Understanding CRESS
In September 2024, CRESS was launched with the aim to provide an open grid access to renewable energy players, whereby renewable energy developers may sell green electricity directly to their preferred customers using TNB’s grid network.
This initiative is a progressive step towards liberalization of the electricity market and is expected to reduce the risks and costs associated with Malaysia’s Electricity Supply Industry (MESI) while attracting more renewable energy players in a healthy competitive environment.
