Ø Upon completion of this Sub-Chapter, student
should be able to:
ü Relate what is energy efficiency (EE)
ü Relate the importance of EE
ü Related legislation to EE in Malaysia
v The changes towards the earth
Ø Energy and Environment; demand
increasing every year
Ø CO2 level; rapid increase of
anthropogenic greenhouse gases
(GHG)
Ø If nothing is done to slow down
Green House Gas (GHG)
emissions
§ CO2 concentration will increase
more than 700ppm in 2100
§ Global average temperature
projected to increase between
1.4 - 5.8 degree.
Global warming is a phenomena of climate change
whereby the average temperatures of the lower earth
atmosphere are recorded to steadily increase by a few
degrees in recent decades.
Causes of Global Warming
Ø Which can be caused by the use of fossil fuels, and industrial or agricultural
processes.
Ø Basically, it can be divided into category.
§ Electricity and Heat; Manufacturing and Construction; Transportation; Fuel
Combustion; Fugitive Emissions; Industrial Processes; Agriculture; Land Used
change and Forestry; Waste; International Bunkers.
Ø Among many of them, “transportation” as well as “electricity and heat” is the
highest contributor to GHG emission.
Ø Green House Effect

Ø Ozone Layer Depletion

(EFFECT BY ChloroFluoroCarbons [CFC])
• Temperatures will get warmer.
• Glaciers will melt, ice sheets in Artic will melt (Polar
Bears hunt on ice sheets)
• Sea levels will rise. Utah will be on Pacific Coast….
NOT!
• More droughts in dry areas and more rain and snow
in wet areas.
• More violent weather around the world.

Getting similar (or better) level of service

with less energy consumption

Paying less for electricity to get the same

amount of amenities required!
v Electricity rate always increases

v Saved fund can be use for other beneficial areas

v To save fossil fuels:

ü Are depleting resources
ü Escalate in price as they are exhausted

v To conserve the environment:

ü The only one we will leave to our future generations
ü Fossil fuel combustions produce green house gasses
CO2, SO2 and NO2 that can cause acid rain and global
warming
v To improve the foreign reserves of our country:
ü Reduce import of generating plants
ü Export unused indigenous fuel to earn foreign
exchange

v To save money on the energy not “wasted”:

ü Reduce electricity means lower cost for users (improve
costing)
ü Reduce demand growth means less capital investment
needed for new electrical infrastructure

ENERGY MANAGEMENT”
Ø Upon completion of this Sub-Chapter, student
should be able to:
ü Deliver an understanding of policies and
legislations to energy management.
ü Provide sufficient information on policies that
supports energy management practices.

 National Energy Policy (Dasar Tenaga Negara)
Three principal energy objectives are instrumental in guiding the future
energy sector development:

1. The Supply Objective

To ensure the provision of adequate, secure, and cost-effective energy
supplies through developing indigenous energy resources both non-
renewable and renewable energy resources using the least cost options
and diversification of supply sources both from within and outside the
country
2. The Utilization Objective
To promote the efficient utilization of energy and to discourage wasteful
and nonproductive patterns of energy consumption
3. The Environmental Objective
To minimize the negative impacts of energy production, transportation,
conversion, utilization and consumption on the environment

38
 Definition of Green Technology
The development and application of products,
equipment and systems used to conserve the natural
environment and resources, which minimizes and
reduces the negative impact of human activities.
Satisfy any of the following General Criteria:
• minimizes degradation to the environment;
• has zero or low green house gas (GHG) emission;
• safe for use and promotes healthy and improved environment
for all forms of life;
• conserves the use of energy and natural resources; and
• promotes the use of renewable resources

ü Refrigerator was selected to pioneer the program because of it
is being used in 98% of household.
ü Household operate a refrigerator continuously 24 hours a day,
every day, throughout the year.
Ø Established under the Energy Commission Act 2001, the Energy Commission (EC) is the
regulatory agency for electricity supply and piped gas supply industries in Peninsular
Malaysia and Sabah.

Ø Fully operational on Jan 1, 2002, the EC took over the role of the Department of Electricity
and Gas Supply, which was dissolved on the same date.

Ø The Commission’s responsibilities are enshrined by the Energy Commission Act 2001, and
the commission regulates and promotes all matters relating to the electricity and gas
supply industry within the scope of applicable legislation namely:
ü Electricity Supply Act 1990 [Act 447] as amended in 2015
ü Gas Supply Act 1993 [Act 501]
ü Electricity Regulations 1994 as amended in 2014
ü Licensee Supply Regulations 1990
ü Electricity Supply (Compounding of Offences) Regulations 2001
ü Efficient Management of Electrical Energy Regulations 2008
ü Gas Supply Regulations 1997
ü Gas Supply (Compoundable Offences) Order 2006
Ø Economic Regulation
To promote economy in the generation, transmission, distribution, supply and use of
electricity and in the reticulation and use of gas; promote competition; enable fair
and efficient market conduct and prevent the misuse of monopoly or market power in
the electricity and piped gas industries.

Ø Technical Regulation
To ensure security, reliability, efficiency and quality of supply and services in the
electricity and piped gas supply industries.
