Tenaga Nasional announces a reduced AFA rebate of 0.47 sen/kWh for April, with a forecast for the next three months also provided.

KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) has announced the Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA) rate for April.

Consumers will receive a slightly reduced rebate of 0.47 sen per kilowatt hour (kWh).

In a post on X, TNB said the AFA does not apply to domestic customers with electricity usage of 600 kWh and below.

This corresponds to a bill of approximately RM215.98.

On its website, TNB said the AFA will be reflected monthly in electricity bills if there is any fluctuation in market fuel prices and foreign exchange rates.

The utility firm also revealed the three-month AFA rate forecast for May, June and July.

The forecast rates are 39 sen/kWh for May, 91 sen/kWh for June and 8.0 sen/kWh for July.

“The declaration of the AFA rate (in sen/kWh) shall be based on confirmation by the Energy Commission (ST) or as officially communicated through a ministerial decision,” it said.

The AFA is a mechanism that adjusts based on the market cost of fuel and foreign exchange rates.

It replaced the previous Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT), which was used to calculate the electricity bill.
