    ABOUT NET ENERGY METERING (NEM)

    Introduced to encourage Malaysia’s Renewable Energy (RE) uptake, the concept of NEM was changed from the existing net billing to true net energy metering. The NEM scheme was made effective on 1 st January 2019, by the Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change (MESTECC), regulated by the Energy Commission (EC), with Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Malaysia as the implementing agency.

    This means that every 1kWh exported to the grid will be offset against 1kWh consumed from the grid. NEM has a quota allocation of up to 500 MW till the end of 2020, which are divided into the domestic and non-domestic sectors as the following:

    • Residential
    • Commercial
    • Industrial
    • Agricultural

    This scheme is only applicable in Peninsular Malaysia and applicants must be registered as TNB customers.

    HOW NEM WORKS?

    NEM allows users to benefit from solar PV energy. The solar energy generated will be consumed by your building first and the excess energy will be exported into the national grid to offset your TNB bill.

    The excess energy will be recorded in credit form by a bi-directional meter and the energy credit will then be offset on a “one-on-one” basis per kWh unit. The validity period for this energy credit is 24 months.

    WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR NEM?

    You can apply for this scheme if you are:

    • Eligible Consumer: One who is a consumer of the Distribution licensee who has not been blacklisted in its system for reasons such as not paying the electricity bill, committed an offence and more.
    • Registered Consumer of the Distribution Licensee in Peninsular Malaysia only.
    • Not a delinquent who has not paid their bills or a pending meter tampering case.
    • Subscribers of the following tariff:
      • Industrial
      • Commercial (Including government owned structure)
      • Residential/ Domestic
      • Agricultural
    • Electricity shall only be generated from solar photovoltaic (PV). Other forms of renewable energy such as biogas, biomass or micro hydro may be allowed by the Commission on a case-by-case basis.

    ABOUT SELF-CONSUMPTION (SELCO)

    HOW SELCO WORKS:

    When you install a solar PV system onto your own rooftop and fully utilize all the solar energy generated from it, it will be considered as SELCO in which any excess will not be exported to the grid, according to the guidelines of the Electricity Supply Act 1990.

    MESTECC encourages consumers in the residential, commercial and industrial sector to install solar PV for their self-consumption in order to reduce the overall energy consumption.

    Under the Electricity Supply Act 1990, you can refer to the application guidelines for self-consumption:

    • Any person who uses, works or operates any solar PV generating facility for self-consumption and indirect connection to the licensee distribution network in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah
    • The relevant Distribution Licensee (DL) whose network is to relate to the self-consumption solar PV generating facility.

    ABOUT LARGE SCALE SOLAR (LSS)

    Large Scale Solar or known as LSS is a competitive bidding programme to drive down the Levelized Cost of Energy  (LCOE) for the development of large scale solar (LSS) photovoltaic plant and Energy Commission is the implementing agency for this scheme.

    HOW LSS WORKS:

    For individuals who are looking to develop a large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) plant for connection to electricity networks will need to ensure their capacity is approved by the Energy Commission connected to either the Transmission Network or Distribution Network in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah or Labuan.

    Under Section 50C-The Electricity Supply Act 1990 (Act) [Act 447], the Energy Commission has issued the guidelines on large-scale solar PV plants for connection to electricity networks:

    The Guidelines Apply to:

    • Any person who has been given the right by the Commission to develop large-scale solar power plant and seeking connection to the transmission and distribution electricity network with a capacity as reflected in the Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Commission.
    • The relevant licensee, whose network is to be connected with the Large-Scale Solar (LSS) power plant;
    • The Single Buyer or relevant distribution licensee who manage the contractual arrangement for the sale and purchase of electricity through the network; and Guidelines on Large Scale Solar 2 Photovoltaic Plant for Connection to Electricity Networks GP/ST/No.1/2016 (Pin. 2019)
    • The grid system operator and distribution system operator.

    These Guidelines are not applicable to large-scale solar power plants which have been given the right through Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Malaysia to develop the plant under FiT scheme.

    WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR LSS?

    If you are participating in the LSS program, here are the key principles of the LSS framework by the Energy Commission:

    1. 1) A local company of which the Malaysian equity interest in such local company is at least 51% / a consortium of legal entities with a minimum of one local company that has a Malaysian equity interest in the consortium of at least 51%.
    2. 2) The land used for the LSS power plant may also be optimised for other economic activities (e.g.: agricultural) and not restricted only to solar energy generation and may carry certain merit points.
    3. 3) The plant capacity range for LSS power plant as specified in the RFP.
    4. 4) The connection to the electricity network, (either the Transmission Network or Distribution Network), shall be based on technical criteria and evaluation through a comprehensive system study.
    5. 5) The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) shall be based on take and pay, energy only under Build, Own and Operate (BOO) concession.
    6. 6) The LSS power plant may be a combination of several solar farms from different sites from one single Shortlisted Bidder and arising out of the same submission of RFP and connected to one Interconnection Point, whereby a single PPA with one Energy Rate shall be applied.

    8. 8) The offers by the Shortlisted Bidders shall be based on the optimum output, final yield and specific yield of the proposed LSS power plant in accordance with the design and technology used.
    9. 9) The LSS developer shall declare the plant’s energy production for 21 years. In the PPA, the LSS developer is entitled to be paid the Energy Rate up to the LSS power plant’s Maximum Annual Allowable Quantity (MAAQ). Any energy beyond MAAQ, if accepted by TNB or SESB, shall be paid at the Excess Energy Rate.
    10. 10) The Energy Rate shall include but are not limited to the following:
