Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) - Northern Solar

Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS)

Why Consider CRESS?

The Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) is a new market mechanism introduced by the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) that allows businesses to directly source renewable electricity from green energy producers through the national grid. It is designed to accelerate corporate decarbonisation and support Malaysia’s national energy transition goals.

Key Benefits of CRESS

Direct Access to Green Electricity

CRESS enables companies to purchase renewable energy directly from solar and other renewable energy developers, instead of relying solely on conventional grid supply. This gives corporates real control over their energy source and sustainability impact.

Strong ESG & Sustainability Positioning

By switching to renewable electricity, businesses can significantly reduce carbon emissions and strengthen ESG reporting, helping them meet investor, customer, and regulatory expectations.

Cost Stability Through Long-Term Agreements

CRESS supports long-term renewable energy contracts, allowing companies to lock in more predictable electricity pricing and reduce exposure to volatile energy costs.

Physical Renewable Energy Supply (Not Just Credits)

Unlike offset-only systems, CRESS delivers actual physical green electricity through the national grid, making sustainability claims more credible and impactful.

No Need for On-Site Solar Installation

Companies can access renewable energy without installing rooftop solar systems, making it ideal for factories, offices, malls, and buildings with limited rooftop space.

Supports Malaysia’s Energy Transition Goals

CRESS plays a key role in increasing national renewable energy capacity and supporting Malaysia’s target of higher clean energy penetration in the power mix.
