Frequently Asked Questions for

Green Electricity Tariff (GET) Programme

1. What is Green Electricity Tariff (GET) Programme?

• In line with Malaysian Government's aspiration to increase renewable energy

generation to 31% by 2025, the Government has introduced a new program known as
the Green Electricity Tariff (GET) to replace the existing myGreen+ scheme.

• With the implementation of the GET Programme, the consumers will have an option
to purchase green energy without having to install their own solar rooftop or other
renewable energy installations.

• Consumers enrolled in the GET Programme will receive the Malaysian Renewable
Energy Certificate (mREC) which is recognized internationally at the end of each year

2. Why should I subscribe to GET?

• Subscribing to GET means that supporting environmentally friendly and green agenda
such as to meet your sustainable targets through offsetting electricity’s carbon
emission, and boost “eco-friendly” brand image.

• In addition, you are supporting growth of the renewable energy industries and reduce
reliant on gas or coal-fired power plants.

3. How many GET blocks should I buy?

• It will depend on your sustainability goals. The limit of the GET subscription is up to
your average monthly electricity consumption subject to the quota’s availability.

4. Why GET Programme is backed with internationally recognized mREC?

• GET programme is backed by mREC to give assurance that consumers will receive green
electricity. Consumers enrolled in the GET programme would receive the Malaysia
Renewable Energy Certificate (mREC) which is recognized internationally by 1 month
after the end of each year.

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

• You will receive an internationally recognized Malaysian Renewable Energy Certificate

(mREC) that provides credibility of your electricity coming from a renewable energy
generator. The source of REC is from the RE generators connected to the national grid
that makes the claim more credible as compared to off-grid.

6. Who can subscribe to GET and how much is the rate?

• GET programme is offered to all consumers at the premium rate of 3.7 sen/kWh.
Consumers will pay their normal gazetted tariff plus the premium rate for GET.

• The subscription period is for 1 year. Consumers may opt to increase subscription
quota at anytime during subscription period. For reduction or termination, consumers
may apply before the end of the subscription period.

7. 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 needed from fossil-fuel based power plants. As more consumers
subscribe to GET, the amount of fossil fuel purchases can decrease.

• 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.

8. Where does the collection from GET programme goes to?

• The payment collected from GET programme will be channeled to Malaysian

Electricity Supply Industry Trust Account (MESITA) to support the implementation of
national renewable energy agenda and initiatives.

9. How is the Green Electricity Tariff rate of 3.7 sen/kWh is determined?

• The Green Electricity Tariff Rider (GET) rate is determined by the Energy Commission
based on the incremental cost incurred for the procurement of green energy by the
system, compared to the System Marginal Price (SMP).

• In future, the calculation of the GET rate will be reviewed accordingly by Energy
Commission, should there's any changes in RE prices or as other RE sources become
available.

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

• Consumers who opt for GET subscriptions will pay:

a) Normal tariff as per the Tariff Schedule; and

b) The premium GET rate of 3.7 sen/kWh

2
• Monthly GET billing will be based on GET subscription or consumer's actual
consumption whichever is lower.

• Example for bill calculation when electricity consumption of the GET Consumer is
more than its subscription of green energy:

Example 1:
Electricity consumption = 800,000 kWh
GET subscription = 100,000 kWh
Below is an illustration for the calculation of the sum payable by the GET Consumer:
