Major Energy Efficiency Initiatives

and Strategies

Existing Policies

National Energy Policy

A simple form of energy policy defined in terms of its objectives Supply objective is to ensure adequate and secure

energy supply at reasonable prices

Utilisation objective is to use energy efficiently and to cut down on wasteful ways of using energy, and

Environmental objective is that in ensuring the achievements of the supply and utilisation objectives, the environment is not degraded adversely

Fifth Fuel Policy - RE

New Energy Related Policies

The policy to phase out incandescent lamps (2011-2013) - Announced on March 2010

Consultant study is underway to formulate the new Energy Policy

To introduce The Renewable Energy Policy and Master Plan

In the process of formulating The Energy Efficiency Policy and Master Plan - expected to be completed in 2010

RE and EE Master Plan – for electricity sector only

Considering to produce electricity from nuclear by 2021

Capacity Development

Malaysia Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement Programme (2000-2005)

Energy Efficiency/Management Trainings and Courses

Endorsement and monitoring of programmes conducted by private companies , industry associations and public organizations.

Present Laws And Regulations

Existing laws (Electricity Supply Acts 1990 and Electricity Regulations 1994) focusing on supply side (generation, transmission, distribution) and safety

Many elements in demand side management

(energy users and electrical equipment ) remain non regulated areas

Introduced and enforce the Efficient Management of Electrical Energy Regulations 2008 – require large energy users to appoint energy manager and submit regular reports

Fiscal Incentives for EE

Products and Projects

Import duties and sales tax exemptions for High Efficiency Motors and insulation materials

Sales tax exemptions for energy efficient products produced by local manufacturers

Investment allowances and pioneer status for energy efficiency projects and Certified Buildings Under Malaysian Green Building Index

posters, competitions, advertisements

Awareness Campaigns And

Promotional Activities

Electronic media:

TV commercials

– EE Refrigerators

– EE at home

– TV and radio interviews, talk-shows and

special appearances

National Energy Month on every November

and EE Carnival

Awareness Campaigns And

Promotional Activities

High efficiency motors

Through MoU with HEM manufacturers, importers and suppliers in 2003 Promoting the use of EFF1 motors

Demonstration projects

Energy Efficient refrigerators

Through MoU with manufacturers and aggressive A&P in 2003 Promoting the use of 5 STAR models

• Data collected from 12 manufacturers

• Capacity up to 24,000 Btu/h

• Date used to establish values for EE Rating System

Market Size

Estimated total quantity at about 650,000

units sold in 2009 for room air

conditioners

Market Survey On EE Label Design: 2004

The Conclusions:

The label designs shown to the respondents

were either reasonably or well understood.

However, the public needs to be educated on

the labels to increase its understanding to

encourage consumers to purchase EE

appliances. This is best conducted through an

A&P campaign

The Way Forward

EE Rating and Labeling

To add more types of electrical equipment under the present voluntary energy efficiency rating and labeling which can be adopted with the introduction of future laws/regulations

To continue working together with industry players in developing EE criteria for more types of electrical equipment

To add at least another 4 new equipment with its EE rating and label in 2010

Legislation

• In the process of drafting the new regulations using the enabling provisions under the existing Electricity Supply Act 1990 to regulate energy performance through MEPS and EE labeling requirements for electrical equipment

• Targets:

– 2010 : preparation and completion of the 1st draft

– 2011: presentation to key stakeholders and to obtain minister’s approval

– To be decided: Introduction and implementation

Fiscal Incentives

To propose to the government to extend the fiscal incentives for EE projects and products beyond 31 December 2010

To propose for the incentives to be enjoyed for all importers

For air conditioners Sales tax about 10%

Import duty about 5%
