That is why you are paid for what is sold la.
ICPT = clawback/rebate mechanism to offset increased/reduced cost of generation
ICPT is not done one stroke apply to all. It is adjusted by gov to implement targeted subsidy. For example if TNB cost of generation went up on average RM0.3/kWh:
- an equality approach is by putting ICPT surcharge of RM0.3/kWh to ALL consumers (domestic, commercial, industrial).
- an equitable approach can be by putting ICPT surcharge of RM0.4/kWh to top 50% highest consumers using > xxxx kWh, and ICPT surcharge of RM0.2/kWh to lower 50% spending consumers
Now in our case, the government chose the 2nd option, but not that method la. Its more fine tuned
- commercial and industrial had RM0.20/kWh surcharge from jan-jun but all domestic users dont get ICPT surcharge but a rebate of RM0.02/kWh
- then in july onwards, ICPT further fine tuned now commercial and industrial reduced to RM0.17/kWh, and domestic users split to 2 categories, those below 1500kWh will still get rebate of RM0.02/kWh while high users using more than 1500kWh will get surcharge of RM0.10
Gov has been saying they are trying to fine tune the ICPT framework to reflect a targeted subsidy approach.
The above is totally separated from solar electricity generation, whether u domestic <1500kwh or domestic >1500kwh or you commercial or industrial. You generate u sell TNB buys.
Some people just dont realize yet there are two different mechanisms involved here which translated into complex energy generation, distribution and transmission systems.
