PETALING JAYA: A total of 9.1 million domestic and non-domestic Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) account holders will enjoy a discount for their electricity bills under the National People’s Well-Being and Economic Recovery Package (Pemulih).

A discount of 5% to 40% will be offered to 7.4 million domestic account holders, while 1.6 million small and medium enterprise (SME) account holders will receive a 5% discount under the specific low-voltage commercial, industrial and agricultural tariff categories, TNB said.

The Pemulih electricity discount applies to electricity usage from July 1 until Sept 30 for both domestic and SME categories.

Six business sectors that were part of the previous Pemerkasa Plus package will continue to receive a 10% discount until Dec 31 under Pemulih.

These sectors are hotel operators, travel and tour agencies, shopping centres, convention centres, theme parks and local airline companies.

Account holders in the peninsula will also continue to receive the Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT) rebate amounting to two sen per kilowatt hour until end of the year.

The discount will be reflected in the account holder’s electricity bill starting July 15, while the discount for account holders who receive their bill from July 1-14 will be reflected in August.

TNB also promised, throughout Phase One of the National Recovery Plan, that there will be no electricity supply cuts for all account holders, and that it will postpone electricity supply cuts for domestic consumers who have bill arrears not exceeding six months until Sept 30, and an instalment plan for domestic account holders until Dec 31.
