The government will ensure that any electricity tariff increase in the second half of 2025 will not burden businesses, while 85% of households will continue receiving subsidies, said Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He emphasised that low-income households would remain unaffected by the upcoming tariff review, reaffirming the government's commitment to easing cost pressures on the public.
Malaysia's basic electricity tariff is set under the Incentive-Based Regulation framework, reviewed every three years by the Energy Commission. Additionally, the Imbalance Cost Pass-Through mechanism, which adjusts rates based on fuel costs, is reviewed every six months.
The next electricity tariff review is scheduled for July 2025.
