FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions
READ MORE

    3 years 8sen/kWh 18sen/kWh

4. Will I receive a Renewable Energy Certificate by subscribing to GET?

  • GET programme is backed by mREC to give assurance that consumers will receive green electricity that is supported by a credible and globally trusted Renewable Energy Certificate (REC). mREC is the Malaysia Renewable Energy Certificate (mREC) recorded in the form of an e-certificate, representing the environmental attributes of the relevant amount of Green Electricity generated and delivered to the grid, redeemed for the benefit of GET subscribers. mREC is presently using the International REC (I-REC) Standard which is recognised internationally.

5. How do I ensure the source of energy is green if I were to subscribe to GET?

  • You will receive an internationally recognized Malaysian Renewable Energy Certificate (mREC) that provides credibility for your electricity coming from a renewable energy generator. The details of the green energy such as type of RE and volume redeemed to a GET consumer are enclosed in the mREC which can be used as evidence. Besides that, the source of REC is from the RE generators connected to the national grid which makes the claim more credible as compared to off-grid.

6. If I sign up for GET, will my home or business receive electricity generated from renewable energy?

  • Electricity generated by renewable energy is not supplied to a specific home or business. When you subscribe to GET, TNB will match 100% of your subscription of GET from TNB renewable energy instead of using energy from natural gas or coal-fired power plants. This green energy enters the electric system daily and reduces the amount of energy you require from fossil-fuel based power plants.
     
  • The resources for producing electricity for the purpose of the GET Programme will be from the renewable energy resources as determined and approved by the Energy Commission from time to time.

7. Where does the collection from the GET programme go?

  • Income from the implementation of GET program will be used to support the country's energy transition efforts to increase renewable energy capacity such as the implementation of the Solar for Rakyat Scheme (SolaRIS).

8. How will subscribing to GET affect my electricity bill?

  • Consumers who opt for GET subscriptions will pay:

a) Standard applicable tariff rates as per Tariff Schedule for monthly electricity consumption;

and

b) GET premium rate based on GET consumer’s preferred subscription period
 

  • Monthly GET billing will be based on GET subscription or consumer's actual consumption whichever is lower.
  • GET subscription charges will be prorated based on the number of days in the scenario whereby the consumer subscribes to GET in the middle of the billing period.

  • GET billing calculation for Net Energy Metering (NEM) and Malaysia Building Integrated Photovoltaic (MBIPV) consumers are based on NET energy after netting off export energy from solar generation.

  • The following are not taken into consideration when calculating the charges for the GET consumer’s electricity consumption with reference to the subscription of Green Electricity under the GET Programme:

    • any payment to the Renewable Energy Fund established under section 23 of the Renewable Energy Act 2011;
    • power factor surcharges;

Example 4:

  • Example for bill calculation for NEM or MBIPV consumer when net energy of the GET consumer is more than its subscription of green electricity::

Electricity consumption  = 35,176 kWh
Export consumption   = 3,000 kWh
GET Subscription   = 30,000 kWh
GET Start Date   = 01.03.2025
