What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, Fadillah Yusof, stated that the government will maintain the existing credit mechanism for surplus electricity generated by residential solar panels. This decision rejects proposals to increase Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme credits to 75% or 100% of the retail electricity tariff. Fadillah explained that increasing incentives requires a comprehensive evaluation of financial implications and the risk of cost shifting between solar and non-solar users.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The maintenance of the current offset rate means that the existing program, designed primarily to encourage rooftop installations for self-consumption, remains unchanged. The government noted that the current mechanism allows surplus energy exported to the grid to be used as an offset, subject to program guidelines.
