Kuala lumpur: A total of 11 developers have registered under the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) as of May 2026.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the number includes eight green consumers from the data centre, high-technology, and manufacturing sectors, involving a combined renewable energy (RE) capacity of about three gigawatts. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof highlighted this development, stating that their participation reflects positive interest from industry players in the direct green electricity supply mechanism, particularly to meet the needs of large-scale corporate consumers. He made these remarks during the Minister's Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat today.

Fadillah was responding to a supplementary question from Rodziah Ismail (PH-Ampang) regarding CRESS's status of implementation and the number of participants in the scheme. He noted that CRESS was launched on July 26, 2024, as a mechanism enabling corporate consumers to procure green electricity directly from RE developers through access to the national grid network.

The implementation of CRESS also aligns with the country's aspiration to accelerate RE development, aiming for a 70 per cent RE share of installed capacity by 2050 under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR).
