Solar ATAP Officially Launches: No Fixed Quota
The Ministry of Energy Transition (PETRA) has officially launched the Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (Solar ATAP) to replace NEM 3.0. The new framework removes the quota limit for applicants and allows Commercial users to export excess energy at the System Marginal Price (SMP). This represents a major policy shift to accelerate Malaysia's renewable energy adoption.
CRESS Program: Third Party Grid Access
The Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) guidelines are now live. This program allows large factories to purchase green electricity directly from solar developers via the national grid (Third Party Access), bypassing roof limitations.
GITA Tax Allowance Merged & Extended
MIDA has confirmed that the Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA) is extended through 2026. Note that "GITA Project" (Own Consumption) is now merged with "GITA Asset", streamlining the application process for businesses claiming the 100% tax allowance.
Solar Capacity Limit Increased to 100%
Under the new Solar ATAP guidelines, commercial and industrial users are now permitted to install solar PV systems up to 100% of their Maximum Demand (MD), an increase from the previous 75% limit.
