• In line with Malaysian Government's aspiration to increase renewable energy generation to 31% by 2025, the Government has introduced a new program known as the Green Electricity Tariff (GET) to replace the existing myGreen+ scheme.
• With the implementation of the GET Programme, the consumers will have an option to purchase green energy without having to install their own solar rooftop or other renewable energy installations.
• Consumers enrolled in the GET Programme will receive the Malaysian Renewable Energy Certificate (mREC) which is recognized internationally at the end of each year.
• Subscribing to GET means that supporting environmentally friendly and green agenda such as to meet your sustainable targets through offsetting electricity’s carbon emission, and boost “eco-friendly” brand image.
• In addition, you are supporting growth of the renewable energy industries and reduce reliant on gas or coal-fired power plants.
• The amount of Green Electricity that customer can subscribe shall be less than or equivalent to thirty percent (30%) of average monthly consumption.
• In line with GET Guideline, TNB reserves the right to review customer’s GET subscription in the event customer’s actual electricity consumption is lower than their green electricity subscription to ensure fair sharing of limited Green Electricity quota.
• GET programme is backed by mREC to give assurance that consumers will receive green electricity. Consumers enrolled in the GET programme would receive the Malaysia Renewable Energy Certificate (mREC) which is recognized internationally by 1 month after the end of each year.
• You will receive an internationally recognized Malaysian Renewable Energy Certificate (mREC) that provides credibility of your electricity coming from a renewable energy generator. The source of REC is from the RE generators connected to the national grid that makes the claim more credible as compared to off-grid.
• GET Programme is offered to all TNB customers and they may opt to subscribe to GET Programme in 100 kWh blocks for Residential and 1,000 kWh blocks for Non-Residential at the rate of 3.7 sen/kWh.
• The subscription period for GET programme is for a minimum of twelve (12) months and will be automatically renewed unless the customer request to terminate or modify their subscription amount before the end of the subscription period.
• Customers may opt to increase the subscription amount at any time during the subscription period subject to the availability of quota.
• Electricity generated by renewable energy is not supplied to a specific home or business. When you subscribe to GET, TNB will match 100% of your subscription of GET from TNB renewable energy instead of using energy from natural gas or coal-fired power plants. This green energy enters the electric system daily and reduces the amount of energy you required from fossil-fuel based power plants.
• The resources for producing electricity for the purpose of the GET Programme will be from the renewable energy resources as determined and approved by the Energy Commission from time to time.
• The payment collected from GET programme will be used to support the implementation of national renewable energy agenda and initiatives.
• The Green Electricity Tariff Rider (GET) rate is determined by the Energy Commission based on the incremental cost incurred for the procurement of green energy by the system, compared to the System Marginal Price (SMP).
• In future, the calculation of the GET rate will be reviewed accordingly by Energy Commission, should there's any changes in RE prices or as other RE sources become available.
• Customers who opt for GET subscriptions will pay:
a) Standard applicable tariff rates as per Tariff Schedule for monthly electricity consumption; and
b) GET subscription charges at the rate of 3.7 sen/kWh
• Monthly GET billing will be based on GET subscription or customer's actual consumption whichever is lower.
• GET subscription charges will be prorated based on number of days in the scenario whereby customer subscribes GET in the middle of billing period.
• Green electricity subscribed shall be exempted from any calculation of ICPT surcharges or rebates for a period of 6 months, starting January to June 2023 and subject to Government’s review from time to time.
Example 1:
- Example for bill calculation when electricity consumption of the GET Customer is more than its subscription of green electricity :
Electricity consumption = 800,000 kWh
GET subscription = 100,000 kWh
Below is an illustration for the calculation of the sum payable by the GET Customer:

Example 2:
- Example for billing calculation when electricity consumption of the GET Customer is less than its subscription of green energy:
Electricity consumption = 50,000 kWh
GET subscription = 100,000 kWh
Below is an illustration for the calculation of the sum payable by the GET Customer:
https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ce645a_689070e23be24fbc84b0869c88ce00c7~mv2.png
Example 3:
- Example for billing calculation when GET customer subscribes GET in the middle of billing period. Calculation is based on number of days:
Electricity consumption = 50,000 kWh
GET subscription = 1,000 kWh
GET Start Date = 01.01.2023
Billing period = 25.12.2022 – 24.01.2023
Below is an illustration for the calculation of the sum payable by the Customer:

Customers may subscribe online via myTNB Portal starting 16th February 2023.
Guideline and terms and conditions for GET Programme as approved by Energy Commission can be accessed at TNB’s website.
GET Guideline and terms and conditions are subject to Government revision from time to time
GET Customer may subscribe the green energy in blocks of 100kWh subject to the Green Electricity quota. The minimum subscription of GET is 100kWh for Residential and 1,000kWh for Non-Residential.
The amount of Green Electricity that customer can subscribe shall be less than or equivalent to thirty percent (30%) of its average monthly consumption, inclusive of existing subscribers.
TNB may review customer’s GET subscription in the event customer’s actual electricity consumption is lower than their green electricity subscription to ensure fair sharing of limited Green Electricity quota.
The availability of Green Electricity Tariff quota for subscription can be viewed on TNB’s website and Malaysia Green Attribute Tracking System (mGATS) website.
The total GET subscription must not exceed the allocated monthly Green Energy Quota as published on TNB’s website.
mGATS stands for Malaysia Green Attribute Tracking System. It is a platform for interested customers to inquire about green electricity and to seek the balance of Green Electricity Tariff quota.
GET subscription period is for a minimum of 1 year (12 months), customer may request to terminate their GET subscription at least fourteen (14) working days prior to the expiry of the current subscription cycle of 1 year.
There is no incentive available for the subscription of GET presently.
