Hire a Registered Energy ManagerWhat Is a Registered Energy Manager (REM)?
A Registered Energy Manager (REM) is a certified competent person appointed by an installation to manage, monitor, and analyze energy consumption under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024. The REM acts as the liaison between the facility owner and the Energy Commission (Suruhanjaya Tenaga), ensuring the facility meets mandatory energy intensity standards, maintains the Energy Management System (EnMS), and submits all required legal documents to avoid penalties.
Why You Need a REM Now
Under EECA 2024, appointing a REM is not a choice—it is a legal requirement for "Affected Installations."
- Who Must Appoint a REM: You are legally required to appoint a REM if your facility consumes >21,600 Gigajoules (GJ) per year (equivalent to 6 million kilowatt-hours).
- The Penalty for Non-Compliance: Failure to appoint a REM or submit the required reports results in fines ranging from RM20,000 to RM100,000 per offense.
- The Risk: Without a REM, your facility cannot legally submit the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Report. The Energy Commission can issue a directive to cease operations or audit your facility at your own cost if non-compliance continues.
Confusion Buster: Do You Need a REM or an REA?
Under EECA 2024, you need both, as they serve different roles.
| Feature | Registered Energy Manager (REM) | Registered Energy Auditor (REA) |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Your "In-House" Doctor (Continuous) | Your "Specialist" Surgeon (Periodic) |
| Frequency | Monthly & Yearly (Retainer) | Once Every 5 Years (Mandatory Audit) |
| Primary Task | Monitors daily EnMS, submits annual reports. | Conducts a deep-dive technical audit. |
| Deliverable | Continuous Compliance & submit the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Report. | Detailed Audit Report & Improvement Plan. |
Important: You need a REM continuously to manage your energy data, while the REA is engaged periodically to verify it. Techikara Engineering provides both professionals under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can my existing Maintenance Manager be appointed as the REM?
Only if they hold a valid REM certificate from Suruhanjaya Tenaga. If not, you must appoint an external REM (like Techikara) or train staff to get certified.
2. How much is the fine if we do not appoint a REM?
The penalty can reach up to RM100,000, and continuing offenses can lead to further fines or imprisonment.
3. Does the REM need to be on-site every day?
No. A Class 1 or Class 2 REM typically visits monthly or quarterly, but they monitor your data continuously remotely.
4. What is the difference between a REEM (Electrical) and REM (Energy)?
REEM (EMEER 2008) is superseded by EECA 2024. A REM now focuses on total energy efficiency (thermal + electrical).
5. How do I know if I exceed the 21,600 GJ threshold?
21,600 GJ is approximately 6 million kWh per year. This includes all energy sources (electricity, gas, diesel).
6. What documents will the REM sign?
The REM endorses the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Report and validates EnMS data.
7. Can we hire a REM on a contract basis?
Yes. Most companies outsource this role to consultants like Techikara to avoid the high cost of a full-time senior engineer.
8. What happens during the REM's monthly visit?
We inspect major energy users, verify meter readings, update EnMS data, and discuss savings measures.
9. Is the REM responsible for the Building Energy Intensity (BEI) Label?
Yes. For office buildings, the REM calculates the BEI and submits data to ST to obtain your Star Rating Label.
10. Do we need a REM if we are already ISO 50001 certified?
Yes. ISO 50001 is a standard; EECA 2024 is a law. You legally need a registered person to sign government submissions.
11. What is the difference between REM Type 1 and REM Type 2?
The primary difference lies in the energy intensity of the facility they are qualified to manage under the EECA 2024:
REM Type 1 (Class 1): For Facilities Consuming between 21,600 GJ and 50,000 GJ per year. (Approx. 6,000,000 kWh to 13,900,000 kWh per year).
REM Type 2 (Class 2): For Facilities Consuming more than 50,000 GJ per year. (Approx. more than 13,900,000 kWh per year).
