Businesses hoping for lower power tariff


KUCHING: The business and manufacturing community in Sarawak are eagerly awaiting the details of the electricity tariff cut that the Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem promised in his winding up speech at the assembly session on Wednesday.

Adenan is expected to reveal the good news this week, following January’s reduction of domestic tariff which benefitted some 240,000 or close to 50% of Syarikat SESCO Bhd’s customers, who ended up with bills that went down by 40% in some cases. He had said that if Sarawak could build large hydroelectric dams and gave lower tariffs to foreign investors, there was no reason why it could not extend such benefits to the local industries.
