Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS):
The Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) is a market-based programme that enables corporate electricity consumers to access renewable energy directly from dedicated renewable energy generators through the national grid. By allowing off-site renewable energy to be supplied via regulated grid infrastructure, CRESS provides businesses with a practical pathway to procure clean energy without the need for on-site generation.
CRESS is designed to support corporate sustainability and ESG commitments while operating within Malaysia’s regulated electricity market. It encourages private sector participation in renewable energy development, facilitates greater renewable energy penetration, and ensures grid reliability and operational continuity for corporate consumers.
From a corporate perspective, CRESS offers significant environmental and strategic value. By sourcing renewable electricity at scale, businesses can meaningfully reduce their carbon footprint and advance decarbonisation targets, even in locations where rooftop or on-site solar installations are not feasible. This flexibility allows companies to pursue sustainability objectives without disrupting existing operations or capital infrastructure.
In addition, participation in CRESS enhances corporate ESG credentials and demonstrates a measurable commitment to clean energy adoption. At a national level, CRESS accelerates investment in renewable energy projects, strengthens the clean energy ecosystem, and supports Malaysia’s broader energy transition goals by balancing sustainability, energy security, and grid stability.
Supply Agreement for Renewable Energy (SARE):
The Supply Agreement for Renewable Energy (SARE) programme is a regulatory and contractual framework that governs the connection and operation of renewable energy systems, particularly solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, within Malaysia’s electricity supply network. It defines the technical and operational requirements for safe grid interconnection and compliant energy usage.
Under SARE, renewable energy is primarily consumed on-site, enabling businesses and building owners to reduce reliance on grid electricity and optimise energy costs. Any excess generation is managed in accordance with regulatory guidelines, ensuring system reliability and transparency.
Overall, SARE provides a structured and compliant pathway for solar adoption, supporting greater renewable energy participation while maintaining grid stability and advancing national sustainability goals.
Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA):
A Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) is a long-term agreement that allows corporate consumers to purchase renewable energy directly from a dedicated renewable energy generator at agreed terms. Through a CPPA, businesses can secure access to clean electricity without owning or operating the generation assets.
CPPA enables companies to reduce their carbon footprint, achieve sustainability targets, and gain long-term visibility over energy costs. At the same time, CPPAs support the development of new renewable energy projects, contributing to broader clean energy adoption and national decarbonisation efforts.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs):
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) represent proof that electricity has been generated from renewable energy sources. Each REC corresponds to a specific amount of clean energy produced and can be purchased separately from physical electricity supply.
RECs enable organisations to support renewable energy development and demonstrate progress toward sustainability and decarbonisation goals, even when direct access to renewable power is not feasible.
