Objective of Power System Study (PSS) for Capacity >180kW
PSS is an analysis performed on a TNB system to assess the system performance and to ensure
the following:

1. Technical performance in terms of system reliability, safety and operational efficiency

is not adversely affected. The assessment cover technical impact of following
o Load flow analysis
o Voltage profile
o System adequacy
o System losses
o Fault level
o Protection requirement

2. To facilitate the interface design and interconnection facilities between TNB and RE
plant

The study is pre-requisite for Feed-in Tariff application set by SEDA Malaysia.
PSS Completion Period and Cost (T&O Rules)
Net export capacity or rated kWp, as the case Period of completion Power system study
may be, of renewable energy installation provided under sub-rule costs (in Ringgit
4(2)] Malaysia)
Above 180 kW or 180kWp, and up to and 30 days * 20,000.00 #
including 1MW or 1,000kWp (as the case may be)
Above 1MW or 1,000kWp, and up to and including 30 days * 40,000.00 #
10MW or 10,000kWp (as the case may be)
Above 10MW or 10,000kWp, and up to and 42 days * 60,000.00 #
including 30MW or 30,000kWp (as the case may
be)

An additional period of 10 days shall be granted to the distribution licensee if an insulation co-
ordination study is deemed necessary and carried out by the distribution licensee as part of the
power system study.

# Additional costs of:

1. twenty thousand ringgit shall be paid to the distribution licensee if an insulation co-
ordination study is deemed necessary and carried out by the distribution licensee as part of
the power system study; and
2. ten thousand ringgit shall be paid to the distribution licensee for PV installations where a
dynamic study to determine voltage fluctuations is necessary, where the solar radiation
data is provided by the feed-in approval holder
PSS Application Form

Two set of PSS Form (EG1 Form)

o PSS for Solar
o PSS for non solar

Please email to [email protected]

for PSS Form (EG1 Form) and Guidelines

PSS will be commenced once TNB received

official request plus EG1 Form and
assessment fee made to TNB

Connection Confirmation Check (Capacity between 72kW to 180kW)
Connection Confirmation Check (CCC) is an assessment to determine the optimal
technically feasible method for a proposed connection of a low to medium voltage RE
(solar) installation to a utility connection point.

The CCC assessment is pre-requisite for Feed-in Tariff application set by SEDA Malaysia

Please email to [email protected]

for CCC Form and Guidelines

The CCC process will be commenced once TNB

received official request plus technical drawing
and assessment fee of RM 1,000 made to TNB
