The official date of enforcement has not yet been determined. It will be announced and shared with the public as soon as it is available.

The EECA is a critical part of Malaysia’s strategy to enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and promote sustainable energy practices, contributing significantly to national and global environmental goals.

The EECA introduces new regulations and standards that businesses and industries must comply with to enhance energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

The Energy Commission will provide guidelines to help businesses comply with the new regulations under the EECA.

The Energy Commission will issue official announcements through its website, social media platforms, and other public communication channels when the EECA is enforced.

Specific penalties for non-compliance are outlined in the Act, with fines up to RM50,000 for certain offenses.

The EECA applies to energy consumers whose energy consumption meets or exceeds a threshold set by the Energy Commission, as well as those involved in specific sectors outlined in the Act. Details will be shared once the Act is enforced.

Energy consumers must appoint a Registered Energy Manager (REM), implement an energy management system, and submit energy efficiency and conservation reports as specified in the Act.

An energy management system is a set of procedures and practices aimed at optimizing energy use. Under the EECA, energy consumers must implement such systems to improve energy efficiency and reduce waste.

Energy consumers must submit energy efficiency and conservation reports, which include details of energy use, implemented measures, and future plans for improving energy efficiency.

Failure to comply with the EECA can result in fines, and the Energy Commission may require additional audits or reports.

Building managers must apply for and display an energy intensity label, ensure energy intensity performance, and submit energy audit reports and improvement plans as required by the Act.

The energy intensity label indicates the energy efficiency of a building. It must be applied for, obtained from the Energy Commission, and displayed prominently to comply with the EECA’s regulations.

Applications for energy intensity labels must be submitted to the Energy Commission, along with the required documents and fees. Details will be shared once the Act is enforced.

Certain buildings may be exempt from specific provisions of the EECA if they meet criteria set by the Energy Commission. Details of exemptions are outlined in the Act.

If a building does not meet the required energy efficiency rating, the person in charge must conduct an energy audit and implement an improvement plan to comply with the EECA.

Manufacturers and importers must register with the Energy Commission, obtain certificates of energy efficiency (COE) for their products, and comply with the minimum energy performance standards.

Applications must be submitted to the Energy Commission with the necessary documentation. If approved, the Commission will issue a certificate of energy efficiency and an energy efficiency rating label for the product. Details will be shared once the Act is enforced.

Manufacturers and importers must keep energy performance testing reports and related documents for seven years. Failure to do so may result in penalties under the EECA.

No, the energy efficiency certificate must be obtained before the product is distributed or sold. Products without certification cannot be legally sold or distributed under the EECA.

If a product fails to meet standards, the manufacturer or importer must recall the product from the market as directed by the Energy Commission. Failure to do so can lead to significant fines and further legal action.

Altering or falsifying an energy efficiency certificate is a serious offense under the EECA, with penalties including fines and potential imprisonment for those found guilty.

The Energy Commission may cancel the certificate of energy efficiency, and the product must be recalled and removed from the market.

Applications must be submitted to the Energy Commission, along with the necessary qualifications and documents. The Commission will issue a certificate of registration upon approval. Details will be shared once the Act is enforced.

The transition process involves applying for registration under the EECA, with current REEMs automatically deemed as REMs upon fulfilling specific criteria and applying to the Energy Commission. Details will be shared once the Act is enforced.

Applicants must be Malaysian citizens, hold relevant qualifications, complete required training, and meet other criteria as determined by the Commission. Details will be shared once the Act is enforced.

The practising certificate for Registered Energy Managers (REMs) and Energy Auditors is valid for a period specified by the Energy Commission, after which it must be renewed following the prescribed process. Details will be shared once the Act is enforced.

Training institutions must be legally established entities, meet the prerequisites set by the Energy Commission, and apply for registration with the required documents and fees.

The practising certificate for Registered Energy Managers (REMs) and Energy Auditors is valid for a period specified by the Energy Commission, after which it must be renewed following the prescribed process. Details will be shared once the Act is enforced.

Training institutions must be legally established entities, meet the prerequisites set by the Energy Commission, and apply for registration with the required documents and fees.

REMs must participate in continuous development programs provided by registered training institutions to maintain their practising certificate. The Energy Commission sets specific requirements for these programs.

Training institutions that conduct unauthorized courses or fail to comply with the EECA may face fines and have their registration and practising certificates revoked by the Energy Commission.
