New Proposed Degression Rates for Solar PV Technology

March 5, 2013, Tuesday Kuala Lumpur: The Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry said that the degression rate for solar PV with installed capacity of up to 24kW will remain at 8%.

Datuk Badaruddin Mahyudin, Deputy Secretary-General (Energy) said that the degression rate for solar PV with installed capacity of more than 24kW will increase from (the former) 8% to (now) 20%.

“There will be no degression rates for bonus criteria of locally manufactured PV modules and inverter as the rate will be reduced from 8% to 0%”, the Deputy Secretary-General said in a statement.

He also said that the latest degression rates will come into effect from next month and are applicable to solar PV quotas that were released this year.

Degression rates for solar PV technology are under the FiT mechanism which is being administered by SEDA Malaysia.
