00:00The Energy Commission has no immediate plans to review electricity tariffs, but consumers
00:05have been advised to brace for higher bills due to rising global fuel costs, says its
00:11CEO Siti Safina Saleh.
00:13Siti Safina said Malaysia remains partially exposed to global energy price fluctuations,
00:19despite having a relatively stable domestic supply mix.
00:24She said Malaysia still imports some natural gas and depends entirely on imported coal
00:29for electricity generation.
00:31She added that rising costs come not only from fuel prices but also from logistics and
00:37insurance linked to global supply disruptions.
00:40She also said although the increase may not be very high or as severe as in some other
00:45countries, there will still be an increase in costs.
00:49The Nagel Nacional Berhad yesterday announced that rebates from its AFA system would be reduced
00:55from 0.0215 cent per kilowatt hour to 0.0047 cent per kilowatt hour for homes in West Malaysia
01:04starting in April.
01:06This means households using more than 600 kilowatt hour per month with bills exceeding RM215.98
01:14can expect to pay more for electricity this month.
