  "account": "Malaysia's government has announced a new 250MW feed-in tariff (FiT) program, set to launch in 2027, which is expected to attract RM3 billion in investments and create over 5,000 jobs. The program, managed by the Ministry of Energy, Technology and Water (Petra), will involve a mix of 30MW biogas, 120MW biohydrogen, and 100MW small hydro projects on the mainland and Labuan. Interested parties can apply through an online bidding system via the Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia (Seda) portal from February 3 to March 24, 2027. The new FiT scheme aims to generate RM3 billion in investment, including RM510 million for locally manufactured engine and generator sets. It is also expected to create more than 5,000 direct and indirect jobs. Petra stated that this step is part of the government's efforts to increase the capacity of renewable mixed energy (TBB) to 70% by 2050. Projects under the approved scheme are expected to start generating and supplying green electricity as early as 2030. Since the FiT was introduced in 2011, a total of 1,660.50MW of capacity for all TBB sources has been licensed, involving 9,658 projects across the country. Further details on the application process, including training sessions for bidders and the submission deadline for e-bidding applications, can be found on the Seda Malaysia portal at https://www.seda.gov.my/reportal/fit.",
