mAlAySIAn nAtIonAl Re PolIcy And ActIon PlAn 2010Renewable Energy (RE), as set out in the first column of the Schedule of the RE Act 2011, refers to electricity generated from recurring and non-depleting indigenous resources or technology. The Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA) is the policy maker that is responsible to formulate strategies and undertake planning for electricity supply in the country under the Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) development which is guided by:

· The National Energy Policy (1979)· The 4-Fuel Diversification Policy (1981)· The 5-Fuel Policy (2001)· National Renewable Energy Policy and Action Plan (NREPAP)

The National RE Policy and Action Plan (NREPAP) is the basis towards a more aggressive renewable energy deployment in the country.

the Policy VisionNREPAP aims to enhance utilization of indigenous renewable energy resources to contribute towards national electricity supply security and sustainable socio-economic development.

the objectivesNREPAP is set to accomplish the following objectives:

i. To increase RE contribution in the national power generation mix

ii. To facilitate the growth of the RE industryiii. To ensure reasonable RE generation costsiv. To conserve the environment for future generationv. To enhance awareness on the role and importance

of RE

Five Strategic thrusts5 strategic thrusts have been identified to achieve the 5 objectives:

Thrust 1: Introduce an appropriate regulatory framework

Thrust 2: Create conducive business environment for RE

Thrust 3: Intensify human capital developmentThrust 4: Enhance RE research and developmentThrust 5: Increase public and stakeholder awareness &

RE policy advocacy

Thrust 1 forms the foundation for the remaining strategic thrusts. It involves the enactment of the Renewable Energy Act which mandates the implementation of the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) mechanism.

the Feed-In tARIFF (Fit) mechAnISmThe Renewable Energy (RE) Act 2011, approved by the Government of Malaysia in April 2011 was enforced on 1st December 2011. It comprises 9 Parts and 65 Clauses. It provides for the establishment and implementation of a special tariff system to catalyze the generation of renewable energy and to outline provisions for:

i. FiT mechanism and its implementationii. Establishment of the RE Fundiii. Appointment of SEDA Malaysia as the implementing agency for the FiT mechanism

The FiT is a mechanism that allows electricity produced from indigenous resources to be sold to power utilities at a fixed premium price for a specific duration.

The Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Malaysia is given the responsibility to promote widespread deployment of RE resources via the FiT mechanism authorized by the government. The FiT mechanism is managed and administered by SEDA Malaysia.

TNB assumes the role of the Distribution Licensee (DL) which is responsible to facilitate RE project applications in terms of connection availability, connectivity, contract binding, testing and commissioning, payment to FiAHs, and to act as a collection agent for the RE Fund.

The role of Energy Commission is to approve and issue the Generation License to RE producers generating more than 72kW.

The overall FiT mechanism of its administration is illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Feed-in Tariff (FiT) Mechanism in Malaysia


Features of the Feed-in tariff (Fit)The FiT rates are categorized by RE technologies, installed capacities and bonus FiT rates. The FiT rates for some RE technologies will decline each year according to their respective degression rates.

Degression rate is the reduction of the FiT rates introduced by SEDA Malaysia on annual basis or when the current situation warrants it.

Table 1 below illustrates the FiT duration, FiT rate range and annual degression by technologies since year 2012.

The detailed current FiT rates and quota for each RE technology can be accessed via SEDA Malaysia website.

key Success Factors for the Feed-in tariff (Fit)The success of the FiT in Malaysia shall depend on several key success factors as guaranteed by the RE Act 2011:

i. Access to the grid is guaranteed – Distribution Licensees are legally obliged to accept all electricity generated by RE private producers

ii. Approval procedures are streamlined and clear

iii. FiT rates are:

• High enough to produce return of investment and reasonable profit• Fixed for a period to give certainty and to provide a clear investment environment• Adequate degression to promote cost reduction to achieve grid parity (the time at which the FiT rate

applicable to renewable energy installation is equal to or cheaper than the displaced cost)

technology Fit duration Range of Fit Rates (Rm/kwh)

Annual degression

Renewable energy (Re) targets for malaysiaRenewable energy development in Malaysia has been mentioned in several Malaysia Plans. Table 2 illustrates the targets set by the Government for RE development in Malaysia.

Funding for Feed-in tariff (Fit)The RE Fund was established in April 2011 in line with the Renewable Energy Act which is set to support the national renewable energy development.

The Government imposed a 1% charge on each consumer electricity bill for the Renewable Energy Fund (RE Fund), also known as Dana Kumpulan Wang Tenaga Boleh Baharu (KWTBB), made effective on 1st December 2011. However, starting from 1st January 2014, the charge has been increased from 1.0% to 1.6%. The percentage imposed for RE Fund is subject to the approval by the Malaysian Government.

All electricity consumers will be imposed a fee of 1.6% on their electricity bills for the RE Fund except for residential consumers that utilize electricity less than and including 300kWh. Figure 2 is a sample of TNB Bill showing the RE Fund (KWTBB) amount charged.

The amount collected from electricity consumer bills will be remitted to SEDA Malaysia in accordance with subsection 24 (1) of the RE Act 2011 in Paragraph 3 (1) which states that Distribution Licensee shall pay into the RE Fund every month the equivalent of 1.6% of the electricity tariff levied and collected from electricity consumers in Peninsular Malaysia.

