdn Bhd (TNB Remaco), a subsidiary of TNB Power Generation Sdn Bhd, the generation arm of Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB), to explore collaboration in maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for power plants, as well as training and competency development opportunities.
The collaboration will also focus on identifying potential third-party MRO business opportunities, enabling both organisations to leverage their combined expertise and networks beyond their existing operations.
The MoU exchange was held during the Energy Transition Conference 2026 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre by Malakoff senior vice-president of the thermal division, Mohd Kopli Yunus, and TNB Remaco managing director Abidin Sarjo.
Under the MoU, the companies will cooperate in identifying MRO opportunities across power plant fleets and explore training and competency development programmes within their technical environments. They will also endeavour to identify and pursue opportunities to extend their collective MRO capabilities and technical expertise to third-party power plant operators, further broadening the commercial scope of the collaboration.
Malakoff Group CEO Syahrunizam Samsudin said, “Reliable power plants are the result of disciplined maintenance, skilled people and continuous improvement. As Malaysia’s largest independent power producer, Malakoff has always taken the long view on asset management and technical excellence – not just for immediate gains.
This MoU with TNB Remaco is a natural extension of that commitment. Both organisations bring decades of operational experience in the Malaysian power sector and by formalising this collaboration, we are creating a platform to share knowledge, build capability and raise the bar on how power plants are maintained and operated in this country.
“At the same time, we see real commercial potential in this partnership. By combining our strengths, both MTSSB and TNB Remaco are well-placed to jointly pursue MRO opportunities for third-party power plants, creating new avenues for growth beyond our existing operations”.
For Malakoff, he added, this partnership directly supports its strategy of optimising the performance of their existing thermal fleet while developing the next generation of skilled engineers and technical professionals who will carry this industry forward.
Moving forward, Malakoff said it remains focused on strengthening its operational capabilities and delivering consistent performance across its energy and environmental solutions businesses.
