Kumpulan Melaka to build second Solar PV farm this year

We have nothing but admiration for Melaka's determination and quest for more energy generated from renewable sources. Latest in its list of green technology initiative is the proposed RM20 mil second solar farm.

Last year, Kumpulan Melaka Berhad opened the country's first state-owned solar farm. The 5 MW solar photovoltaic farm involved an investment of about RM46 million.

Note:
The solar farm was created in three phases: The first (1.3MW) was completed in April 2013, second phase (1.22MW) in May 2013 and the final phase of 2.48MW was completed in August 2013.




Second solar farm to cost RM20 million

Kumpulan Melaka Bhd is investing approximately RM20 million to build and operate its second solar farm in Melaka this year.

Technical Manager KhairulEzuan Harun said the new solar farm is projected to have two megawatts (MWp) of solar photovoltaic (PV) sprawled on 2.8 hectares.

The solar valley would apply solar energy as the primary alternative activities for all sectors which would encompass land development, research, innovation and commercialisation, he said.

"However, the solar farm project is also subject to Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia (SEDA) quota as they need to get more funds," he told Bernama.

SEDA will set a quota on the amount of solar power systems that can be installed in every six months. KhairulEzuan said SEDA has yet to announce when the new quota will be released but once the quota is unveiled, the group will proceed with the project.

All power generated by the solar farm will be sold to power giant Tenaga Nasional Bhd, and the electricity will be channelled directly into the National Power Grid.

Late last year, the Melaka state government launched the first state-owned 5MWp solar PV farm in the country, which cost RM46 million. The solar farm, built on a 7.2ha site at the Rembia Industrial Park is one of the five key projects realising Melaka's ambition to become a green technology city-state by 2020.

The park was created in three phases. The first phase, to produce 1.3MW electricity, was completed in April last year, followed by 1.22MW electricity under the second phase in May last year and the final phase of 2.48MW in August last year.

The first solar farm in Melaka, which is expected to create 45,000 jobs, is poised to contribute a total of RM118 million of gross national income for 21 years, he added. - Sourced from: Bernama, January 30, 2014.


TheGreenMechanics' two cents:

The date for the release and volume of the new renewable energy quota for 2014 under the FIT programme will be announced by SEDA next month, during the International Sustainable Energy Summit.

Big RE players such as Kumpulan Melaka, Cypark, etc., would be eyeing for big chunk of the pie but let's hope everyone has equal chance of getting the cut. The non-individual quota is the one that would be snapped up as soon as it is announced. 

There should be mechanism in place to enable more organisations to take part in the green technology initiative. Attempt by some to win big quota and then distributing them to others in umbrella concept must be curtailed.

SEDA responded to concerns raised on the revised 1.6% surcharge

This is an excerpt of the press statement by Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Malaysia in respond to the concerns raised by YB Mr. Lim Guan Eng, the Chief Minister of Penang and YB Dr Ong Kian Ming, a Member of Parliament for Serdang, on the achievements by SEDA Malaysia to justify the revision of the surcharge on electricity bills for renewable energy (RE) fund from 1.0% to 1.6%.


Beginning January 1 next year, consumers in Peninsula Malaysia, Sabah and Labuan will be levied with 1.6% surcharge in their electricity bills.


Effective date of the revised rate

The revised surcharge is effective from 1st January 2014 and affects electricity consumers of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB); however domestic consumers with 300 kWh and less of electricity usage per month are exempted from such contribution.


Achievement and milestones

According to the CEO of SEDA Malaysia Datin Badriyah Abdul Malek, since the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) mechanism was implemented on the 1st December 2011, 2,686 applications have been approved out of which 89.1% of the applications were for solar photovoltaic (PV) for the individuals, 8.9% for solar PV for non-individuals and 2% collectively for biomass, biogas, and small hydro.

SEDA Malaysia has approved RE capacity of 482 MW (expected to achieve commercial operation by 2015), comprising:

Solar PV      - 40.2%
Biomass      - 27.7%
Small hydro  - 27.2%
Biogas         - 4.9%

Under the previous Small Renewable Energy Power (SREP) programme which was launched on 11th May 2001, only 61.2 MW of RE capacity was connected to the grid as at the end of 2010. Hence, the FiT mechanism which has been operational for only 2 years has achieved more RE capacity than the previous SREP which spanned nearly a decade.


