Electricity Tariff

The installation of solar panels in rural community Malaysia are still preliminarily explored due to the excessive cost and limited access to the technology. This limitation has also led to dissemination delays especially in public-funded buildings such as mosques, public halls, hospitals and schools.  Meanwhile, the existing subsidy of electricity supply rate to the society has led the community to become highly dependent and demanded on the power supply from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB). Therefore, the increase of electricity tariff since 2014, has subsequently resulted in the increasing charge of monthly electricity bills. Without awareness, the electricity usage and charges will keep on increasing and may affect the monthly expenses especially to the public and private institutions. This situation may become worst to the self-funded institutions in rural areas including the ‘tahfiz’, international and conventional religious schools. The concern of this excessive charges on electricity tariff may influence these institutions to outsource funds such as through collecting donations from the community in which are not sustainably sufficient.  Therefore, this research investigates an alternative supply of electricity that may reduce the cost and will benefit the institutions through bill-savings.  The objective is to determine whether solar panel installation through a community-service programme can help the institutions to not only becoming electricity-sufficient but could also save the energy by generating power from solar energy.  A case study was conducted at the ‘tahfiz’ school in Perak Tengah to determine the effectiveness of how this institution could reduce electricity bills besides establishing the green energy initiative.  Remarkably, through the installation of a 2 kW solar power system, this research has discovered that the institutions have successfully saved 70% of the existing monthly electricity expenses.  Therefore, this finding acknowledged solar energy through community-service as sufficient green initiative programme towards achieving sustainable living.

Access To Knowledge

Reliable and affordable energy is the key for the socio-economic development in rural and desert communities worldwide. While energy can be used for consumption purposes such as Lighting, Access to Information, Comfort and Entertainment, productive use of renewable energy is the key enabler for SMEs and Economy to grow. The paper examines the complex interactions among Energy, Materials, Water, Food, Building, Employment and Environment. It also discusses the implementation of renewable energy technologies to overcome some of barriers faced by rural villages and desert communities. It shows some of the special applications and approaches used over the past few decades in energy conversion, consumption and conservation to achieve poverty reduction, social justice and sustainable development. Field experiences in Basaisa projects, Egypt showed that open free dialogues with all stakeholders, site-specific education and training, appropriate local financing systems and access to knowledge are key-elements and essential factors for achieving green economy and sustainable community development. The coming decade will see a continued expansion of knowledge about renewable energy resources and its useful applications as systems friendly to the environment and as tools for economic activities, sustainable living and growth in rural and desert communities.

The Impact

Abstract The paper focuses on the very topical issue of conclusion of the membership of the State, namely the United Kingdom, in European integration structures. The ques­tion of termination of membership in European Communities and European Union has not been tackled for a long time in the sources of European law. With the adop­tion of the Treaty of Lisbon (2009), the institute of 'unilateral' withdrawal was intro­duced. It´s worth to say that exit clause was intended as symbolic in its nature, in fact underlining the status of Member States as sovereign entities. That is why this institute is very general and the legal regulation of the exercise of withdrawal contains many gaps. One of them is a question of absolute or relative nature of exiting from integration structures. Today’s “exit clause” (Art. 50 of Treaty on European Union) regulates only the termination of membership in the European Union and is silent on the impact of such a step on membership in the European Atomic Energy Community. The presented paper offers an analysis of different variations of the interpretation and solution of the problem. It´s based on the independent solution thesis and therefore rejects an automa­tism approach. The paper and topic is important and original especially because in the multitude of scholarly writings devoted to Brexit questions, vast majority of them deals with institutional questions, the interpretation of Art. 50 of Treaty on European Union; the constitutional matters at national UK level; future relation between EU and UK and political bargaining behind such as all that. The question of impact on withdrawal on Euratom membership is somehow underrepresented. Present paper attempts to fill this gap and accelerate the scholarly debate on this matter globally, because all consequences of Brexit already have and will definitely give rise to more world-wide effects.
