00:00 TNB generates revenue by selling electricity produced from its gas, coal and renewable

00:11 energy power plants.

00:13 It seems contradictory, but the national electricity provider consistently encourages

00:18 consumers to avoid wasting electricity, which is the very source of its income.

00:24 According to TNB, energy efficiency is beneficial for the long-term health of the energy sector

00:30 and is more cost-effective, and that inefficient electricity usage leads to higher tariff rates.

00:37 To promote a more sustainable future, TNB has partnered with Star Media Group or SMG

00:43 to launch the School Activation Programme in primary and secondary schools.

00:48 Themed "Powering the Future", this programme aims to deepen students' understanding of

00:53 the energy sector, current energy generation processes and the importance of transitioning

00:58 towards renewable energy sources.

01:02 The programme includes a series of engaging workshops conducted by MAD facilitators and

01:07 SMG, featuring fun simulation activities and games.

01:12 These workshops are taking place from August to September and are being held at 10 selected

01:17 urban and sub-urban schools in the Klang Valley.

01:20 TNB believes that raising awareness on energy efficiency should start at a young age, and

01:26 based on TNB's experiences over the past 20 years, children are enthusiastic about

01:31 putting it into practice.

01:34 They also share this knowledge with their parents, some of whom may not be aware of

01:38 the best practices, and encourage them to adopt energy-efficient habits.

01:44 The workshops also provide information on electricity safety, as well as TNB's commitment

01:49 to environmental sustainability and the energy transition agenda.

01:54 TNB's ultimate goal is to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and similar compounds in

01:59 the atmosphere, to combat global warming and ensure a better future for the children.

02:05 The "Powering the Future" programme is part of the Malaysian Energy Literacy Programme

02:09 or MELP, which was launched by the Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change

02:14 Minister Nick Nazmi Nick Ahmad in March 2023.
