Transition of Installation to Energy Consumer

1. What will happen for installation subjected under Efficient Management of Electrical Energy Regulations 2008 (EMEER 2008) once Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024 is gazette? 
   Once EECA 2024 is gazette, the EMEER 2008 will be repealed along with all the requirements stipulated under the regulations. Installations will no longer be subjected to the EMEER 2008 once the EECA is gazette.
   
   
2. How do I know my installation will be identified as energy consumer under the EECA 2024?
   Energy Commission (ST) will issue a new notice under EECA for any person or installation who meet the threshold of consumption equal or more than 21,600GJ in 12 consecutive months. Notice under EECA 2024 will be issued at least 12 months after EECA 2024 is gazette because ST need to monitor 12 months complete energy consumption data to deem any person as energy consumer. Earliest notice would be issued is in January 2026 onwards.
   
   
3. What will happen to the appointed Registered Electrical Energy Manager (REEM) appointed under EMEER 2008 after EECA 2024 is gazette?
   Once EECA is gazette, all the requirements stipulated under the EMEER 2008 will be repealed including requirements to appoint REEM. However, for the purposes of continuous energy management and for the preparation of EECA, we encourage the installation to continue the appointment of REEM.
   
   
4. Do I still need to submit six months periodic reports under EMEER 2008 via Energy Management Information System (EMIS) once EECA 2024 is gazette?
   We encourage for the installation to continue submitting the six months periodic report under EMEER 2008 for the purpose of monitoring your own energy efficiency performance including continuous energy management practices especially on the energy saving measures implemented. ST is required to monitor the energy savings achieved through the energy saving measures implemented by the installation until 2025 under the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) which will then be reported to the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA).
   
   Therefore, we greatly appreciate if installation can continue submitting the periodic six-month report via EMIS.  For this purpose, it is not compulsory to appoint REEM. Installation can submit the six months periodic reports directly to ST via EMIS. EMIS will be open for submissions of reports under EMEER 2008 even after EECA 2024 is gazette until further notice.
   
   
5. Is there any penalty if installation does not follow requirements under EMEER 2008 once EECA 2025 is gazette.
   No penalty or action will be taken under EMEER 2008 because EMEER 2008 will be repealed once EECA 2024 is gazette.
   
   
6. What do installations under EMEER 2008 need to do once the EECA 2024 is gazette.
   In general, all the requirements under EMEER 2008 will be repealed once EECA 2024 is gazette which means installation no longer required to comply with the requirements under EMEER 2008. However, we would like to encourage for the installation to continue appointing REEM and submitting periodic six months via EMIS, for the purpose of continuous energy management practices and as preparation for the requirements under EECA 2024. In general, installation subjected to EMEER 2008 will also be subjected to Energy Consumer under EECA 2024. Compliance with the EECA 2024 will begin once ST issues a notice to the person as an Energy Consumer under the EECA 2024.

Transition of REEM to REM

1. Overview
   a. Current Registered Electrical Energy Managers (REEM) with valid certificates under EMEER 2008 until after EECA 2024 enforced are eligible to transition to Registered Energy Managers (REM) under the EECA 2024.
   b. As part of this transition, the REEM module on the Energy Commission Online System (ECOS) will be unavailable starting 15 December 2024 to facilitate the implementation of the EECA 2024 framework.
   
   
2. Why Transition?
   Under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024, all REEMs must register as REMs to continue their role.
   
   
3. Steps for Transitioning to REM
   Hold a Valid REEM Certificate
   i.    Prepare Required Documents (all as PDFs):
   a.    Identification Certificate (front and back). Example <1. IC Example>.
   
   b.    Academic or Professional Certification (Degree, ST Competent Certificate, or Professional Engineer Certificate). Choose Degree in Engineering, Science, Architecture as first choice. If not available, then you may choose ST Competent Certificate or Professional Engineer Certificate. Example <2. Degree Example>.
   
   c.    REEM Certificate Example <3. REEM Example>.
   
   d.    Renewal Letter for REEM Certificate (if applicable). Example <4. Renewal REEM Example>.
   
   
   ii.    Submit Application:
   a.    Visit the official Energy Commission portal at st.gov.my/apply-rem and complete the application form.
   
   b.    Read word by word terms of condition and submit in CAPITAL LETTERS and EXACTLY as per official documents. Typos, spelling mistake or difference between key in information and official document would cause Transition Application to be Rejected.
   
   
4. Closure of REEM Module on ECOS
   The REEM module on ECOS will be unavailable starting 15 December 2024. EECA 2024 will not be using ECOS System.