Justification

By 2014, the projected job creation for the RE industry under the FiT programme is 11,412 whilst the total investment on the approved RE capacity is estimated to be RM 7.3 billion. Citing the solar PV industry as an example, in 2006, there were only 8 PV service providers in the country providing grid connected PV services. Today, more than 100 PV service providers have emerged in Peninsular Malaysia alone. With the opening of the FiT to Sabah and FT Labuan, SEDA expects the solar PV service providers to grow in numbers in the coming years.

The RE targets meted out under the National RE Policy and Action Plan was on the basis of collection of 2% surcharge imposed on electricity bills. SEDA said that for the past 2 years, only 1% surcharge was collected and without a revision of the surcharge, the RE industry and market growth in the country under the FiT will come to a grinding halt.


The Green Mechanics' 2 cents:

So, the RE targets in the National RE Policy was based on collection of 2% surcharge imposed on electricity bills? Why then the consumers alone are made to shoulder the burden? I have said my piece of mind before and I will say it again:-

The current 1% surcharge is correct and sufficient. The government just need to top it up with another 1% to make the endeavour a joint participation by both the government and the public. If SEDA revise the rate to 1.6%, the government should match it with 1.6%.

Furthermore, SEDA was not transparent (or perhaps overlooked) in giving out facts and figures in its press statement, especially the revolving fund size and the the projected amount it needed to keep the RE industry going. If I was asked to donate to certain organisation, I'd need to know where my money is going, and how much money is already in the organisation's coffer.

Would you not ask questions if your brother asks for certain amount of money, even if you could afford it?

SEDA Malaysia announced final release of 1,500kW Solar PV quota for Individuals

Rooftop solar PV. Image credit: Green Remodel Forum


Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia (SEDA Malaysia) announced the release of 1,500kW of solar photovoltaic (PV) quota for the individuals in three batches.

The quota for individual under the Solar Home Rooftop Programme will be released at noon on:-
  • 28th August 2013 (Wednesday)       - 500kW
  • 4th September 2013 (Wednesday)   - 500kW
  • 11th September 2013 (Wednesday) - 500kW

After 11th September 2013, there will be no more release of any solar PV quota for the individuals because it is not realistic for these individual Feed-In Approvals Holders (FiAHs) to be able to achieve commercial operation of their PV system by year end.

Any renewable energy projects which are supposed to achieve commercial operation by this year and fails to do so will incur further degression to their FiT rate as stipulated in their Feed-In Approval (FiA) certificate. It is thus important for all FiAHs to note for solar PV for the individuals, the degression rate is 8% whilst for the non-individuals, it is 20%.


Preventing potential abuse

In order to prevent any potential abuse of solar PV quota for the individuals, effective 28th August 2013, the solar PV quota for the individual will be applicable only for residential premises under individual names only.

However applicants who are applying as an enterprise/sole proprietor/partnership for buildings or premises registered under individual names will also be allowed to apply for a FiA under the individual quota.


Useful reminder

SEDA Malaysia reminds all interested FiA applicants to comply with all the requirements during application as follows:
  1. Ensure all information submitted through the e-FiT online system is accurate, clear and precise as any ambiguity may result in automatic refusal;
  2. Declaration form must be uploaded to the e-FiT online system within three (3) calendar days from the application date; and
  3. The hardcopy of the declaration form and proof of payment of application and processing fees must be received by SEDA Malaysia within seven (7) calendar days from the application date.

TheGreenMechanics: According to SEDA Malaysia, as at end of July 2013, it has approved renewable energy capacity is 509.75 MW but so far only 112.44 MW is connected to the grid. We are a bit slow in implementing approved projects!

SEDA release 20MW FiT quota for non-individual solar PV

An update on solar PV (and other FiT approved RE) in Malaysia.

After seeing the non-individual Solar PV quota being snapped within less than an hour at the launching in December last year, SEDA recently announced the opening of another 20MW of FiT quota.

This would be for installation size of less than 500kW and for scheduled commissioning in 2013. Application starts on Dec 17, 2012.

As of September 2012:-

Approved applications:                          Installed capacity:
Solar PV (individual)          - 362                156.65 MW
Solar PV (non-individual)   - 133                9.86 MW
Biogas                             - 13                 20.53 MW
Small hydro                     -  14                 86.05 MW
Biomass                          - 13                 131.40 MW

TOTAL APPROVED INSTALLED CAPACITY = 404.49 MW

The over 400MW of renewable energy is a good start but I am quite sceptical about the authority's ability complete and commission them within the stipulated time frame.

SEDA ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF 20MW
via The Star
PUTRAJAYA: Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia (Seda Malaysia) is opening 20MW of non-individual solar photovoltaic (PV) feed-in tariff (FiT) quotas for installation (less than 500kW) and will be made available for projects to be commissioned next year.

