### English
- **Programme Launch**: The Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (Solar ATAP) commenced on January 1, 2026, to bolster national energy self-sufficiency.
- **Objective**: The initiative aims to reduce electricity price volatility impacts by encouraging rooftop solar adoption among domestic and non-domestic users.
- **Financial Accessibility**: Non-domestic consumers can utilize solar leasing or rent-to-own models, eliminating the need for upfront capital.
- **Industrial Options**: Large-scale energy consumers (MV, HV, UHV) are encouraged to explore the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) for long-term green power.
- **Efficiency Measures**: PETRA promotes energy-saving habits, such as setting air conditioning to 24°C and utilizing Time of Use (ToU) schemes to lower costs.
