Transmission and distribution (T&D) companies face increasing pressure to optimize asset investments while balancing cost, risk, and performance. As infrastructure ages and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, the ability to make transparent, value-based decisions has become a strategic priority.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how two leading utilities, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and Powerco, are transforming their asset investment planning processes. Ezatul Farita binti Mohd Rosdi, Manager of Asset Investment Planning at TNB, will share how Malaysia’s largest electricity utility is taking steps toward harmonizing portfolio planning across departments to ensure consistency, accountability, and long-term alignment.

Anthony Conning, Investment Optimization Manager at Powerco, will take us through New Zealand’s second-largest electricity distribution utility’s journey from strategic portfolio planning through to asset management execution, leveraging IFS Copperleaf’s decision analytics platform to support transparency and performance optimization.

The session will conclude with a wrap-up from IFS Copperleaf, highlighting key benefits, insights, and best practices applicable to utilities across the region and beyond.
