Why is the task of implementing the FiT System not given to the Energy Commission? Why does the Government require a new agency?

The Energy Commission is the sole body regulating and promoting all matters relating to the electricity and gas supply industries in Malaysia. Given its sizeable portfolio, the Energy Commission would face a constraint in resources if it is expected to also discharge the full functions of a feed-in tariff implementing agency. This is the why SEDA Malaysia has been set up as an agency dedicated to serving as a one stop renewable energy centre.
