Hextar's associate company wins RM427.50mil contract

KUALA LUMPUR: Hextar Capital Bhd's (HCB) associate company Transgrid Ventures Sdn Bhd (TGV) has won a RM427.50 million Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) contract to establish a transmission main intake (PMU) 500/275 kilovolt (kV) gas-insulated substation (GIS) in Gurun East, Kedah.
In a Bursa Malaysia filing today, HCB said the contract, effective May 13, 2025, will end 730 days from the commencement date.
"The contract will not have any effect on the issued share capital and shareholding structure of the company. However, it is expected to contribute positively to the company's future earnings and net assets per share upon its commencement," it said.
HCB managing director Johnson Chang said the project marks another strategic milestone for TGV, reinforcing its capabilities in delivering large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure projects within the energy sector.
"It also reflects the confidence that TNB has in our engineering capabilities and further solidifies our role in supporting the national grid and the country's energy development," he added.
Meanwhile, TGV chief executive officer and managing director Datuk Seri Nantha Kumar said it will be the first 500kV GIS project in Malaysia, and TGV is proud to be given the opportunity by TNB to design and build this maiden project.
"It is a significant milestone that reaffirms our capabilities and track record in high-voltage substation infrastructure," he said.
HCB is a diversified company with operations in manufacturing, engineering services and trading, telecommunication network infrastructure solutions, power generation and transmission, construction and project management and money lending.

Air Kelantan to settle RM61 million electricity arrears to TNB in stages

KOTA BARU: The Kelantan government has acknowledged that Air Kelantan Sdn Bhd (Air Kelantan) owes Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) RM61 million in outstanding electricity bills and will settle the amount in stages. State Infrastructure, Water and Rural Development Committee chairman Datuk Dr Izani Husin said the arrears were partly due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the Movement Control Order, which hindered bill collection, coupled with some residents withholding payment during frequent water supply disruptions. "TNB has met with us to discuss possible solutions, but no agreement has been finalised. "We will discuss further to determine a repayment schedule. With Air Kelantan's improved management, we are confident the debt will be cleared according to the agreed timeline," he told reporters after the weekly state executive council meeting at Kompleks Kota Darulnaim today. He added that Air Kelantan had previously settled older electricity arrears according to schedule, but several districts were found to still have outstanding amounts. Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof revealed that Air Kelantan's arrears with TNB had reached about RM61 million as of June 30.
