KUALA LUMPUR: The Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT) mechanism introduced by the Govern­ment in 2015 has enabled consumers in Peninsular Malaysia to enjoy rebates on their electricity bill of around RM5.4bil from March 2015 to December 2017.

Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Dr Zaini Ujang said the Government also spent around RM3.79bil from 2012 to 2017 to accommodate fuel cost and subsidies, enabling Sabah consumers to enjoy a lower electricity tariff compared to the actual cost of supplying electricity.
