GEORGE TOWN: New commercial and industrial buildings in Penang must now ensure that at least 75% of their roof area is covered with solar panels or meet renewable energy sourcing targets based on their Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) tariff category.
State infrastructure, transport and digital committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said the new guideline requires buildings to source part of their energy from renewable sources — 25% for low voltage users, 5% for medium voltage, and 2% for high voltage consumers — as part of Penang’s effort to boost clean energy adoption.
