Malaysia’s state-run utility firm has signed a two-year energy agreement to transmit electricity from Laos to Singapore, reviving a South-east Asian multilateral power trade deal that had stalled since 2024.

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) in a bourse filing on Jan 14 said the Energy Wheeling Agreement Phase 2, part of a power integration project involving Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, will allow up to 100MW of generation capacity in Laos to supply power to Singapore via Thailand and Malaysia, using existing transmission links.

The first phase of the project was signed in 2022 with a two-year validity period that ended on June 22, 2024.
