Can opt out after applying?
How to apply?
Need additional deposit?

If don’t use much energy during the day and average monthly consumption is <500kwh, is it worth applying?

Let's discuss and share here

Malam less industrial usage so technically should be cheaper

Serious /k btw

If at home but no use aircond? I believe the consumption from lights and fans should be negligible

Washing machine - not using everyday, twice a week only. And I believe with inverter it shouldn't consume too much

Dryer - Combo with WM. Used once a month for drying bedsheets only

Water heater - Yes but I personally dont use it unless cold weather

Iron - steam iron, not using everyday also

Oven - seldom use also

So you get the lower off peak hour rate

Follow the standard rate after July revision

Based on the numbers alone, seems like you will benefit a lot from ToU. Can share what's your usage during peak hours like? Nobody at home during those hours?

Thanks. I'm WFH as well and was thinking maybe ToU is not for me.... but looking at your usage it seems we are quite similar. I seldom use aircond during afternoon as well unless really cannot tahan like heatwave few months back

I dont even use water heater when I bath only my gf does in the morning

I think ToU will benefit those staying in high rise the most. Landed with solar probably dont need ToU in the first place

What happen when you click on View Energy Usage?

If dont have maybe because you dont have smart meter?

if your low usage is mostly during off-peak hours, why not

whatever TnB or the government do nowadays confirm you have people complaining on both sides....

if auto switch to ToU, will have a group of people complaining why not give the option to opt out, what if bill increased due to more usage during peak hours etc

really cannot satisfy everyone nowadays. IMO giving the option to switch is still the safest choice, up to you to decide whether to switch

but I agree the whole process should have been free

But how do you decide if someone is suitable for ToU or not? Everyone usage differs, someone might be using more power during peak period, obviously for someone like this ToU is unsuitable. Then you have those who rent our their properties where its hard to control tenant usage, and then those using solar.

Maybe there's way to calculate from our bills, but we are not experts so we dont know how complicated it is to implement such a function and how much does it costs. And as always, the costs will be reflected onto the consumers in the end anyway

The fair method would be to convert everyone to ToU so everyone follow the same peak and off peak rate. But again doing this someone who use more during peak period will complain also

i think just from understanding your own usage you will know whether its suitable already, no need to calculate actually unless you want to know the numbers of how many % savings

High powered home appliances -
Aircond (especially non inverter)
Oven
Microwave
Water heater
Electric stove
Dryer
Washing machine

if you use any of these heavily every weekday during peak period (2pm - 10pm) obviously ToU is not for you

those staying own house then easy to know and adjust usage if needed..... but those doing rental property more complicated

lights and fans don't really consume much. If got PC then depending what kind of PC it is and what you're doing (simple browsing or high end gaming, rendering etc)

I'm fully aware of how to take full advantage of ToU (refer my latest reply above)

My reply you quoted is for kopiride's suggestion that TnB should automatically decide ToU for users or apply the cheapest rate

U mean 8am to 4pm?

Peak is 2pm to 10pm though

And the RM10 stamp duty is only on your first bill after switching iinm

Your kwh usage same?

I actually pay slightly less now even without ToU

June 372kwh = RM108.55



Aug 389kwh = RM108.40



Extra 17kwh but same price almost

Basically if your entire month's usage (in kwh) consists of 63% usage during the peak hours (2pm - 10pm) on weekdays

If you use a lot of high energy consumption appliances eg: water heater, aircond, oven, dryer etc during these hours during weekdays, then perhaps ToU won't benefit. For most people out there especially if you're not WFH type, ToU will definitely reduce your bills, just see how much is the reduction

It's not about monthly usage but your usage during peak hours
