PUTRAJAYA: Households which purchase an energy-efficient refrigerator and air conditioner this year will be given an e-rebate of RM200.
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Datuk Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah (
pix) said the e-rebate was under the Sustainability Achieved via Energy Efficiency (SAVE) 2.0 programme with an allocation of RM30 million approved under the 2021 Budget and is expected to benefit 150,000 households.
The e-rebate involved the purchase of locally made 4 or 5 star energy efficient refrigerators and air conditioners, or those manufactured and certified by Sirim or its equivalent in Malaysia, he said.
“This rebate is limited to one account only for every air conditioning or refrigerator purchase in 2021 or until the quota runs out, whichever comes first,“ he told reporters after launching the SAVE 2.0 programme, here today.
