The Bills will be gazetted for enactment by early
May 2011. SEDA Malaysia will then be legally established. The Feed-in tariff
is envisaged to be implemented by Q3 2011.
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) – The launch date for the implementation of the Feed-In Tariff (FiT) system for the Renewable Energy Sector has been revised to Dec 1 instead of Sept 1, 2011.
Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui said his ministry had to revise the launch date in the light of recent updates on the preparatory work.
"The rationale for the revised schedule in the implementation of the FiT is because the Renewable Energy Act 2011 requires seven subsidiary legislations for it to be enforced and to enable the FiT system to be implemented smoothly," he said in a statement today.
The FiT system implementation will be managed and monitored
by the Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia (SEDA Malaysia), a
statutory body established under the SEDA Act 2011.
According to Chin, SEDA Malaysia is an agency established based on the principles
of transparency and fairness, especially when it comes to managing the FiT system
and the RE Fund.
Chin also said that the official portal for SEDA Malaysia would be launched
in September prior to the implementation of FiT. – BERNAMA
