INSTEP and ILSAS Strengthen Collaboration to Advance Energy Transition and Workforce Development

Posted date: 21 July 2025

INSTEP recently conducted a courtesy visit to TNB Integrated Learning Solution Sdn Bhd (ILSAS) to explore potential areas of collaboration, particularly in support of Malaysia’s energy transition agenda. 

During the engagement, INSTEP’s Acting CEO and General Manager of Learning Academy, Ts. Azhar bin Ahmad and TNB ILSAS’s Head of Engineering & Energy Technology Centre, Ir. Ts. Yeoh Chien Wern , identified energy transition skills as a shared priority. Ts. Azhar bin Ahmad highlighted a strategic opportunity to jointly contribute toward building future-ready talent and accelerating the national energy transition.

The discussion also touched on key projects such as the PETRONAS-TNB Hybrid Hydrogen and Floating Solar facility project at Tasik Kenyir, which will showcase an integrated end-to-end low carbon value chain.

Additionally, TNB’s Virtual Power Plant initiatives and the peer-to-peer energy trading project in Pengerang, enabling the issuance of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)—were noted as progressive efforts toward a more flexible and decentralized energy system.

The visit served as a platform to rejuvenate earlier conversations held between INSTEP and ILSAS in November 2023. A proposal was tabled to anchor collaboration in several key areas, including energy transition, electrical training, Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), and learning innovation exchange. 

Both parties recognised strong potential for joint content development, co-branding, and co-delivery of training programmes, which could significantly strengthen the national capability pipeline and drive impactful outcomes in the evolving energy landscape.

As the energy sector continues to evolve, through continued collaboration with key industry players such as ILSAS, INSTEP is well-positioned to flourish as a leading talent development institution, committed to driving sustainable growth, empowering energy transition efforts, and advancing national capability development for generations to come.
