# NTEC Secures $100M Malaysia Coal Agreement

Navajo Transitional Energy Company (NTEC) entered a three-year coal supply agreement valued at more than $100 million with Malaysia’s TNB Fuel Services, with coal sourced from Spring Creek Mine in Montana. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office recognized the agreement at an event in Laramie, Wyoming, on October 23, 2026. This is a commercial export agreement, not a government solicitation, but it signals demand for U.S. coal and related export logistics.

- Procurement professionals should distinguish the agreement from a federal contract opportunity; the reported buyer is TNB Fuel Services, not a government agency.
- U.S. coal suppliers and export-logistics firms may find the three-year commitment relevant as a market signal for supply and transportation planning.
- NTEC’s Spring Creek Mine in Montana is the identified source, while TNB Fuel Services is the Malaysian purchaser.
