KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 — Domestic electricity users who consumed more than 600kWh in September will receive a pro-rated credit in their October bills, following the government’s decision to raise the bill protection threshold to 800kWh per month.
Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) confirmed the move today, explaining that the adjustment follows Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s announcement on September 17 to expand the threshold.
From September until December 31, domestic customers with a monthly usage of 800kWh or below are fully exempt from the Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA), the RM10 Retail Charge, and the 8% service tax.
The September adjustment will be calculated on a pro-rated basis and credited directly to October bills. Users can identify these credits via two specific line items: “PELARASAN BIL (SEP 2026)” and “PELARASAN CUKAI PERKHIDMATAN (8%) (SEP 2026)”.
