ToU vs General Tariff: What customers need to know


TENAGA Nasional Bhd (TNB) customers can now enjoy potential savings through the Time-of-Use (ToU) scheme.

By offering different rates for Energy Charges during the peak and off-peak hours, the ToU scheme provides an opportunity for customers to shift more of their electricity consumption to off-peak hours when the rates are lower.

This scheme offers an alternative to the General Tariff, providing customers with greater control over their electricity costs. Whether you’re managing a household or running a business, comparing the ToU rates against the standard tariff may reveal opportunities to optimise your energy use and reduce monthly bills.

For domestic customers, the Energy Charge under the General Tariff is 27.03 sen/kWh for usage at or below 1,500 kWh, and 37.03 sen/kWh for usage above that threshold.

Under the ToU scheme, the peak hour rates are slightly higher — 28.52 sen/kWh and 38.52 sen/kWh respectively — but the off-peak rates are significantly lower at 24.43 sen/kWh and 34.43 sen/kWh, respectively.

The ToU scheme offers customers the flexibility to manage electricity consumption more strategically and benefit from the lower rates during off-peak hours. Before applying for ToU, TNB has provided a Bill Calculator to assist customers in estimating their electricity bill under the General Tariff and ToU Tariff.

The Bill Calculator can be found at www.mytnb.com.my/tariff ), as well as the ToU application steps.
