(TNB pic)PETALING JAYA: Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) has dismissed a widely circulated electricity tariff schedule on WhatsApp as fake, urging the public not to fall for any misinformation
In a statement today, TNB clarified that the schedule, which bears the TNB logo and claims of a tariff hike, is fake and was not issued by the company.
“The false schedule misleadingly suggests a tariff increase that features the TNB logo,” it said.
“The circulation of such false information is creating unnecessary confusion among customers.”
TNB stressed that as of today, no official announcement has been made regarding any changes to electricity tariffs affecting consumers.
The company also reminded the public to be responsible with the content they share online.
“We strongly advise the public to avoid sharing unverified information,” it said.
For accurate and updated information, TNB urged consumers to refer only to official government and TNB platforms for any updates on electricity tariffs.
Last December, TNB proposed a new tariff schedule with a base tariff of 45.62 sen per kilowatt-hour for Peninsular Malaysia under Regulatory Period 4 (RP4), for implementation from July 1, 2025.
The base tariff under RP3 had been set at 39.95 sen/kWh between 2022 and 2024.
Deputy prime minister Fadillah Yusof then said no decision had been made on the new tariff as the government was still finalising the matter.
Fadillah is also the energy transition and water transformation minister. - FMT
