New detailed TNB electricity bills help consumers track energy usage
Under the new system, bills will display three key components: Generation Charge, Network Charge, and Retail Charge. According to TNB's official website, 'The Generation Charge covers fuel costs, generation capacity, and global fuel price adjustments. The Network Charge involves operational costs for transmission and supply system maintenance, while the Retail Charge includes customer service, billing, and account management costs.'
This change is part of the Incentive-Based Regulation (IBR) mechanism under Section 26 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990. The detailed breakdown allows customers to track spending more accurately and make informed decisions about energy use.
For July 2025, customers will receive a transitional bill reflecting two different tariff periods: usage before June 30 (old rates) and from July 1 onwards (new rates). 'The July 2025 transitional bill will be available within 24 hours via the myTNB app and portal, while printed bills will be delivered within seven working days,' TNB stated.
To assist users, TNB has also introduced an online Electricity Bill Calculator on its website, enabling customers to estimate costs under the new structure. For further details, visit www.mytnb.com.my/tariff or contact TNB CareLine at 1300-88-5454.

The government approved the new structure under the Incentive-Based Regulation (IBR) mechanism under Section 26 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990. According to the official myTNB website, customers will receive bills that include a breakdown of three main components: Generation Charge, Network Charge, and Retail Charge. This approach aims to enhance transparency and help users better understand the structure of their electricity bills. "The Generation Charge covers fuel costs, generation capacity, and global fuel price adjustments. The Network Charge involves operational costs for transmission and supply system maintenance, while the Retail Charge includes customer service, billing, and account management costs," the website said. This more detailed billing format is designed to enhance transparency and enable consumers to understand the structure of their electricity charges clearly. "This information allows TNB customers to analyse every sen spent and make smarter daily energy management decisions," the website added. In July, customers will receive a transitional bill reflecting two sets of usage charges for different periods: up to June 30, 2025 (calculated under the old tariff) and from July 1, 2025 (based on the new tariff structure). "The July 2025 transitional bill will be available within 24 hours via the myTNB app and portal, while printed bills will be delivered within seven working days from the meter reading date," the website said. To ensure transparency and clarity for customers, TNB will distribute a meter reader verification slip as proof that a reading has been conducted.

Additionally, to help users adapt to the changes, TNB has provided an online Electricity Bill Calculator on its official myTNB website, allowing customers to estimate their bills based on usage and the new tariff rates.

Fahmi: Action will be taken if public reports power price manipulation
GEORGE TOWN: The government will respond promptly to public complaints about profiteering or price manipulation linked to the new electricity tariff. Government spokesman Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry had today launched Op Kesan 4.0 to prevent such activities. "I am in constant contact with minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali to get real-time updates. "If netizens raise any issues, we will respond promptly. "We believe most premises will remain under control in terms of pricing," he told reporters here today. He was met after the launch of YTL Communications' Tanjung Asam six-way Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) base station. The new electricity tariff in Peninsular Malaysia comes into effect today as part of a major energy sector reform. The new schedule, announced by the Energy Commission, introduces a streamlined structure with separate categories for domestic and non-domestic users, and revised charges for energy, capacity, network and retail components. Fahmi, who is also the communications minister, was asked to comment on the new tariff and public concerns over its impact. He said, as announced by the Energy Commission, 23.6 million Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) accounts in Peninsular Malaysia would not be affected. In fact, he said, the new basic tariff is 19 per cent lower than initially expected. "Therefore, all TNB accounts using less than 1,000 kWh monthly are not only expected to maintain their current bills but may even see a reduction. "This is based on information published by TNB. "For most households, their bills will remain the same or decrease," he said. ne major reform introduced by the Energy Transition and Water Transformation is the Time-of-Use (ToU) system, he said. From today, 2pm to 10pm is considered peak time. "By using high-energy appliances outside this window, consumers can save on electricity costs. "This is because factories and industries mostly operate during peak hours. "The government is now giving people the choice to manage their electricity use more effectively," he added.
