GeRAK Smart Pole
CTSB collaborates with the Johor Bahru City Council (MBJB) to implement low carbon city programs through Smart & Low Carbon Initiatives (SLCI) and the Low Carbon Cities Framework (LCCF). The LCCF, an initiative of the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Centre (MGTC) under the Ministry of Environment and Water (KASA), offers the Geran Pemangkin Bandar Rendah Karbon (GeRAK) grant to encourage energy efficiency and low-carbon development in Johor Bahru. GeRAK focuses on five key elements:building energy efficiency, water efficiency, public transportation enhancement, waste reduction, and green space expansion. MBJB utilize smart technologies in their commitment to climate adaptation and building sustainable low-carbon cities. To apply for GeRAK grants, organizations must submit detailed proposals showcasing their planned energy-efficient measures or renewable energy projects. Successful proposals, evaluated by experts, receive funding support. In the past two years, CTSB has helped MBJB secure approximately RM 280,000 through the GeRAK initiative, deploying smart street light solutions that save RM30,000 annually. These lights, combining solar power and LED technology with smart sensors, are significantly more energy-efficient than traditional lighting.