Seda Malaysia chairman Tan Sri Dr Fong Chan Onn said the application could be made through the e-fit online System at www.efit.seda.gov.my beginning Dec 17 this year. He said applicants must comply with the Renewable Energy Act 2011 and also the Renewable Energy (feed-in approval and FiT rate) Rules 2011.

”The new degression rate for solar PV is set at between 8% and 15%. The rate will be finalised and approved by the Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister, which will be enforced next year,” he said at a press conference after the opening ceremony of the International Sustainable Energy Summit 2012.

Fong said the quota for installation larger than 500kW would be announced next year.

Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry secretary-general Datuk Loo Took Gee represented Minister Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui at the opening of the two-day event, themed “Empowering Nations via Sustainable Energy”.

With the implementation of the FiT mechanism on Dec 1 last year, Fong said Seda Malaysia would continuously strive to provide awareness to the public on any updates pertaining to the FiT mechanism implementation.

As of end-September this year, he said Seda Malaysia had received a total of 1,090 feed-in approval applications and approved a total of 535 applications. He said the approved applications from solar PV for the individuals ranked the highest with 362 applications, followed by solar PV for non-individuals (133).

”The number of approved applications for biogas is 13, small hydro 14 and biomass 13. In terms of installed capacity, a total of 404.49MW has been approved, of which 156.65MW is for solar PV for the non-individuals, 131.4MW for biomass, 86.05MW for small hydro, 20.53MW for biogas and 9.86MW for solar PV for the individuals.

”From all these, some 1,684 GWhr per year of energy will be generated enough to power 467,000 homes and avoid 1.16 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

SOGO saves RM80,000 in energy by replacing old chillers

Attention hotels, shopping malls, universities. This has got to be a very interesting read, and action.

A departmental store in Kuala Lumpur, SOGO, will be saving about RM80,000 monthly in energy bill when the new chillers are fully operating. The store spent more than RM3 million to replace 4 chillers and qualified for a RM260,000 rebate. Going by the RM80,000 saving the simple payback should be 3 and a half to 4 years, excluding the rebate. Cool!

For more info, go to the website provided here.


Energy Efficiency, via SAVE Program

SAVE or Sustainability Achieved via Energy Efficiency, is a program spearheaded by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA), to improve energy efficiency in Malaysia through several initiatives. One of them is the pilot initiative is to stimulate sales of energy-efficient chiller by providing rebates to qualified business owner to replace existing chillers with new energy efficient ones.


Objectives of the SAVE Program
  1. To create a culture of efficient use of energy among general public and business entities.
  2. To save daily energy costs by consumers from reduced energy consumption and manage growth energy demand.
  3. To accelerate the transformation of consumer electrical appliances market and increase the share of Energy Efficient models in the market.
  4. As one of the initiatives to mitigate GHG emissions reduction.

What's in store for those willing to take it up

The government of Malaysia has allocated the budget for the Chiller SAVE Program and funding will be awarded on a first come, first served basis to eligible business owners who replace existing chillers with new energy efficient chillers for their buildings during the rebate offer period.

The rebate amount will be RM200 per RT (Refrigeration Ton) which has been proposed and calculated based on total budget allocation and capacity to be applied throughout 2011 and 2012. This is not including the added bonus of saving through lesser energy consumption, and the lower maintenance for newer equipment.

SOGO to save RM880,000 in electricity bills by replacing old chillers
Bernama, Nov 15, 2012

Kuala Lumpur. SOGO Department Store Sdn Bhd has managed to save up to RM80,000 monthly in electricity bills, by replacing its old chillers with new energy-efficient units. Sogo Building M&E Department Senior Manager Yong Yau Wah said the decision on the chillers was made at the right time as the government is providing a rebate to encourage the use of energy-efficient products.

"Our consultant informed us about this programme. At the same time, we are also in the green initiative programme," he told Bernama.

He said the company needed to undertake the replacement as the four chillers were already 20 years old.

When the government introduced the green building concept, SOGO also tried to obtain certification for its building, but could not, as the premises is considered old. "But we knew we can still support the green initiative. The first thing we took into consideration was the chillers, as over the years, technology wise, this is where we think we consume the most energy," Yong said.

For chillers, the government, through the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) and under the Sustainability Achieved Via Energy Efficient (SAVE) programme, is giving a rebate of RM200 per RT (Refrigeration Ton) for companies for replacement. Yong said SOGO invested more than RM3 million to replace the four aged chillers and was entitled to a rebate of RM260,000.

