The Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS)

The Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS): Empowering Malaysian Corporations Towards a Sustainable Future

The world is steadily shifting towards cleaner, more sustainable energy sources, and Malaysia is no exception. The Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS), recently introduced in Malaysia, is a pivotal initiative designed to accelerate the nation’s transition to renewable energy. For corporations looking to align with global sustainability goals while simultaneously benefiting from cost-efficient energy solutions, CRESS offers a game-changing opportunity.

As a public listed company in Malaysia’s solar renewable energy sector, we are committed to helping corporations navigate this transformative journey by providing tailored solutions under the CRESS framework.

What is the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS)?

CRESS is a program initiated by Malaysia’s Energy Commission that allows corporations to purchase renewable energy directly from solar power producers. This scheme, aligned with Malaysia’s broader ambition to reduce its carbon footprint and promote sustainable development, enables companies to meet their energy needs through solar power, bypassing traditional energy procurement models.

The essence of CRESS lies in its flexibility and scalability. Corporations can enter into Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with renewable energy producers, securing long-term energy supply at stable and competitive rates. This offers a dual benefit: significant savings on electricity bills and a tangible contribution to environmental conservation.

The Benefits of CRESS for Corporations

1. Cost Efficiency: CRESS allows corporations to lock in long-term energy prices, protecting them from the volatility of conventional electricity tariffs. By opting for renewable energy, companies can enjoy substantial savings on operational costs over the years.
2. Sustainability Goals: With increasing pressure from stakeholders, including investors, consumers, and regulators, corporations are expected to demonstrate commitment to sustainability. CRESS provides an effective way to reduce carbon emissions and enhance a company’s green credentials, meeting both local and global sustainability standards.
3. Energy Independence: By partnering with solar energy producers, corporations can achieve a level of energy independence, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources and enhancing the resilience of their energy supply.
4. Regulatory Compliance: Malaysia’s government has set ambitious renewable energy targets. Participating in CRESS allows corporations to align with national energy policies, mitigating risks associated with future regulatory changes and carbon pricing mechanisms.
5. Positive Brand Image: Today’s consumers and business partners favor companies that take concrete actions towards sustainability. A commitment to renewable energy through CRESS can significantly enhance a corporation’s reputation, positioning it as a responsible leader in the marketplace.

Why Solar Energy?

Solar energy is at the forefront of Malaysia’s renewable energy landscape, making it the ideal solution for corporations looking to leverage CRESS. Solar power offers several distinct advantages:

• Abundant Resource: Malaysia’s geographical location provides ample sunlight throughout the year, making solar energy a reliable and consistent source of power.
• Technological Advancements: The rapid advancements in solar technology have led to increased efficiency and reduced costs, making it a highly attractive option for corporations.
• Scalability: Whether a corporation needs energy for a single facility or multiple locations, solar solutions can be scaled to meet varying energy demands.
