CRESS Enhancements Open Doors for Renewable Energy in Malaysia

Malaysia’s energy landscape is evolving rapidly, with significant updates to the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) making renewable energy more accessible to businesses and residents. The Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation recently announced enhancements to the program, effective March 1, 2025, which aim to encourage wider adoption of green energy.

Here’s what the changes mean for you and how TERA VA can help you take advantage of this opportunity.

CRESS: Key Changes and Benefits

1. Expanded Access for Existing Power Consumers

Previously, CRESS was limited to new power consumers or existing users who required additional capacity. Now, existing power consumers can transition to renewable energy through third-party providers like TERA VA, making it easier than ever to switch to green energy without major disruptions.

How TERA VA Helps:

TERA VA provides seamless solar panel solutions, guiding businesses and residents in adopting renewable energy systems tailored to their needs.

2. Predictable Wheeling Charges Until 2027

To ensure cost stability, the government has capped System Access Charges (SAC), also known as wheeling charges, for the 2025-2027 regulatory period:

45 sen/kWh for electricity transported from solar farms.
25 sen/kWh if the arrangement includes battery storage.

Why This Matters:

Predictable rates help businesses plan long-term energy budgets. By installing TERA VA’s solar panels, you can reduce reliance on grid electricity and further control your energy costs.

3. Incentives for Corporate Sustainability Goals

With renewable energy now more accessible, corporations can meet their sustainability targets while reducing their carbon footprint. Companies like UEM Lestra and TNB Renewables have already committed to renewable energy supply agreements under CRESS, showcasing the program’s potential.

What This Means for You:

By partnering with TERA VA, your business can become part of Malaysia’s energy transition and enjoy the financial and environmental benefits of going solar.
