3 July 2023 - In collaboration with Persatuan Rekreasi dan Bimbingan Alam Semulajadi Selangor (Sarang), TNB Renewables Sdn. Bhd. (TRe) embarks on birds identification initiative at LSS Sepang Solar.

Findings of the effort was performed during "Hari Hargai Alam" held at TNB Sepang Solar Sdn. Bhd.'s (TSS's) 50MW's solar farm at Kampung Labohan Dagang, Kuala Langat on 3 July 2023. Altogether, there are 28 birds species found at LSS Sepang, consists of 25 resident species and 3 migratory species. Local species include White Throated Kingfisher, Crested Serpent Eagle, Blue Tailed Bee Eater, and Red Wattled Lapwing, to name a few, while Pheasant Tailed Jacana, Lesser Whistling Duck and Long Tailed Shrike are those of migratory species. Also present was En. Ismail Hj Mamat a senior and an expert of avians from PERHILITAN who gave explanation on characteristics of birds, traits of identification, and ethics of birds watching, among other exciting topics.

According to En. Muhammad Atif bin Mohd Fared, an Asset Manager of TRe, this initiative is carried out as an early effort to manage potential disruption to TSS’s operation whenever some birds’ population increase in future. Birds’ droppings can create hot spots on solar panel’s glass surfaces. It can also corrode equipment’s metal surfaces, etc. This cataloguing effort is considered as a baseline data, more of identifying birds species available at site and their behaviour. Should the need arise in future to manage the droppings, or other factors, appropriate anthropogenic measures can be devised in harmony suiting specie’s attributes.
TRe’s “Hari Hargai Alam” ended with a sharing session among participants on peculiarities of creations in nature, in terms of its process, function and strategy, which are sophisticated, intelligent and sustainable, fit to be inspired and emulated as design solutions to our worldly problems.

TNB Renewables & ILSAS bekerjasama menyahut seruan kerajaan dalam menjayakan Malaysia Energy Literacy Programme (MELP) bersama-sama Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bukit Changgang, Banting, Selangor. Seramai 21 orang pelajar dalam aliran sains tingkatan 4 & 5 serta 4 orang guru pengiring menyertai program tersebut yang diadakan di TNB Sepang Solar (TSS) pada 27 Jun 2023 baru-baru ini.  

Program yang dijalankan adalah seperti penerangan jenis tenaga boleh diperbaharui, sumber tenaga, teknologi, kelebihan dan keburukan antara jenis tenaga. Selain itu, beberapa permainan secara talian, permainan animasi dan kuiz dijalankan bagi menguji kefahaman setiap peserta sepanjang program berlangsung. 

Sesi tambahan, pelajar juga diberi taklimat mengenai faktor dalam menentukan tenaga mampan, peluang kerjaya dalam Renewables Energy (RE), serta pandangan dunia mengenai tentang alam semula jadi dan industri RE. Selepas itu, semua peserta dibawa ke lawatan tapak di TSS untuk menimba pengalaman dan melihat sendiri dengan lebih dekat bagaimana ladang solar menjana elektrik dan bagaimana ia berfungsi.  

Four TRe staff from Asset Management unit has participated as guest speakers to YTN’s “Inspiring Better Brighter Future” program held at Park Avenue Hotel, Sg. Petani on 28 – 31 May 2023.
 
This program was participated mainly by about 180 Form 5 students throughout Malaysia as a dedicated program for 2023’s SPM preparation. Derived from Malaysia’s Energy Literacy Program’s learning module, TRe gave talk on topics like renewable energy types, source, technology, advantages and disadvantages between energy types. LSS Bukit Selambau was taken as a case study, to expose the students in terms of project development and solar technology.

As value-added take-aways, students were also briefed on factors in determining sustainable energy, career opportunities in RE, as well as the right worldview on nature and RE industry. The sharing session was also equipped with mini exhibition on RE technology, performance monitoring method, asset maintenance tools and equipment, with some video presentations.

The session ended with a short quiz testing the students’ understanding on the knowledge they acquired that day in a fun manner.

The collaborations with Vietnam’s Saigon Gia Dinh Electric and North Power Service, and Electricite Du Laos last week are in line with TNB’s goal to be a renewable energy (RE) hub for Asean, cut electricity wastage and achieve Malaysia’s goal of net zero carbon emission by 2050.

TNB CEO, Datuk Baharin Din said, the TRe-EHCMC MoU aims to explore technological opportunities in renewables energy in Vietnam, while the MoU TNB Remaco-EVNNPS for collaborative and cooperation for service work related to potential energy in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar as well Thailand.
