The Supply Agreement with Renewable Energy (SARE) is a programme initiated by the Energy Commission (ST) of Malaysia and Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) in 2019 as one of the measures to achieve 20% of Renewable Energy in the nation’s generation mix by 2025. The programme encourages and incentivizes private investors to pursue solar PV installations on rooftops of commercial, industrial, agricultural and government premises.

The SARE tripartite agreement brings investors and site owners together with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) while protecting both investors and site owners. The agreement details out the contract years, the solar price (sen/kWh), the covenants and obligations of each party
