KUALA LUMPUR, April 7 — Facing Malaysia’s first electricity tariff increase in over a decade, Cheng Hua Engineering Works Sdn Bhd has slashed its energy costs by nearly half.
After installing a self-funded 403 kWp rooftop solar system by EFS Group. The system offsets almost a third of the facility’s total electricity use and is projected to generate 362,280 kWh annually.
Reducing the company’s carbon footprint by 400 tonnes each year. The move comes as the government implements a 14% base electricity tariff rise.
And a carbon tax for heavy industry under Budget 2026. Cheng Hua Engineering’s initiative demonstrates how manufacturers can tackle rising energy costs.
While contributing to sustainability goals, with immediate financial savings and long-term environmental benefits.
