REGISTERED ENERGY MANAGER (REM)
Type 1 & Type 2 Training in Malaysia
Professional Training for Energy Management, EECA 2024 Compliance & Energy Efficiency
ABOUT REM
Professionals Driving Organisational Energy Performance
A Registered Energy Manager (REM) is a professional registered with the Energy Commission who holds a valid Certificate of Practice to perform energy management functions under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act 2024 (EECA 2024).
An REM supports organisations by collecting and analysing energy data, developing and monitoring Energy Management Systems, preparing Energy Efficiency and Conservation reports, and recommending practical energy-saving measures.
WHY REM IS IMPORTANT ?
Energy consumers whose total energy consumption reaches or exceeds 21,600 GJ over 12 consecutive months are subject to specific regulatory obligations, including the appointment of a Registered Energy Manager (REM) within the timeframe stipulated by the Energy Commission.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION THRESHOLD
Is Your Facility Classified as an “Energy Consumer”?
The applicable threshold is 21,600 GJ. If the total consumption of electricity, gas or other fuels at your premises reaches or exceeds this amount over 12 consecutive months, your facility will be subject to the relevant regulatory requirements.
REGULATORY THRESHOLD
21,600 GJ
Total energy consumption from electricity, gas and other fuels is assessed over 12 consecutive months.
01
Location Rule
The calculation includes all activities conducted within the same site or premises.
02
Calculation Boundary
The calculation must include production energy, such as machinery and production lines, together with non-production energy, including lighting, office air conditioning and utilities.
In summary, all energy consumption within the site or premises boundary must be calculated collectively to determine whether the facility reaches the 21,600 GJ threshold.
MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES
Core Responsibilities of A Registered Energy Manager
