The Malaysian government has decided to retain the energy offset mechanism for existing Malaysian Building Integrated Photovoltaic (MBIPV) and Net Energy Metering (NEM) users. This follows a policy review to adjust the excess energy offset structure. Over 82,000 solar PV systems with 1.7 GW capacity are operational nationwide. Another 14,000 systems with 595 MW capacity are under development. NEM 1.0 users will receive offsets based on displaced cost until December 31, 2035. NEM 2.0 domestic users will get full offsets for ten years from commissioning. Non-domestic users will receive partial offsets based on import-export ratios. NEM 3.0 Rakyat and GoMEn users will also get offsets under similar conditions. Offsets for NOVA users will follow average system marginal prices. The NEM programme will end on June 30, 2025.
