KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 (Bernama) -- There will be more efficient energy use and conservation through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) which was approved by the Cabinet last month.
Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin said the Bill has to be tabled and approved by Parliament.
“It will be tabled either by the end of this year or next year,” she told reporters after attending a programme in conjunction with the Kuala Lumpur Architect Festival 2019 (KLAF 2019) here today.
Yeo said the new Act would focus on reducing energy use and lower the electricity bills of consumers.
“We find that electricity use in buildings is currently high, so the government wants to find a way, maybe in the design of a building, so that it is more energy-friendly,” she said.
