KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 29 — The Green Electricity Tariff Programme (GET) that was introduced to offer electricity from renewable energy sources to consumers will continue in 2024, according to the Energy Transition and Public Utilities Ministry.
It said the programme, which was implemented last year, is part of the government’s ongoing commitment to support the country’s aspirations of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
Under GET, subscribers would be supplied with renewable energy generated from solar and hydropower plants.
They will also receive the internationally certified Malaysia Renewable Energy Certificate (mREC), confirming the electricity supply is from renewable sources.
“Given that GET programme subscriptions will be automatically terminated by Sunday (December 31), the ministry is reviewing and improving its implementation and operations,” said the ministry in a statement today.
Among the improvements included reviewing the premium rates to make them more competitive and attractive, reviewing the GET offer to allow for longer subscriptions, and setting up a priority subscription for existing subscribers.
Details on the offer, implementation, and subscription method will be announced soon after a study and review of the programme.
