ETP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
On average, Malaysia is 34 per cent more
energy-intensive than its peer countries.
We will focus on five relevant levers to
improve energy efficiency in Malaysia:
1. The Government will lead by example
on energy-efficiency practices and
philosophy
2. Stimulate sales of energy-efficient
appliances
3. The Government will work with
Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) to make
co-generation economically viable
4. Regulate better insulated buildings
5. Stimulate the sale of energy-efficient
vehicles
Achievements
SAVE, or Sustainability Achieved via
Energy Efficiency, is a programme
spearheaded by the Ministry of Energy,
Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA),
to improve energy efficiency in Malaysia
through five initiatives. It was launched in
July 2011.
This one-off initiative is to stimulate
sales of energy-efficient appliances
by providing rebates for refrigerators,
air-conditioners and chillers to
qualified consumers. The programme
is implemented through collaboration
between KeTTHA and utility companies
(TNB , Sarawak Electricity Bhd, Sabah
Electricity Sdn Bhd) with participating
appliance and equipment manufacturers
as well as retailers throughout Malaysia to
reach the targeted groups.
100,000 rebate vouchers for five-star
rated refrigerators worth RM200 each,
and 65,000 vouchers for five-star rated
air conditioners worth RM100 each have
been allocated to states across Malaysia.

Improving Energy Efficiency
SAVE, or Sustainability Achieved via Energy Efficiency, is spearheaded by the Ministry of Energy,
Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA)
To date, about 12.4 per cent and 7.1 per
cent of market share of five-star rated
energy efficient refrigerators and airconditioners
respectively have been
recorded through the initiatives being
implemented, with total energy saving
accumulation of 66.3 GWh.
In March, it was announced that Faber
Group Berhad will spearhead the pilot
project for the Energy Performance
Management System (EPMS) for
government entities. Faber has
commenced and completed energy audits
at five hospitals in the northern states of
Peninsular Malaysia. Implementation of
zero and low cost measures are expected
to be completed by December 2011.
To stimulate the use of fuel efficient cars,
the import duty on all hybrid cars has
been exempted, bringing the cost of
hybrid models such as the Toyota Prius
and Honda Insight to more competitive
levels. Sales of hybrid cars are expected
to achieve record highs in 2011. This
exemption was extended to the end
of 2013 in the recent Budget 2012
announcement.
Moving Forward
Promotion of awareness in efficiency of
energy utilisation will be increased in
2012 onwards. This is targeted at creating
the right public attitude in terms of using
energy more wisely and efficiently.
In the meantime the efficient management
of energy programmes (Energy
Performance Contracting) in 120 topenergy-using
government buildings will
be further explored for implementation
in all government buildings and private
properties.
