Consumers in peninsular Malaysia can expect higher electricity bill next year as electricity rates increase by 0.73 sen per kilowatt hour (kWh) due to a cut in the power tariff rebate.<\/p>\n
The rebate cut does not apply for Sabah and Labuan and the tariff rate will remain at 1.20 sen\/kWh, said Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili, Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water.<\/p>\n
The rebate in peninsular Malaysia would be reduced from 2.25 sen\/kWh to 1.52 sen\/kWh.<\/p>\n
If your petrol consumption is 1,080 a month, here\u2019s the difference in your bill after the reduction in rebate:<\/p>\n
Rebate: 0.0225 per kWh<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Rebate: 0.0152 per kWh<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Based on the example above, you would see about 2% (RM8.23) increase in your overall bill.<\/p>\n The electricity tariffs will remain the same, at an average of 38.53 sen\/kWh for the peninsula and 33.32 sen\/kWh for Sabah and Labuan.<\/p>\n For Sabah and Labuan, the tariff reduction can be maintained because of the fall in global crude oil prices, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n
