Up to 40% Savings on Green Electricity Access for Corporates in Malaysia - Go Solar Now

August 29, 20252 min read

The transition towards renewable energy in Malaysia has taken another major step forward. On 29 August 2025, the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) announced a significant reduction of up to 40% in the System Access Charge (SAC) and Community Access Charge (CAC) for businesses adopting corporate green electricity through two key initiatives:

  • Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS)

  • Community Renewable Energy Aggregation Mechanism (CREAM)

What Does This Mean for Businesses?

Both CRESS and CREAM are designed to give corporations and industries direct access to green electricity from renewable energy developers via the national grid. With the revised charges, companies can now secure renewable power at much more competitive rates, opening new doors for cost savings and sustainability.

Updated Access Charges (Effective 1 July 2025):

  • CRESS: 20 sen/kWh (Firm Supply) | 40 sen/kWh (Non-Firm Supply)

  • CREAM: 9 sen/kWh (Community Access)

Supporting ESG Goals & Malaysia’s Renewable Ambition

This initiative is not just about lower electricity costs—it’s about empowering industries to meet their ESG commitments while supporting Malaysia’s goal of achieving 70% renewable energy capacity by 2050.

By adopting solar and renewable solutions, businesses can:

✅ Lower operating costs
✅ Enhance sustainability credentials
✅ Attract green-conscious investors and customers
✅ Future-proof operations against rising energy costs
