In a strategic move designed to enhance operational clarity and market agility, Petronas Gas Bhd is embarking on a significant internal restructuring. The initiative, set to redefine the company’s future trajectory, will distinctly separate its regulated and non-regulated business units, promising a more transparent and focused corporate framework. This reorganization is poised to empower each business segment with greater autonomy and specialized management, ultimately benefiting stakeholders through improved strategic execution.
The restructuring plan, which received board approval in July 2025 and subsequent tax exemption clearance from the Ministry of Finance, involves transferring core operations into dedicated subsidiaries. The gas transportation business will be housed under PG TransCo Sdn Bhd, while gas processing activities will move to PG Gas Processing Sdn Bhd. This clear delineation is intended to allow each entity to better navigate the specific regulatory and competitive landscapes of their respective industries, fostering a more dynamic and responsive operational model.
A central feature of the new structure is the role of PG Energia Sdn Bhd, which will act as the investment holding company for the group’s utilities and energy ventures. This consolidation is expected to unlock significant efficiencies, making these non-regulated businesses more cost-competitive and better equipped to capitalize on emerging market opportunities. The company has assured that this internal reshuffling will not immediately impact its share capital or shareholder structure, with completion targeted for the third quarter of 2026.
Final implementation of the plan is contingent upon securing the green light from shareholders and the High Court, requiring a substantial 75% majority vote. This corporate evolution comes at a time when the company reported a net profit of RM918.98 million for the first half of FY2025, reflecting a slight decrease from the previous year alongside a 2.5% dip in revenue. The restructuring is viewed as a pivotal step to fortify the company’s long-term competitiveness and ensure its continued relevance in a rapidly evolving energy sector.
