Benefit from lower off-peak electricity rates
TNB customers can now benefit from lower electricity rates during off-peak hours under the Time-of-Use (ToU) scheme, which is now open to all customers. This scheme provides an alternative to the General Tariff by offering different rates depending on the time electricity is used—encouraging more efficient energy consumption. Under the ToU scheme, the Energy Charge rate is lower during off-peak periods. For weekdays, off-peak hours run from 10pm to 2pm the following day, while peak hours are from 2pm to 10pm, which is higher than the General Tariff rate. On weekends and selected public holidays, all 24 hours are considered off-peak, offering customers more flexibility and potential cost savings. Click image to enlarge To apply for the ToU scheme, customers can submit their application via email; visit the nearest Kedai Tenaga; or soon, through the myTNB app and portal. The ToU Tariff takes effect within five working days for users with an activated Smart Meter, while those without one may expect a processing and meter upgrading period of up to two months.

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.

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 ), as well as the ToU application steps.
