Can lar...at least for now. The main reason I sign in so fast for ToU is because TnB ensure this ToU it can revert back to Standard Rate at any time.
Will lose RM10 stamping fee and probably 1 month of value difference.
If I did not do ToU, I would not know my actual Peak and Off Peak actual import usage. The ToU subscription showed me the actual pattern of my usage. Even if I switch back to standard, the point of view has done its job and gave me a peak of my usage pattern if based on ToU rather than always wondering if I do ToU, what will the total be like vs Standard Rate.
I already can see that without solar panel, due to my family members aka parent using air-cond during daytime, my peak usage is almost same with my off peak usage.
The solar direct usage absorb almost all the daytime usage with remaining half of my peak period usage coming from 6pm+ to 10pm, where we have dinner, mom switch on air-cond again.
With solar panel absorbing half of the peak usage, I can achieve 30:70 peak and off peak usage ratio that is beneficial when calculating using ToU.
So if import > export and peak usage > off peak usage, ToU for NEM is worthwhile over long term if TNB does not do any UTurn on current calculation.
What bee88 fear is just that, TnB doing uTurn down the line which is very very possible. Coz I read TnB faq about peak export can only be used for peak import and cannot be use for off peak import. Now they do this favourable to us 100% peak import deduction first regardless of when it was exported...
So TnB can sort of uTurn the current calculation at any time and revert to the original screwed FaQ one.
Anyway for now, I know for sure ToU does benefit me long term but be prepare to lose some money first aka RM10 stamping fee and the bloody full SST charges of my over 600 units of usage coz they cut off at 23 days for me and bill me full SST charges on ALL the units imported. The already earned on your first bill before switching to ToU...hehe.
Yes. I am very sus with what their are doing ever since I uncovered that they could have made us pay for the network charge and capacity charge.
But tou or not, it’s just difference by a bit. The rule of thumb is if your import - export is 1000kwh, the tou saving is rm26 vs non tou. And if u manage to reduce to 500kwh difference , then the saving is only rm13. Since my case the difference is only 100kwh units, the saving if I switch to tou is only less than rm5.
