Regulatory and Policy Clarifications
With reference to the definition “EUC”, does this include other licenced EUC that is not part of the TNB group?
With reference to section 7.8, do clarify who are the “relevant parties” involved when the generation and consumption data of RED and Green Consumer is shared? Is the sharing limited to billing purposes?
How is ST regulating the point of interconnection? With the understanding that “LSS5” still yet to award.
Billing, Tariff and Settlement
Will there be MD be chargeable to Green Consumer?
Section 6.11 of the CRESS Guidelines outlines that "The EUC shall carry out the billing process and issue the relevant bill to the Green Consumer based on meter readings at both RED (MRED) and Green Consumer (MGC) premises. The meter reading at RED and Green Consumer premises shall be coordinated in such a way that the readings reflect the supply and consumption of electricity that occur within the same time during the Billing Period. The meter reading and billing activities shall be carried out on a monthly basis. RED and Green Consumer shall also grant EUC and Single Buyer access for MRED and MGC."
i. Is the Settlement Period equal to the Billing Period? (ie. Can power delivered by the RED to TNB at 12 noon be consumed by a Green Consumer at 3 pm that day, or another later time during a day within that month's Billing Period?)
ii. If the Settlement Period does not equal the Billing Period, what settlement period is planned to be used?
RED’s Declared Monthly Energy Output = 1,000 MWh,
RED’s Actual Monthly Energy Output = 1,000 MWh,
GC’s Consumption = 1,200 MWh,
Balance consumption from TNB = 200 MWh.
Given the GC has a Peak tariff of RM 0.365/kWh and an off-peak tariff of RM 0.224/kWh. Which tariff will TNB charge the GC for the 200 MWh?
As consumers are charged at 2 different energy rates (peak and off-peak), how will the offsetting between consumption and RE generation be done?
