The NEM3.0 comprises of three initiatives as below:\r\n\uf0a7\tProgram NEM Rakyat (Domestic)\r\n\uf0a7\tProgram NEM GoMEn (Government Ministries and Entities)\r\n\uf0a7\tProgram NOVA (Commercial & Industrial)\r\n\r\n3.0\tThis scheme is regulated by the Energy Commission (EC), with Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Malaysia as the implementing agency. Unlike the previous NEM 2.0 where every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of excess energy was offset from energy bills at a \u201cone-to-one\u201d basis, the NEM 3.0 has a quota of 500MW that is available from 2021 till 2023.\r\n\r\n4.0 NEM GoMEn (Government Ministries and Entities) Program Aimed at\r\n      reducing government building\u2019s energy bills through the use of a solar\r\n      PV system. The energy offset ratio is at 1:1. Roll-over period is for 12\r\n      months. The maximum solar PV system size allowed is 1MWac per\r\n      account. The NEM GoMEn Program has an allocated quota of 100MW\r\n      and starts 1 February 2021 with a 10-year contract term for successful\r\n      applicants.\r\n\r\n5.0 In order to initiate the NEM 3.0 project in MPC, Gading Kencana Sdn\r\n      Bhd, by Dato\u2019 (Dr) Ir. Guntor Tobeng had prepared a proposal to\r\n      assist MPC achieving the needs. In the proposal stated, instead of\r\n      MPC to provide capital upfront, Gading Kencana propose to sign a\r\n      tripartite agreement between MPC, TNB and GKSB called SARE\r\n    (Supplemental Agreement with Renewable Energy) which allow MPC to\r\n     purchase electricity at a lower rate of RM0.35\/kWh compared to the\r\n     current TNB Tariff (higher tier) of RM0.5090\/kWh. This arrangement\r\n     will generate annual saving to MPC by RM30,000 or around \r\n     RM 713,000 for the next 21 years. Therefore, MPC need only to\r\n     pay monthly basis electricity usage to Gading Kencana and no upfront\r\n     needed. Details of the Gading Kencana Proposal is as attached\r\n     (Gading Kencana Sdn Bhd propose Solar PV installation for MPC\r\n     offices & Gading Kencana Sdn Bhd Slide presentation)","permohonan_objective":"1.\tDecrease in Overhead Expenses\r\nGoing solar for MPC can translate into the biggest benefit of reducing overhead costs. This is because MPC probably need power to run everything from fans and lights to computers and other machines or electrical tools. Now, by going solar, MPC will be able to depend less on the grid and fluctuating power tariffs. MPC won\u2019t be affected by the changing costs of non-renewable fossil fuels too. Depending on the number of solar panels MPC choose to use or by how much MPC wish to replace its grid\u2019s supply, MPC can cut overhead costs significantly. Also, as MPC will be generating its own power, MPC will be in control of the costs. This will give more peace of mind.\r\n\r\n2.\tReliable Power Supply\r\nInvesting in solar energy means MPC will always get a reliable and steady supply, no matter what the grid supply is. Since our country receives ample sunlight for most part of the year, MPC panels can capture sufficient solar energy for converting to electricity. MPC can store the electricity generated in batteries (off-grid systems) or share the excess electricity to earn credit via \u201cnet metering\u201d policy at the end of the year (grid-connected solutions). Either way going solar will ensure that productivity is not affected due to poor and erratic power supply.\r\n\r\n3.\tEase of Maintenance \r\nThis is another good reason why it makes sense to invest in solar for companies. Solar panels manufactured by experienced and well-known brands are extremely efficient and are essentially a one-time investment. They are made of the best material available and last for years, in fact 25 years, if MPC choose wisely. Just make sure that MPC get the panels installed by experts who will assess MPC power needs, installation area available and budget before going ahead with the process. Reputed manufacturers also quality-check these panels stringently and in-house before releasing them in the market. Especially, if MPC solar energy system involves no batteries, MPC will need to provide minimal maintenance. \r\n\r\n4.\tLong-term Savings\r\nInvesting in solar energy means saving in the long run, which any business aims at, to become more profitable. The returns on MPC investment keep increasing with every passing year. Since the maintenance cost is minimal as well, MPC gets to set aside more savings to ensure a positive cash flow. This is especially helpful during a crisis or when you need urgent funds to tide overran emergency situation. Ample long-term savings can also make MPC less dependent on loans. \r\n\r\n5.\tEco-friendly and Good for CSR\r\nBy investing in solar energy, MPC business can become more eco-friendly and cause less pollution that is otherwise generated by fossil fuels. MC can make the planet a better place for the future generations, reduce carbon footprint, and also meet Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals better. This will earn special recognition as a \u201cgreen\u201d business and make MPC more attractive to clients, partners and stakeholders.","permohonan_method":"IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MECHANISM OF NET ENERGY METERING 3.0. \r\nKey points of the scheme summarized in the table below:\r\nSource: Ministry of Energy and natural Resource (KeTSA)\r\n\r\n\r\nNEM 3.0\r\nNEM  GoMEn\r\nGovernment Buildings\r\nQuota (MW) = 100\r\nMechanism (Rollover) = NEM 1:1 (12 months)\r\nDate of Quota Commencement= 1st of February 2021\r\nDuration = 3 years\r\nOffset Rate = Current Tariff\r\nOffset Duration = 10 years\r\nSetting After 10 years = Self-Consumption (SELCO)\r\nSystem Capacity = 1 MWac \/ 1 Account\r\n Eligibility Criteria =  Government Body\/Agency\r\n\r\n\r\n\u2022\tMPC can explore the option offered by KeTSA on implementing solar panel using NEW GoMEn incentive.
