Malaysia’s Sustainable Energy Development Authority (Seda) has reported total net-metered PV capacity reached 108 MW at the end of November. The organization said the lion’s share of the figure – 94.14 MW – was deployed in the first 11 months of last year alone. That new project rush came after Malaysia added just 10 kW of rooftop solar in 2016, 2.33 MW in 2017 and 11.53 MW in 2018. Industrial installations account for 75.01 MW of the country’s rooftop generation capacity, with commercial arrays adding a further 25.18 MW. Residential systems added up to 7.67 MW to the end of November and 130 kW of agricultural projects completed the aggregate figure. To qualify for net metering credits for excess electricity exported to the grid, residential systems must have a generation capacity no larger than 12 kWp – for single-phase systems – and 72 kWp for three-phase installations. Commercial and industrial arrays can be either up to 1 MWp or capable of supplying 75% of estimated demand, whichever is lower. One-for-one The growing popularity of net metering, according to Seda, is down to the Net Energy Metering 2.0 program, which permits the sale of excess power to the grid on a one-for-one basis versus grid power kilowatts consumed. Under the previous regime, exported energy carried less value than consumed grid power. “This has managed to reduce the period for return of investment to a mere three years, especially for commercial and industrial installations, which [have] also benefited from the various tax incentives given by the government,” said the authority. However, the popularity of net metering still appears unlikely to be sufficient to achieve Malaysia’s target of hitting 500 MW of generation capacity in the segment this year. Net metering replaced a feed-in tariff incentive scheme in January 2016. In May 2017, Malaysia made the system more attractive. At the end of 2018, the country had around 438 MW of installed solar generation capacity, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency.

Malaysian company Semarak Renewable Energy (RE) and China Hydropower (Malaysia) have signed an agreement to develop Malaysia's first large-scale green hydrogen production project. The project, worth MYR1.88 billion ($398 million), will be located in Perak and will involve the use of floating photovoltaic power generation for green hydrogen production and storage. PowerChina, the subsidiary of China Hydropower, will leverage its expertise in new energy to support Semarak RE in becoming a developer of the green hydrogen energy industry in Malaysia. A recent study by Roland Berger estimates that global hydrogen production will increase to 110 million metric tons per year by 2030, with around 12% of that being green hydrogen produced using renewable energies.Malaysia's first large-scale green hydrogen project will be developed by Semarak Renewable Energy (RE) and China Hydropower (Malaysia).

Malaysia is taking a bold step towards achieving its renewable energy goal of 70% capacity by 2050 with its plans to develop Southeast Asia’s largest solar hybrid facility. The project is being led by the government’s sovereign wealth fund, Khazanah Nasional Bhd., and has attracted global investments totaling 6 billion ringgit ($1.3 billion). As part of the National Energy Transition Roadmap, 10 projects worth 25 billion ringgit have been unveiled, with involvement from Tenaga Nasional Bhd., Sime Darby Property, Malakoff Corp and Petronas.In addition to the renewable energy target, the government is also introducing new regulations to better manage energy-intensive activities. Tenaga will be co-developing solar parks in various states and Malakoff will be burning biomass alongside coal at its Tanjung Bin plant. Sime Darby Property will construct 4.5 MW solar capacity across 450 homes, whilst Petronas will develop a bio-refinery in Johor to produce sustainable aviation fuel, hydro treated vegetable oil and biochemicals. The export ban on renewable energy has been lifted in Malaysia, allowing companies to expand capacity and meet regional demands. What Are Malaysia's Renewable Energy Plans?
