The Malaysian Photovoltaic Industry Association (MPIA) would like to express its grave concern and disappointment on the Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry’s (KeTTHa) awarding of a total of 200 MWp of utility-scale solar power plants on a fast-track basis to an unknown consortium of companies, “Call for more solar power plants” (StarBiz, Jan 27) and “Seda completes e-balloting of FiA applications” (StarBiz, Feb 2).
The announcement by KeTTHA has taken everybody in the photovoltaic (PV) industry completely by surprise as it was made before the final detailed implementation guidelines on the mechanisms for the 500 MWp Net Energy Metering (NEM) and 1000 MWp Utility Scale Solar (USS), to be implemented until 2020, were finalised and made known to the public and industry players.