He said currently, it took seven chillers to cool the shopping complex, and the other three are expected to be replaced in early 2014.

"On average, we expect to save between RM75,000 to RM80,000 in electricity bills monthly, which translates to nine per cent savings, when compared to previously. "The initial cost is high. But looking at long term planning, we can reduce the operations and maintenance costs. We hope the rebate programme can be extended to other equipment.

"It should be promoted broadly so that more people want to participate," added Yong. Meanwhile, SEDA Deputy Director of Corporate Communications, Nurdiyana Mohd Jonis said the SAVE programme was introduced, as chillers were found to consume the most energy.

"With this rebate programme, we encourage companies to replace their old chiller to energy efficient ones," she added.

Under the SAVE programme, rebates will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, based on the post-marked date of a complete application received by the Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry during the offer period through participating retailers.

Homeowners can apply for Solar Rooftop from Sept 24

I wrote an article recently about SEDA Malaysia's target of 2,000 house owners to invest in solar power through the feed-in tariff incentive by the end of this year.

The good news has finally arrived. A couple of weeks ago The Star reported that owners of landed homes can start applying for the 2000 quota starting September 24, 2012. They can do this by applying through  the e-FiT Online System.

The 2000 Solar Home Rooftop Programme

SEDA chairman Tan Sri Dr Fong Chan Onn told newsmen that the authority would allocate 2,000kW of solar photovoltaic (PV) for the fourth quarter of 2012 and 6,000kW for 2013 to home owners interested in generating electricity from their rooftops.

“A directory of the solar PV service providers will be available at Seda from Sept 18 to assist home owners,” he said in a statement.

Dr Fong said the programme was open to only individual residents and each application must comply with the Renewable Energy (Feed-in Approval and Feed-in Tariff Rate) Rules 2011 and Administrative Guidelines under the Renewable Energy Act.

An applicant can only submit one application per day through the e-FiT Online System at efit.seda.gov.my. The e-FiT Online System was made available for public access since Sept 18 after going through system enhancements. - The Star Online, 14-09-2012


Programme Summary:

Programme            : 2000 Solar Home Rooftop
Period                    : 4Q of 2012
Organised              : Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA)
Quota                    : 2 MW (4Q, 2012) and 6 MW (2013)
Eligibility                : Individual residents
How to apply          : Submit application through e-FIT online system. One application per day.
Investment return    : Expected ROI of 6 years
Earning                  : Average of RM500 per month for the REPPA of 21 years


Bad news for those who have applied earlier

If you have applied online prior to this date, your application would have been 'flushed out'. Meaning,  your applications would have been deleted. This is because of what SEDA described as 'upgrading'.

The Star (Sept.14, 2012):
    "...Badriyah (CEO of SEDA) also said applications for feed-in approval that were sent earlier have been flushed out due to the system upgrade. She also encouraged interested applicants and prospective and renewable energy developers to attend Seda's roadshows which will be held soon to learn more about the programme."

For me this is a bad move (or weakness) by SEDA. The approval/quota is on first-come-first-served basis and because earlier applications are flushed out, they lost their advantages for registering early.

TheGreenMechanics: If you are eligible and you have what it takes to get it done on your landed home, go for it. Simple as that.

SEDA and PHTP (Perak) signed hydro-power training partnership pact

What is small hydro-power

The definition of a small hydro project varies but a generating capacity of up to 10 MW is generally accepted as the upper limit of what can be termed small hydro. We can say it is the development of hydroelectric power on a scale serving a small community or industrial plant. In North America, the generating capacity of small hydro can be stretched up to 30 MW or 50 MW.

Check here for an example of Proposed small hydro-power plants in Tuaran, Sabah.

Small hydro can be further subdivided into mini hydro, usually defined as less than 1,000 kW, and micro hydro which is less than 100 kW. Micro hydro is the one that I am so interested as I have always wanted to power up a small community of about 25 houses in my area.


SEDA approved small hydro-power

In Malaysia, small hydro-power as listed in SEDA Malaysia website, refers to installations with generating capacity of:

1) up to and including 10 MW (tier one)                 - FIT rate: RM0.24/kWh
2) above 10 MW and up to and including 30 MW   - FIT rate: RM0.23/kWh

These will qualify for Renewable Energy FIT for 'Small Hydro' for a period of 21 years from FIT commencement date.

Partnership: A smart move by Perak government.

While it is commendable that Malaysia rolled out its RE initiatives with by forming  SEDA to administer and manage the implementation of the feed-in tariff mechanism, it does little good if there is no technology transfer.

