0154 GMT - Lower system access charges under Malaysia's Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme are expected to accelerate renewable energy project deployment, Affin Hwang IB analysts Ong Tze Hern and Peggie Wong say in a note. The charge will be reduced to 0.14 ringgit a kWh from 0.20 ringgit, improving project economics and potentially bringing forward engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning awards, they say. To qualify, projects must begin operations by end-2028, which could prompt construction to start by 1H 2027, they add. The analysts think CRESS projects are expected to emerge as an additional growth driver for the renewable energy sector, alongside the development of large-scale solar projects. Affin Hwang maintains an overweight rating on Malaysia's renewable energy sector, sees Solarvest and Samaiden as key beneficiaries.
