About SWITCH! Campaign
Energy is one of the foundations in developing a country. The main issue is the ability of a country to cater the people's needs and the ever increasing energy cost concurrently. Domestic, commercial and industrial consumers must realise the importance of 'efficiency' in the usage of energy and to play our roles and responsibility together with the government.
Realising this, Water and Energy Consumer Association of Malaysia (WECAM) or formerly known as Environment Desk of FOMCA has developed a 10 year framework, National Energy Efficiency Plan. This campaign is the first step in the implementation of the plan. This campaign is also supported by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology, and Water (formerly known as Ministry of Energy, Water and Communication), Energy Commission, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, and National Energy Centre.
