Are you in scope of EECA 2024?
The law catches you two ways: using 21,600 GJ — about 6 GWh — or more of energy a year from all sources, or running an office building of 8,000 m² or more. Enter your figures below and find out where you stand.
Check your site
Enter electricity in kWh and gas and other fuels (diesel, LPG, thermal, converted to MMBtu) in MMBtu. KERO converts both to gigajoules and tests the total against the 21,600 GJ (≈ 6 GWh) energy-consumer threshold, measured over any 12 consecutive months. Separately, an office building with a gross floor area of 8,000 m² or more must keep its Building Energy Intensity to 250 kWh/m²/year — a second route into EECA even below the energy total. This is a guide, not a legal determination; confirm how the Act applies to your site with Suruhanjaya Tenaga or a qualified adviser.
What counts toward the threshold.
EECA 2024 catches you two ways — by total energy use, or by the size of your office building. Here's what decides whether you're in scope.
Every form of energy, added up
Electricity, natural gas, diesel, LPG, thermal — combined into one annual total in gigajoules. A site with heavy gas or diesel use can cross the line even with a modest electricity bill.
Any 12 consecutive months
Not the calendar year. The threshold is a rolling 12-month measure, so a growing site can become an energy consumer part-way through a period — and the obligations start from there.
≈ 6 GWh ≈ 6,000,000 kWh
One gigajoule is about 277.8 kWh. The line lands at roughly a mid-to-large factory, mall, hospital or campus. Once you reach it, ST's notice and the compliance clocks follow.
A large office building
Separate from energy totals: an office building with 8,000 m² gross floor area or more must keep its Building Energy Intensity to 250 kWh/m²/year and display an energy intensity label — a second route into EECA, even below 21,600 GJ.
If you're in scope, here's what follows.
Crossing the threshold makes you a registered energy consumer. From the moment Suruhanjaya Tenaga issues its notice, fixed deadlines apply: a Registered Energy Manager within 3 months, and your first energy audit, an energy management system and reporting within 12 months. Audits then repeat roughly every five years.
The setup that makes those deadlines easy — metering every system, baselining your data, structuring it for Suruhanjaya Tenaga — takes weeks, not days. The earlier you start, the calmer the deadline.
Know where you stand,
then stay ahead of it.
