Conservation Act
(EECA) 2023

22
The development of the Act is the outcome from the DSM Preliminary Study conducted by EPU
in collaboration with UNDP in 2017. The study indicated that a legislative framework is needed
to enable and implement a more comprehensive and effective energy efficiency initiatives.
• 10 Mac 2021
Energy Commission has submitted the Final draft of EECA to
NRECC for submission to AGC

• 5 Mei 2023
The Attorney General Chamber has formally approved the new act
and issued an official letter to the NRECC

• 11 October 2023
Approval of EECA
OBJECTIVES OF EECA DEVELOPMENT
• A need to have comprehensive legislation
(electricity and thermal) to drive energy efficiency.
(Continuation from Prelim-DSM Study by EPU)
• To improve energy efficiency initiative in
industry, commercial and residential sector
• To reduce 45% of carbon emission pledged in
COP21 (Paris Agreement) by 2030 based on
2005 level.
• To support the government aspiration to
achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
• To effectively manage energy demand,
promoting efficient and sustainable energy
consumption practices.
