Why do Service Providers need to submit the actual project cost? As a government agency responsible for all matter related to the development of renewable energy in Malaysia, SEDA has to need to: I. Maintain key national statistics such as LCOE, price of modules, market demand, CAPEX, OPEX etc II. Monitor the technological progress in the PV industry III. Provide reports/statistics to the national government and international agencies (ASEAN Center for Energy, IRENA, etc) The RE Act 2011 empowers SEDA to gather information from stakeholders that is deemed to be necessary for SEDA to perform its function 58 FITCD Milestones : Submission of Project Cost– soon required! SEDA will be reactivating Actual Cost submission at point of FiTCD soon… Some modifications will be made based on the feedback received from the recent ASEAN – LCOE study. 59 9.
