Q What is a ‘degression’? What does it mean and why is there a need for one?

 Tariff degression refers to the annual reduction of renewable energy tariffs. The rate of reduction depends on the maturity and the existing cost reduction potential. Tariff degression  applies to all technologies and will only affect a developer every time he/she comes applies for the FiT.

For example, a home owner (A) installs a Solar PV system in year 1 and signs an agreement with TNB at an FiT rate of RM1.75 per kWh. Home owner (A) will continue to receive this rate throughout his/her agreement duration of 21 yrs. A year after home owner (A) installs the system, his/her neighbour, (B) decides to install a PV system in his/her home too. By year 2 the FiT rate has now reduced by 8% to RM1.61 per kWh. Therefore, home owner (B) will now have a 21-year contract with the TNB selling their PV electricity at RM1.61 per kWh. This form of degression rewards the early movers of RE in the country and also promotes cost reduction  of the RE technology.