Table 2: RE Capacity Targets (MW)


The calculation method of RE Fund (KWTBB) is as follows: Before 1st January 2014: KWTBB = [(kWh + kW) - Discount] x 1.0%

1st January 2014 onwards: KWTBB = [(kWh + kW) - Discount] x 1.6%

* Discounts – Only applicable for eligible category of users such as houses of worship, schools, welfare centers, mines, etc.

* GST applies to FiAHs that are registered with Royal Malaysian Customs Department and TNB

RenewABle eneRgy (Re) technologIeSBiogasBiogas is defined as anaerobically digested (broken down by micro-organisms in the absence of oxygen) to produce a flammable gas (primarily a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide) that can then be used for heat or electricity generation. This method of energy generation is widely used in the agricultural sector.

Plants may vary in scale from small schemes treating waste from one farm to larger, more centralised facilities that processes waste from several farms to industrial-scale plants designed to handle very large quantities of farm slurry, sewage sludge and municipal solid waste.

Biomass refers to the energy locked within living or recently living plant or animal matter. Biomass may come in the form of logs, pellets or chips and is usually burnt in a conventional boiler, a combined heat and power unit or using more advanced thermal conversion technologies to produce heat and/or make steam that drives a turbine to produce electricity. Small or community-scale biomass plants convert renewable

biomass fuels to heat and electricity similar to the fossil-fuels fired power plants. Typically, such plants comprise of boiler, a flue and connecting pipework, turbine and generator.

Figures 4 and Figure 5 show six types of sources of biomass that generate energy for various applications and biomass plant.

Figure 4: Sources of Biomass

Figure 5: Biomass PlantSource: Maju Intan Biomass Energy Sdn. Bhd.

The most common sources of biomass include:

1. Wood and waste wood: Wood is the most com-monly used type of biomass. Since early days, wood has been used for cooking and heating. At present, this biomass material is still a major source of ener-gy in a number of developing countries.

2. Leaves of plants: In densely planted places, lots of leaves fall from the trees. These can be dried, pow-dered and converted into small pieces, which can be used as biomass fuel to generate heat or electricity.

3. Agricultural waste: Waste materials obtained from farms are a great source of biomass materials. Live-stock waste can also be used to generate methane gas.

4. Municipal solid waste (MSW): MSW, also called ur-ban solid waste, is a type of waste that includes pre-dominantly solid or semisolid household waste (do-mestic waste) and sometimes commercial wastes that are collected by a municipality within a given area. MSW does not include industrial hazardous wastes.

5. Empty fruit bunch (EFB): One of the most signifi-cant by-products of the palm oil milling process is the empty fruit bunch. Previously, palm oil mills burned the empty fruit bunch and used the ash as fertilizer. Now it is one of the main fuel sources in biomass plant.

Small hydropowerHydropower describes the energy harnessed from falling or running water. A small, domestic-based or community-scale hydropower scheme cannot function without a water source with sufficient flow to turn a turbine. A hydropower plant as shown in Figure 6 typically comprises a hydroelectric generator positioned in the watercourse, housing for the turbine, transmission equipment as well as connecting pipework to direct the flow of water. Small plants may generate anything from a few hundred watts (domestic schemes) to a maximum of 30MW (commercial schemes).

Solar Photovoltaic (PV)Solar power is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available. Photovoltaic is a method of generating an electric current by exposing semiconducting material to light.

There are many types of solar PV panels with different characteristics such as crystalline cells, thin film and hybrid. Dozens of individual PV cells are interconnected together to form a PV module. To achieve the desired voltage and current, PV modules are wired in series and made parallel into what is called a PV array. They can be connected together to form both roof and ground mounted arrays that may cover anything from several to hundreds of square meters. Figure 7 shows an example of a solar plant layout whereas Figure 8 depicts the connection of a solar installation to the LV distribution grid.

connection confirmation check (ccc) ApplicationConnection Confirmation Check (CCC) is an assessment to determine the connection point of RE installation to a low voltage distribution network. It is assessed in terms of the nearest connection point to the RE installation and the feasibility of connection to the network.

The assessment is a prerequisite for RE installation with a generation capacity of more than 12kW up to and including 425kW.

The overall Connection Confirmation Check Application (CCC) follows a systematic process as illustrated below:

1. The submission of a complete CCC application form (Appendix 1) must be accompanied by a cover letter from the Service Provider/Electrical Consultant and a set of documents listed below:

» Key, site and location plan (to include coordinates of RE plant) marked with the nearest proposed connection point

» Interconnection single line diagram » Solar PV schematic » Solar PV module data sheet » Inverter data sheet » A copy of electricity bill (for existing building) » Customer Master Data Form » CD (contains all above documents)

Note: These forms are subject to change without prior notice, and the eligible RE Producer may reconfirm the latest version of the CCC forms with SEDS.

2. Upon receipt of the complete CCC application, SEDS will check all the documents received to ensure compliance with the TNB RE interconnection requirements. All drawings must be endorsed by a Professional Engineer or Competent Person, whichever applicable.

3. A rechargeable job order (RJO) invoice as depicted in Appendix 2 for the CCC fee (subject to applicable government tax) will be created and issued to the eligible RE producers once their CCC submission is completed.
