TNB tells university students they can breathe easy about their electricity bills. The power company says most college kids will dodge the latest tariff hikes that hit the country last Tuesday. Students renting regular homes or staying at campus dorms should see their monthly bills stay the same.
The electricity giant rolled out a new Time of Use plan that helps people cut costs. Students can run washing machines, air conditioners, and computers during cheaper hours when fewer people use power. Heavy appliances cost less to operate during these quiet periods.
Schools and colleges across Malaysia score a sweet deal with 10 percent off their electricity bills. Religious buildings and charity homes also grab the same discount. TNB says this move helps schools keep their costs down without passing extra charges to students.
The company throws another bone to light users who burn less than 1,000 kilowatt-hours monthly. These energy savers earn special incentives that shrink their bills even more. TNB calls this push part of the country's green energy mission.
Poor families registered with the government's e-Kasih program receive up to RM40 monthly help with their electricity costs. Student families from low-income backgrounds might catch this break as well. TNB promises to guard people's wallets during these energy system changes.
