The Government has introduced the Net Energy Metering Scheme in November 2016 with quota allocation of 500 MW up to year 2020 to encourage Malaysia’s Renewable Energy (RE) uptake. The concept of NEM is that the energy produced from the solar PV installation will be consumed first, and any excess will be exported to TNB at prevailing displaced cost.

As an effort to encourage the NEM uptake, the NEM 2.0 was introduced on 1st January 2019, and the true net energy metering concept was adopted, where it allows excess solar PV generated energy to be exported back to the grid on a “one-on-one” offset basis. The NEM scheme were executed by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (KeTSA), regulated by the Energy Commission (EC), with Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Malaysia as the Implementing Agency (IA). The 500MW quota under the NEM 2.0 has been fully subscribed by 31st December 2020.

Due to overwhelming response from the PV industry and in an effort to boost the usage of Solar energy, the Energy and Natural Resources Minister via a press statement by KeTSA on 29th December 2020 has introduced the new Net Energy Metering 3.0 programme (NEM 3.0) to provide more opportunities to electricity consumers to install solar PV systems on the roofs of their premises to save on their electricity bill. The NEM 3.0 will be in effect from 2021 to 2023 and the total quota allocation is up to 800 MW. The NEM 3.0 will be divided into the following three (3) new initiatives/categories :-

Be a part of the  Net Energy Metering Scheme In Malaysia

In order to encourage the use of renewable energy in Malaysia, the Net Energy Metering Scheme (NEM) was first introduced by the government with a quota of 500 MW allocated up to the year 2020.

This year, the government released NEM 3.0 to continue this initiative with an increased capacity of 800MW, to give users enough quota to use. NEM 3.0 is divided to three categories as per follows:

What is Net Energy Metering (NEM) in Malaysia and What are Its Benefits?

You might be curious about what exactly Net Energy Metering is, and how you can benefit from using it. Let us share with you how! 

The term “Net Energy Metering” (NEM) is a scheme in which the energy generated by a solar photovoltaic (PV) system installed at your premise, will be used first, and then any excess energy generated will be exported back to the grid as credits, provided by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and then used to offset your next electricity bill.

Using net metering in Malaysia will benefit you because it is an alternative for generating electricity from your own solar PV system to offset and reduce your monthly electricity bill.

Solar PV solution providers like us, ensure that your solar PV system is compatible with the energy grid, and  it does not endanger you or anyone else while you maximise your return of investment and savings.
