Itemised electricity bills to aid consumers understand energy use
The government approved the new structure under the Incentive-Based Regulation (IBR) mechanism under Section 26 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990.
According to the official myTNB website, customers will receive bills that include a breakdown of three main components: Generation Charge, Network Charge, and Retail Charge. This approach aims to enhance transparency and help users better understand the structure of their electricity bills.
"The Generation Charge covers fuel costs, generation capacity, and global fuel price adjustments. The Network Charge involves operational costs for transmission and supply system maintenance, while the Retail Charge includes customer service, billing, and account management costs," the website said.
This more detailed billing format is designed to enhance transparency and enable consumers to understand the structure of their electricity charges clearly.
"This information allows TNB customers to analyse every sen spent and make smarter daily energy management decisions," the website added.
In July, customers will receive a transitional bill reflecting two sets of usage charges for different periods: up to June 30, 2025 (calculated under the old tariff) and from July 1, 2025 (based on the new tariff structure).
"The July 2025 transitional bill will be available within 24 hours via the myTNB app and portal, while printed bills will be delivered within seven working days from the meter reading date," the website said.
To ensure transparency and clarity for customers, TNB will distribute a meter reader verification slip as proof that a reading has been conducted.
Beginning August, customers will receive electricity bills that provide a detailed breakdown of charges according to the new structure.
Additionally, to help users adapt to the changes, TNB has provided an online Electricity Bill Calculator on its official myTNB website, allowing customers to estimate their bills based on usage and the new tariff rates.

Malaysian Gig Workers Bill to be tabled this month despite delay, says Steven Sim
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Gig Workers Bill will be tabled in Parliament in August despite a last-minute delay, says Steven Sim. The Human Resources Minister said that the Bill, which was supposed to the tabled in Aug 14, sought to safeguard workers' rights while avoiding undue strain on businesses and the economy. "The Bill would mark Malaysia's first legislation for gig workers, placing the country among only 16 or 17 nations worldwide with such laws. 'When we crafted this Bill, we engaged over 4,000 stakeholders — from employers and unions to academics and NGOs — to ensure it provides protection for workers while not imposing unnecessary burdens on the system,' Sim said at the Asean & Beyond: Young Entrepreneurs Dialogue 2025 on Saturday (Aug 16). Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had said that the Bill would be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat for its first reading on Aug 14, with the second reading supposed to take place on Aug 26. However, the Bill has yet to be tabled so far due to a last-minute delay. Sim said that the Bill, which he stressed would be tabled sometime this month, represented a crucial step for Malaysia in striking a balance between nurturing its digital and gig economy and ensuring fair treatment for workers. 'The government has always been rational when it comes to balancing development with protection. We want to see the digital economy grow, but not at the expense of workers' rights,' he said. Addressing concerns from businesses about rising labour costs, Sim said that protecting workers was not only a government responsibility but also a business imperative. 'Post-Covid, one of the most valuable assets in business is human capital. If you don't protect your workers, you will lose talent. They will move to places like Singapore, where opportunities and wages are better,' he said. He urged business leaders to play a greater role in raising wages, improving conditions and safeguarding workers' welfare, adding that this was vital for retaining talent both in Malaysia and across the region. Meanwhile, Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) president Datuk Ng Yih Pyng said the Asean & Beyond: Young Entrepreneurs Dialogue 2025 was built on three key objectives: to provide a platform for Asean youth to exchange ideas, to encourage socio-economic cooperation, and to expand regional markets to create more opportunities for young entrepreneurs. 'This platform is about forging partnerships, sparking innovation and fostering inclusive economic growth. I encourage all of you to use this opportunity to share ideas, build relationships and create impact, not only for your enterprises but for a vibrant and resilient Asean economy,' he said in his welcoming remarks. Ng stressed that young entrepreneurs were at the forefront of shaping the region's future by driving innovation, building resilience and opening new markets. As organiser, ACCCIM remained committed to empowering future business leaders by equipping them with networks, knowledge and platforms to build a connected, innovative and sustainable Asean. He added that the dialogue came at a time of shifting global trade dynamics, with several Asean economies, including Malaysia, facing US-imposed tariffs averaging 19%, while others faced tariffs of between 10% and 40%. Ng said that under the Asean Community Vision 2025, the Asean Economic Community had significant potential to boost intra-regional trade, supported by a population of nearly 660 million and a combined GDP of more than US$3.8 trillion. 'To harness these advantages, we must remain agile, diversify supply chains, maximise benefits from RCEP, promote local currency settlements and support Asean-led green initiatives,' he said.

Decades-long wait ends as Melaka hands over 47 approval letter for railway reserve land
ALOR GAJAH: After more than 30 years, the issue involving railway reserve land in Pengkalan here has been resolved, with the Melaka government handing over 47 approval letters for state land application, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh. He said the handover ceremony reflected the state government's concern in understanding the community's needs and ensuring that every policy and development project delivers a positive impact on the people's lives. "A total of 45 applications involved the Pengkalan railway reserve land that had been delayed for three decades, and two plots for temples. "Also approved was Tenaga Nasional Bhd's (TNB) application to place a substation on Plot 1, Mukim Kelemak, Alor Gajah district, which will provide electricity to residential, commercial, hospital, and government office areas, benefiting more than 3,050 users," he said today. He said this at the handover of the approval letters in conjunction with the Wakil Rakyat Untuk Rakyat (WRUR) programme for the Rembia state constituency, which was also attended by the coordinator for the constituency, Datuk Fairul Nizam Roslan. He said this year, 96 state land applications have been approved in the district, followed by the issuance of Notice 5A by the land administrator. Notice 5A is an official document informing applicants of the fees due, including document preparation and registration costs, that they must pay to obtain the land titles. "It is on this land that new homes will be built, gardens will be filled with flowers, children will run and play, and families will gather every weekend. "Its value is not merely measured in square feet, but in the space to build a life and pass down a legacy of peace to future generations," he said. He said the state government imposes land premiums below market rates, ranging between RM9,000 and RM25,000, depending on the land size, compared to hundreds of thousands of ringgit. "A special five per cent discount is offered to Notice 5A recipients who settle payment within three months, subject to the condition that no extension requests or appeals for premium reduction are made," he added. – Bernama
