Anwar calls urgent meeting tomorrow to address higher electricity bills
The government will review mitigation steps as about 80% of domestic users remain protected from higher rates, Anwar said.
- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced a special meeting on Thursday, September 17, to examine immediate measures reducing the impact of increased electricity bills on affected households.
- Haze conditions and hotter weather recently drove electricity consumption above the 600 kWh threshold, subjecting some households to the Automatic Fuel Cost Adjustment mechanism.
- Anwar, also the Finance Minister, noted that about 80% of domestic consumers using no more than 600 kWh per month remain protected from rate increases resulting from higher fuel costs this year.
- The meeting will include the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry, the Energy Commission, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, and the Finance Ministry to review immediate mitigation measures.
- Upon his return from India and the Maldives, Anwar emphasized that the MADANI government will maintain targeted subsidies fairly, with the people's interests and well-being remaining the priority.
