The Energy Commission of Malaysia informed that a new scheme, the Enhanced Time of Use (ETOU)
Electricity Tariff Scheme will be introduced as an option of the existing Off-Peak tariff scheme.
Under the existing Off-Peak Tariff (C2 and E2, E3), there are two time zones: Peak and Off-Peak
Energy Rates. There are also Demand Charges during peak hours. For ETOU, there will be three time
zones: Peak, Mid-Peak and Off-Peak Energy Rates. Demand charges will be imposed on Peak and
Mid-Peak hours.
The breakdown of the Off-Peak and Peak hours of the existing scheme are as follows:
Off-Peak Hours
10pm 8am
Peak-Hours
8am 10pm
The breakdown of the Off-Peak, Mid-Peak and Peak hours of the ETOU scheme are as follows:
Off-Peak
10pm - 8am
Mid-Peak
8am -11am
Peak
11am - 12pm
Mid-Peak
12pm - 2pm
Peak
2pm - 5pm
Mid-Peak
5pm 10pm
The ETOU offers Off-Peak rates throughout weekends (24 hours a day) and five fixed Public Holidays.
The ETOU is an optional scheme. It will be effective from 1 January 2016 for Commercial Customers
(Tariff C1 and C2) and Industrial Customers (Tariff E1, E1s, E2, E2s, E3 and E3s). TNB users may
opt for this scheme by entering into a contract for at least six months with TNB.
Three different tariff rates will be applicable during the Peak, Off-Peak and Mid-Peak periods and two
different demand charge will be applicable for Peak and Mid-Peak, all during weekdays. For all
weekends and the five gazetted public holidays, only Off-Peak rate is applicable.
TNBs proposed ETOU rates are summarised as follows:
Tariff Category
Commercial C1
Commercial C2
Industrial D
Industrial E1
Industrial E2
Industrial E3
Off-Peak
28.10
22.40
24.90
22.50
21.90
20.20
Members are advised to analyse your energy consumption pattern in order to understand whether the
new ETOU will provide more benefits compared to your existing Off-peak Scheme. If the ETOU is not
beneficial, you may opt to maintain your existing scheme.
For Tariff D users, ETOU will be effective from 1 January 2017. This is because new meters would
need to be installed, and TNB would need to modify its billing system. Since the existing Tariff D users
are not entitled for any Off-Peak rate, the ETOU is expected to offer substantial savings.
