Self Consumption
Apart from Net Metering, SELCO is another option for you to generate electricity from your own solar PV system, to offset or reduce your electricity bills. SELCO lets you consume all the electricity generated by your solar system but will not allow any excess to flow into the utility network. The Government is encouraging individual, commercial and
industrial consumers to install solar PV for their own consumption,
looking to hedge against the rising cost of electricity.
In SELCO, it is required the conduct TNB power flow study of the proposed connection of your generating plant/source (if the installed capacity of the solar PV system is 425kW and above) so the Distribution Licensee (DL) can identify whatever effects it may have on the utility network.
On top of the SELCO scheme, there is an extended scheme called the NEM NOVA, The NOVA Programme is a programme where a consumer can install solar PV installation for self-consumption in its own Premises. The solar PV Installation shall be designed primarily for self-consumption, any excess Energy which is not consumed at the Premise where the PV Installation is located due to operational constraints or monthly or seasonal variation in load demands at the said Premises may be exported through the Supply System under one of the following categories: category A and category B.
Category A:
Any excess Energy produced in a month which is not consumed by the NOVA Consumer may be exported via the Supply System to the Distribution Licensee.
Category B:
Any excess Energy produced in a month which is not consumed by the NOVA Consumer may be exported via the Supply System up to three (3) Designated Premise.
The unit price (RM/kWh) of the Energy exported in the Billing Period to the Supply System shall be based on the Average System Marginal Price (SMP). Only excess Energy exported in the month can be used to offset bill payment for the next Billing Period and any remaining excess Energy shall be forfeited. The period of operation under the NOVA Programme shall not be more than ten (10) years from the Commencement Date of the solar PV Installation. Subsequent to the end of the validity of the NOVA Programme, the NOVA Consumer may operate its solar PV Installation strictly for self-consumption only and no export of Energy is allowed.
