Kuala Lumpur, 31 March 2021 – Users of smart metre and myTNB applications developed by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) will receive more benefits through the addition of new features as well as service upgrades. This will be launched no later than 4Q 2021.
Project Director of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) of TNB, Ir Mohamed Ghous Ahmad, said, “Among the new features that users will enjoy are tracking notifications of supply disruptions and periodic supply disruption notices. Users can also plan their monthly limit of electricity consumption and will receive a notification when the limit has been reached. Another feature of the smart metre is its ability to encourage consumers to use electricity more efficiently and help reduce carbon emissions.”
