Energy Audit Conditional Grant (EACG) RMK-13
Secure Your Government-Funded Energy Audit Before the Grant Runs Out.
Get a comprehensive, SEDA-compliant Energy Audit for your commercial building or industrial facility, fully subsidized or heavily co-funded under the RMK-13 initiative. Meet your sustainability targets and prepare for EECA 2024 compliance without the upfront capital expenditure.
What Is the EACG RMK-13?
The Energy Audit Conditional Grant (EACG) is an initiative under the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK-13), managed by the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Malaysia. It provides financial assistance to eligible commercial and industrial sectors to conduct professional energy audits. The goal is to identify energy wastage, propose cost-effective Energy Saving Measures (ESMs), and help Malaysia transition to a low-carbon economy.
Why You Need This Now
If you operate a large commercial building or factory, doing nothing is no longer an option.
- The Grant Pool is Limited: The EACG operates on a strictly first-come, first-served basis. Once the allocated RMK-13 funds are depleted, SEDA will close the application window.
- EECA 2024 is Here: Under the newly gazetted Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024, mandatory energy audits will be legally required for high-energy consumers (those exceeding 21,600 GJ or approx. 6,000,000 kWh per year).
- The Financial Risk: If you miss this grant, you will be forced to pay the full commercial rate for an energy audit out of your own pocket (often ranging from RM60,000 to RM100,000+) to comply with the law. Non-compliance under EECA carries severe legal penalties and fines. Act now to use government funds to fulfill your upcoming legal obligations.
What You Will Receive (The Deliverable)
We do not just give you "advice"—we deliver tangible, bankable engineering products that satisfy SEDA’s strict criteria.
- SEDA-Certified Energy Audit Report: A comprehensive, heavily detailed engineering document breaking down your facility's exact energy consumption, baseline data, and Building Energy Index (BEI).
- Proposal for Energy Saving Measures (ESMs): A financial and technical breakdown of No-Cost, Low-Cost, and High-Cost measures to reduce your electricity bill, including ROI and payback period calculations.
- Grant Submission Management: We handle the complex bureaucratic paperwork, SEDA portal submissions, and technical queries on your behalf to secure the grant.
- Decarbonization Data Pack: Verified energy data ready to be converted into Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) calculations for your company's ESG/Bursa Malaysia sustainability reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Who is eligible to apply for the EACG RMK-13? The grant is primarily targeted at commercial buildings (such as hospitals, hotels, universities, and shopping malls) and industrial facilities (factories) that meet specific SEDA electricity consumption thresholds. Contact us to verify your exact eligibility status.
- Does the EACG cover the entire cost of the Energy Audit? The grant provides significant financial assistance, often covering a large percentage of the total audit cost up to a capped maximum amount set by SEDA. Any remaining balance is a fraction of the standard market rate. Usually, we waived the remaining balance.
- Will this audit satisfy the new EECA 2024 requirements? Yes. An audit conducted by our Registered Energy Auditor (REA) following the SEDA framework produces the exact baseline data and reporting structure required for compliance under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act 2024.
- What happens if our building fails to implement the suggested energy-saving measures? The grant is "conditional." SEDA typically requires the applicant to implement at least the No-Cost or Low-Cost Energy Saving Measures (ESMs) identified in the report within a certain timeframe to justify the funding.
- How long does the energy audit process take? From grant approval to the final report delivery, the process usually takes about 8 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your facility.
- Do we have to stop our operations during the audit? No. Our technical team conducts non-intrusive measurements using advanced power quality analyzers and data loggers. Your daily business operations will not be disrupted. Only for the compressor audit, we need to wait for the factory shutdown.
- Can we use any consultant for this grant? No. To qualify for the SEDA EACG, the audit must be led by an Energy Service Company (ESCO) and signed off by a Registered Energy Auditor (REA) recognized by the Energy Commission (Suruhanjaya Tenaga). Techikara is an ESCO and provides certified in-house REAs for your project.
- We are a factory, not a commercial building. Can we still get a grant? Yes. You may use it as it is under the industrial sector quota.
- What documents do I need to prepare for the application? Initially, we need your latest 12 months of electricity bills, Sijil SSM, Sijil Pepasangan (Borang B2), and Single Line Diagram (SLD).
- Why should we choose Techikara Engineering? With 10 years of experience with more than 30 commercial buildings and factories audited, we don't just write reports to get the grant money. We provide practical, engineering-backed solutions that actually lower your TNB bills. Plus, having both an REA and a REM (Type 2) in-house ensures you have a continuous compliance partner for the long term.
