Benefit from lower off-peak electricity rates
TNB customers can now benefit from lower electricity rates during off-peak hours under the Time-of-Use (ToU) scheme, which is now open to all customers. This scheme provides an alternative to the General Tariff by offering different rates depending on the time electricity is used—encouraging more efficient energy consumption. Under the ToU scheme, the Energy Charge rate is lower during off-peak periods. For weekdays, off-peak hours run from 10pm to 2pm the following day, while peak hours are from 2pm to 10pm, which is higher than the General Tariff rate. On weekends and selected public holidays, all 24 hours are considered off-peak, offering customers more flexibility and potential cost savings.

The ToU Tariff takes effect within five working days for users with an activated Smart Meter, while those without one may expect a processing and meter upgrading period of up to two months.

ToU scheme offers smarter energy management for consumers
DOMESTIC and non-domestic low-voltage consumers using smart meters now have the opportunity to benefit from the Time of Use (ToU) scheme, aimed at helping them manage daily energy consumption more efficiently. According to the official myTNB website, the ToU scheme—also available to customers with Current Transformer (CT) Operated Meters or Remote Meter Reading (RMR) systems—offers greater flexibility for users to manage their energy usage according to their individual needs. 'With the option to schedule electricity usage during cheaper off-peak hours, consumers can now proactively reduce their monthly bills without compromising comfort,' said Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) on its official website. The initiative is part of the Energy Commission's (ST) recent announcement of a new electricity tariff structure that allows consumers to shift their usage to more affordable off-peak periods. The ToU scheme has been revised and expanded to include longer off-peak periods—the entire day on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as from 10 pm to 2 pm the following day on weekdays (Monday to Friday). Peak hours are from 2 pm to 10 pm on weekdays. For instance, consumers who shift the use of household appliances such as washing machines, air conditioners, or electric vehicle (EV) chargers to off-peak hours may enjoy savings on their electricity bills. 'The off-peak energy charge for monthly usage of 1,500 kilowatt hours (kWh) and below is set at 24.43 sen/kWh. 'Meanwhile, the peak energy charge for the same monthly usage is 28.52 sen/kWh for ToU consumers, compared to 27.03 sen/kWh for general domestic consumers,' the website explained. To help users better understand potential savings, TNB has introduced an online Electricity Bill Calculator on the myTNB portal. Consumers can select their preferred tariff and estimate their bill before deciding to switch to the ToU scheme. Applications to switch to the ToU scheme can be submitted starting July 1, 2025 by emailing the completed application form and required documents to [email protected], or by visiting the nearest Kedai Tenaga. Online applications via the myTNB portal will be available from Aug 1, 2025. For more information, visit or contact TNB CareLine at 1300-88-5454. Information and assistance are also available at all Kedai Tenaga branches nationwide. ‒ July 3, 2025 Main image: Bernama
