KUCHING: The Ministry of Utility and Telecommunication has been instructed to review and update the relevant Ordinances to ensure it is aligned with the state’s sustainable energy initiative.
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the state attorney-general would determine the necessary amendments needed for the Ordinances.
He told reporters this after launching the Green Energy Symposium and Exhibition 2023 held at Centexs here, yesterday (June 7).
He was asked on whether the Net Energy Metering (NEM) scheme rolled out by Sarawak Energy would allow solar photovoltaic (PV) system installed on houses to generate electricity that covers 100 per cent of a household’s consumption.
The PV system’s capacity of 20 kilowatt peak (kWp) for a three-phase system is only allowed to generate energy not exceeding 75 per cent of the average consumption for the past 12 months.
The NEM scheme is a billing mechanism for solar PV users to generate and export electricity back to the electricity grid based on one-on-one offset balancing.
