The rates, afa changes and all the surcharge once u hit certain total kwh makes it not practical to compare total bill in RM month to month..
Best comparison is kwh monthly..  It seems AFA only kicks in if u hit 600 kwh This post has been edited by james2306: Jul 9 2026, 10:05 AM |

There are severe heatwave around april to june, if you use aircon, it will affect the usage due to working harder.
If your usage is 600kwh and above, you will affected by AFA charge and retail charge. AFA rates July 2025: 0.00 sen/kWh August 2025: -1.45 sen/kWh September 2025: -1.10 sen/kWh October 2025: -6.50 sen/kWh November 2025: -8.91 sen/kWh December 2025: -6.42 sen/kWh January 2026: -4.99 sen/kWh February 2026: -2.77 sen/kWh March 2026: -2.15 sen/kWh April 2026: -0.47 sen/kWh May 2026: +1.38 sen/kWh June 2026: +2.59 sen/kWh July 2026: +3.59 sen/kWh |

Even though last month hot weather and my sister come my house charge her EV due to her condo charger congestion,
my last month usage still below 600kwh so the AFA thing not affecting me. Those 50kwh DIY solar battery does helps a lot. This post has been edited by yushin: Jul 9 2026, 10:27 AM |

QUOTE(ListenToTheWind @ Jul 9 2026, 09:43 AM) Feb: 516kwh Tnb looks at import. To determine AFA charges.Mar: 576kwh Apr: 640kwh May: 644kwh Jun: 698kwh Jul: TBA Same pax, same appliances, same daily routine, no new electrical appliances. Last year all covered, this year kwh increasing consistently. My feeling telling me TNB is manipulating with the reading Baru pasang 1 year, long time to go. Not Net import. Therefore for solar user who make use of the export and than import it yet again at non sun production time will get higher bills. |

QUOTE(yashin @ Jul 9 2026, 08:53 AM) Anyone else got a larger electricity bill this month? Mine up by 50% QUOTE Electricity bills have effectively increased in July 2026 due to the Energy Commission (ST) setting the Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA) surcharge at +3.59 sen/kWh. This is an increase from the +2.59 sen/kWh surcharge applied in June.The base electricity tariff itself has remained unchanged, and the government has maintained subsidies to protect approximately 85% of domestic consumers. Only consumers whose monthly electricity usage exceeds 600kWh (or bills over RM216) are subject to this AFA surcharge and the 8% Service Tax. https://shorturl.at/k9otg This post has been edited by Imbi Plaza Lot 1.28: Jul 9 2026, 11:03 AM |
