Anybody know if this has been implemented? Means for cost saving for us



SAVE or Sustainability Achieved via Energy Efficiency, is a programme  aimed to improve energy efficiency in Malaysia through five initiatives.

The first initiative is to stimulate sales of energy-efficient appliances by providing rebates for refrigerators, air-conditioners and chillers to qualified consumers.

Under the initiative, qualified consumers who purchase electrical appliances that have five-star will be given a rebate up RM200.


For a start, the rebates would be for refrigerators and freezers for the domestic sector and chillers for businesses. RM200 will be given to a new refrigerator and RM100 for an air-conditioner.

The rebates would be given at the point of sale and the retailers would then claim the amount from the Government.

This government-funded initiative is part of Economic Transformation Programme,(ETP) and it is headed by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (MEGTW),

Government expected to announce the rebate on 7th July and it will cost the government RM50.2 million in 2011.

SAVE will be implemented through the collaboration between the Ministry and utility companies, Tenaga Nasional Bhd, Sarawak Electricity Bhd and Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd as well as the participating appliance manufacturing companies.

yahor i also hear bout this but dunno how true is it h,, anyone can confirm this or we should just go ask retailer ?

Yes. Heard of it.

begin first of July. refer ECM for more of the list product.

we just bought new fridge last month.... no rebate.

ECM?

Not only I didn't get my rebate for my Hitachi inverter fridge, the price has increased by RM100 within a month! I had to pay the extra amount.

i thought the rebate only starts effectively 7th July?

heard have to register with TNB
also the campaign start this 1st july
need more detail too

Not much detail at all. Google searched, only news.

If the rebate is given at point of sale by the vendor, then why have to register with TNB

Typical Malaysia way of implementing system. Did not give detail

Starting today (7 July 2011 - 2 pm) you can get RM200 rebate for fridge and RM100 rebate for air-conditioner.
For further information, you can check here http://www.saveenergy.gov.my/

Need to buy from specific shop. I think most of this shop sell at higher price. Don't have Legend SS2.

I just check today as it's 7th July however i been to 4 eletrical shop big and small at Puchong and 2 say u must claim from GOV ur self, 1 say big lies from GOV, another 1 say they heard of it but never got official notification from GOV that they can claim the 200 after given out the rebate to buyer ~ Malaysia

Because the authorized dealer are selling more expensive mah.

so call Malaysia Boleh

ESH gives good pricings if you nego. Normally they match Legend pricing if i let them know their price (not always 100% thoough). Aftersales service is good though.

Anyway on topic: You need to get the e-Voucher (got mine for A/C just now, fridge sadly not for me - consumption too high), take it with your electric bill and IC and go to the shop. then you get the discount.

Sidely sidestepping: I am planing on getting a new 5* fridge. Anyone has a voucher and doesnt want to use it in / around PJ and is willing to buy one with me at ESH SS2? Offering compensation - PM me.

how to get the e-Voucher? online?

you can check whether you are qualified or not by providing your electricity bill account number and other particulars.. the system will show you the results..

by the way, I'm working with one of those participating retailer..

just sharing with you guys, you can try to bargain in some shops.. e.g if the price displayed for 5* fridge RM2799 try ask for RM2600 or as lowest as you can get coz some shops display the easy payment price (for customer who wants to use AEON Credit Service-ACS) so if you are going to pay cash, you can buy it at lower price... so if you have the fridge voucher you might get the fridge at RM2400 only.. anyway it's just an example..

When you buy, don't hesitate to bargain.. and most important, do some price survey 1st.. most shops offers price that are about RM150-RM100 higher/lower from their competitors.. make sure you get the best price...

thank you very much for your sharing ya will go check if i am eligible or not
