kWh after second revision in one month — sources
The Malaysian government has revised the national grid system access charge for third-party renewable energy providers to 18 sen/kWh. This decision reverses a previous reduction to 14 sen/kWh, impacting the commercial viability of the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme.
Why it matters
The policy shift creates uncertainty for renewable energy developers and industrial consumers relying on green electricity, potentially slowing the adoption of corporate solar projects.
BURSA SGX Home Energy Make The Edge Malaysia your preferred source on Google KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 14): The government has effectively firmed up the national grid system access charge (SAC) for third parties at 18 sen per kilowatt-hour (kWh), sources told The Edge , in an about-turn less than a month after announcing a cut in the rate to 14 sen/kWh.
The latest rate was revealed during a briefing led by the Energy Commission together with the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (Petra), according to sources.
The SAC is imposed under the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS), a programme that allows renewable energy (RE) developers to sell electricity directly to industrial customers.
Under the scheme, customers pay RE developers for electricity, a portion of which goes to grid owner Tenaga Nasional Bhd (KL: TENAGA ) in the form of SAC for access to the national grid.
