Frequently Asked Questions
CRESS
Green Consumer and Renewable Energy Developer (RED) Policies
Based on the following situation, is the customer allowed to participate in CRESS for Factory 1 since it will be energised in the future?
With reference to section 6.5, we understand that a RED is allowed to contract with more than 1 Green Consumer, but can a RED have more than 1 project site for 1 Green Consumer? Example 1: Green Consumer with a demand of 150 MW under 2 site locations (100 MW and 50 MW).
With reference to section 6.15, EUC may also offer billing services to RED and Green Consumer for energy supplied by RED to Green Consumer, what do these "billing services" entail and what are the charges for it?
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?
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)? Will this be the same as CGPP where the offtaker’s ability to contract is capped by their max demand in MW?
Application Process and Documentation
With reference to section 13.4(i), can we clarify if this refers to the full-fledged, definitive contract between the RED and the Green Consumer? Or can a MoU/Term Sheet suffice for application purposes, to be followed by the definitive contract upon succ
For Section 13.4 (h), can the Land Lease Agreement be substituted with a MoU/Term Sheet for the purpose of application submission and only proceed to execute the definitive contract upon successful application, as it was the case with CGPP.
Referring to Section 13.4(g), the approved PSS is needed for the Submission Application, and Appendix 2 requires the Application to be submitted first before conducting PSS Studies. Can we assume that Section 13.4(g) refers to PSS Stage 1 and Appendix 2 refers to PSS Stage 2? Would this mean that the PSS Study Stage 1 can already be conducted starting 30th September 2024?
With reference to section 13.4, if our application is incomplete, will we be given opportunities to submit further documents throughout the application process?
