Net Energy Metering (NEM) scheme was introduced by the government for consumer to reduce their electricity bills. You can generate your own electricity by installing solar PV system on the rooftop for your own consumption.
- You will consume first the energy generated by your solar PV system for your internal consumption.
- If the energy generated is not fully used, you can supply the excess to TNB grid.
- When solar energy is insufficient or at night when there is no access to sunlight, TNB will supply the energy to you.
By generating your own electricity, you will use less energy from TNB. Therefore, this will help to lower your electricity bill. Additionally, you can obtain NEM credit when you supply the excess energy to TNB. This credit can be used to further reduce your electricity bill.
