Free electricity from next month if usage under RM20

PUTRAJAYA: Consumers who have monthly electricity bills of RM20 or less will not have to pay a sen from Oct 1.

A Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) spokesman said such consumers would receive the rebate directly in their bills.

However, he said TNB staff would continue to conduct meter-reading in accordance with the company’s prevailing practice.

“If a consumer’s bill is less than RM20 for a particular month and there are no other arrears or outstanding amount, the bill will then be RM0, which will be stated as a ‘government rebate’,” he said here yesterday.

“Consumers are also advised to refer to the ‘Amount to be Paid’ column on their bill for the final amount due to TNB for that particular bill.”
