Green Consumer and Renewable Energy Developer (RED) Policies

Based on our understanding of sections 8.1 and 8.19, qualified Green Consumers (GC) should be existing customers, connected to the high and/or medium voltage lines, who have or will receive electricity on or after September 30, 2024. Would the regulator consider expanding the start date of qualified GCs in order to have a greater pool of demand for RED to provide supply to and to justify investments at scale?

The Energy Commission is currently focused on maintaining the existing start date for qualified GCs, as the Government has approved this requirement to align with the broader market framework and strategic objectives.

What rules govern the maximum demand the offtaker states in their CRESA and will this be in MW (vs MWh)? Will this be the same as CGPP where the offtaker’s ability to contract is capped by their max demand in MW? With respect to the classification of a new Green Consumer, we are enquiring on behalf of a potential data centre off-taker, with an ESA for a 450 MVA connection with TNB. The data centre site has already energised at a very minimal power usage for testing and commissioning in preparation for their client in Q1 and Q2 next year. Can they still be considered as a new Green Consumer under CRESS? What rules govern the maximum demand the offtaker states in their CRESA and will this be in MW (vs MWh)?
