Anwar Calls Urgent Meeting Tomorrow to Address Higher Electricity Bills

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced a special meeting tomorrow with PETRA, the Energy Commission, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, and the Ministry of Finance to discuss measures mitigating the impact of increased electricity bills on households.
About 80% of households consuming up to 600 kWh per month remain protected from the recent rate increase tied to rising fuel costs.
The haze and hotter weather have caused higher electricity consumption, resulting in some households exceeding the 600 kWh threshold and incurring charges under the Automatic Fuel Adjustment mechanism.
The government is committed to implementing targeted subsidies fairly to protect people's interests amid the rise in electricity costs and adverse weather conditions.
