PUTRAJAYA: The next round of feed-in-tariff (FiT) quota allocation
for homeowners and small-scale renewable energy (RE) projects, that
includes biogas and mini-hydro, will start from May 2.
The Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia (SEDA) will also allow, for the first time, community places such as schools, mosques, churches and welfare homes to apply for FiT quotas.
“We expect to receive about 100 applications from the community category,” Seda chief executive officer Datin Badriyah Abdul Malek told reporters on the sidelines of a briefing.
Previously, this group had to compete for quotas in the commercial category.
Seda has allocated a quota of five megawatts this year for the community category, with maximum size of 24 kilowatts per site.
Seda is offering 65 MW in RE quota for 2014.
More than half of the allocation is reserved for solar. The four RE resources that are eligible for FiT are biogas, biomass, small hydropower and solar photovoltaic.
The FiT programme is funded by electricity consumers who contribute 1% of their total power bill towards the Renewable Energy Fund.
To improve efficiency, the fund plans to stop paying the additional 26 sen per kilowatt incentive that was previously enjoyed by homeowners who replaced their rooftops with special solar panels.
“Seda is seriously considering to totally remove this particular bonus for the installation of solar PV as building materials or also known as building integrated photovoltaic next year,” said chief operating officer Dr Ali Aska Sher Mohamad.
