Goverment may review PPA to keep electricity tariff affordable


THE Government is studying the proposal to review the Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with the first generation independent power producers involving an amount of RM1.57bil in order to help the people cope with the increasing electricity tariff, the House heard.

“Based on the Imbalance Cost Pass Through (ICPT) mechanism, the fuel cost will be reviewed every six months and any changes or fluctuations, will be passed-through in the end-user tariff,” said Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili.
