Speaking during the panel session, Dato’ Guntur Tobeng highlighted a growing mismatch within Malaysia’s renewable energy ecosystem. Corporate offtakers increasingly seek flexible and competitively priced green electricity, while financiers continue to require long-term certainty and predictable cash flows before committing capital.
Developers are caught in the middle. Beyond securing land, permits and grid connections, they must also navigate System Access Charges (SAC) that can significantly affect project economics and investor confidence. These additional costs ultimately influence the price offered to consumers.
To address this challenge, he proposed exploring a renewable energy trading platform managed by the Single Buyer. Such a platform could introduce floor and ceiling prices, providing greater certainty for buyers, developers and financiers alike.
A well-designed mechanism could improve bankability, reduce pricing disputes and accelerate RE uptake
