KUALA LUMPUR, September 16 — Tenaga Nasional Berhad said customers have received RM3.1 billion in Automatic Fuel Adjustment rebates since the mechanism was introduced in July 2025.
Compared with RM800 million in surcharges. TNB said AFA adjusts electricity costs according to fuel prices and foreign exchange movements and does not generate profit for the utility.
The September 2026 surcharge is 3.67 sen per kWh. Domestic customers consuming 600kWh or less monthly remain exempt from AFA charges.
The government has also provided RM435 million through the Electricity Industry Fund to cushion surcharge impacts.
