How to become a Feed-in Approval Holder

In order to be entitled to sell renewable energy at the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) rate, a Feed-in
Approval (FiA) will have to be applied to and granted by SEDA Malaysia. The
application for the FiA can be done both manually or online via SEDA Malaysias official
website. Application forms will be made available on SEDA Malaysias website and hard
copies will be made available at SEDA Malaysias office. There is no preferential
treatment for FiA applications. Instead all FiA applications will be treated fairly and
equally through a transparent application process. An online FiA application system will
be made available.
