Fairer electricity rates for 23.6 million in Peninsular Malaysia

Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA) will replace the ICPT mechanism, enabling monthly updates to electricity charges based on market fuel prices and forex rates, according to the Energy Commission.

Over 23.6 million domestic users in Peninsular Malaysia will benefit from fairer and more progressive electricity rates with the implementation of the new electricity tariff schedule approved by the government.

This tariff will take effect from July 1 to Dec 31 2027 under the Incentive-Based Regulation (IBR) framework, in line with the provisions under Section 26 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990.
