Seda Malaysia denies granting feed-in approval for geothermal resources to any company


PUTRAJAYA: Sustainable Energy Development Authority of Malaysia (SEDA Malaysia) has not granted any feed-in approval for geothermal resources to any company, including Tawau Green Energy Sdn Bhd (TGE).

"SEDA Malaysia will include the tariff for geothermal resources in the Schedule of Renewable Energy (RE) Act 2011 once the tariff is approved by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water," she said in response to queries by Serdang Member of Parliament Dr Ong Kian Ming who asked whether the 30MW geothermal feed-in-tariff (FIT) quota had been awarded via direct negotiation to TGE.