What Perak did was to get SEDA to actvely involved in its plan to train and maintain one of the RE sources, i.e. small hydro-power. One may say hydro-power has been here for ages, but Perak went the extra mile to go down to the grassroots - preparing the small players in hydro electric power generation.


SEDA to help Perak in hydro-power training

Bernama reported a couple of days ago that SEDA Malaysia has entered into a partnership with the Perak State Development Corporation, via Perak Hi Tech Park (PHTP) Sdn Bhd, to provide training on how to maintain small hydro-power plants.

The introduction of this course will benefit many prospective hydro-power plants developers. Under the partnership, PHTP will source technology experts from Brodarski Institute in Croatia to conduct the inaugural training, the first technical cooperation between Malaysia and Croatia.

SEDA said in a statement:
"One of the gaps identified by SEDA is the need to address the lack of competent human capital in terms of technical knowledge in designing, constructing and maintaining small hydro-power systems in the country. Hence, the collaboration with PHTP is most timely to address this gap".

Malacca to build first solar farm, RM46 million

Malacca is well on course to achieve its target to become a Green Technology City State in 2020. Last month the government kicked off the construction of the first state-owned solar farm in the country.  Hats off to the team!

Not to deny the effort of other conglomerates and the private sector, but Malacca has to be given credit for the initiative. It started it's green initiative long before the feed-in tariff structure was drawn out by SEDA. The other notable solar installation is Cypark's Pajam 8MW solar park in Negeri Sembilan.


Malacca solar farm quick facts

Plant capacity     : 5MWp, to be constructed in 3 phases:-
                            Phase 1: 1.3MW to be completed in December 2012
                            Phase 2: 1.22MW to be completed in January 2013
                            Phase 3: 2.48MW to be completed in February 2013
Investment           : RM46 million (US$14.8 mil)
Area                     : 7,248.43ha
Location               : Rembia Industrial Area
Tenure                 : 21 years REPPA with TNB

Estimated energy produced :
                    Daily        - 17 MWh
                    Monthly   - 514 MWh
                    Annually  - 6,162 MWh
Example:
If the FIT rate is RM0.98 per kWh of energy produced, annual revenue based on the above estimated figure would be (6,162,000 x 0.98) = RM6.04 mil. So, yes, it is a viable investment and it create job opportunity for the people. Plus, there will be spin-off business activities, at lease in Malacca.

I am assuming that this production is based on solar irradiation of 3 to 3.5 hours a day, which is quite conservative, but perhaps taking into account rainy days as well. We understand that in Sabah the good sun irradiation period is longer.

Projected profit: RM73 million after 21 years

Malacca to build solar farm at Rembia Industrial Area
(NST, August 4, 2012)

ALOR GAJAH: THE Malacca government will be the first in the country to build and operate its own solar farm, costing RM46 million, in line with its mission to be a green technology city state by 2020.

The 5MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) solar farm will be built on a 7,248.43ha site at the Melaka World Solar Valley in the Rembia Industrial Area.

This will be done in three phases -- the first phase to produce 1.3MW will be completed in December, the second phase (1.22MW) will be ready by January next year and the final phase (2.48MW) in February. The project is being developed by Kumpulan Melaka Berhad (KMB), which is wholly owned by Chief Minister Incorporated.

The proposed solar farm to be build at Melaka Solar World Valley.


Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said all the power generated by the solar farm would be sold to Tenaga Nasional Berhad and the electricity would be channelled directly into the national power grid (NPG).

"The power harvested from sunlight will be channelled into the NPG in three phases obtained which will be on Dec 15, and Jan 15 and Feb 15 next year."

He also said the plant would be able to supply 17MW a day to the NPG. "In a month we will be able to sell 514MW to TNB and in a year, it will come up to 6,162MW.

"We expect that after servicing the RM41 million loan which we had taken from the Malaysia Debt Ventures Berhad (MDV), a company owned by the Ministry of Finance Incorporated, we would be able to make a profit of RM73 million after 21 years."

Rustam said this after performing the groundbreaking for the plant and witnessing the signing of the agreement to finance the project between KMB and MDV at the Melaka World Solar Valley yesterday.

Present were Energy, Green Technology and Water Deputy Minister Datuk Noriah Kasnon and Sustainable Energy Development Authority chairman Tan Sri Dr Fong Chan Onn, who is also Alor Gajah MP. Mohd Ali said two more solar farms would be developed in Jasin and the Krubong landfill.
