TNB Tariff Hike 2025: Save More with Solar Before It Hits in July

Starting July 2025, electricity rates in Malaysia are going up—again. If you’re a homeowner or SME, this TNB electricity tariff hike could hit your wallet harder than expected. TNB’s base tariff is increasing from 39.95 sen/kWh to 45.62 sen/kWh, a jump that could mean an additional RM1,000 per year for many Malaysians.

What’s Changing with Malaysia’s Electricity Tariff?

This isn’t speculation—it’s already confirmed. From July 2025:

• The tariff rate could increase by over 14%
• A household with a RM600 monthly bill could soon pay RM690
• That’s RM90 more per month, or RM1,080 a year
• With inflation and cost of living pressures already rising, this is not welcome news.

Why Is TNB Increasing the Tariff?

Malaysia’s electricity rates are adjusted based on fuel prices, infrastructure costs, and subsidy realignments. The government aims to reduce its subsidy burden and shift towards market-based pricing.

While this helps long-term sustainability, the short-term impact is clear: Malaysians will face higher electricity bills, with little warning or control.

How to Reduce Your TNB Bill: Solar May Be the Answer

The best way to protect yourself from electricity tariff hikes? Generate your own power. Thousands of Malaysian homeowners and SMEs are already switching to solar energy to take control of their electricity usage and cut their TNB bills by up to 75%.

Here’s What You Gain by Going Solar:

• ✅ Long-term energy savings, up to 90% slash on your electricity
• ✅ Protection against future TNB price hikes
• ✅ Tax incentives (for businesses)
• ✅ Higher property value
• ✅ Cleaner energy for the environment

Is It Worth Going Solar Now?

Yes, especially before July 2025. Installation takes time (typically 4–6 weeks after payment), so if you want to lock in savings and avoid paying the higher tariff, you need to start your solar journey soon.

The earlier you act, the more you can save before the full price hike kicks in.

In response to the growing demand for solar, the government and SEDA recently announced an additional 100MW quota under the NEM Rakyat scheme for residential solar and NEM Nova still has approximately 518MW for business to utilize and install solar. 

But here’s the catch:

• The NEM scheme runs until 30 June 2025
• However, the quota could finish earlier due to high demand.

Don’t wait for the July 2025 TNB tariff hike to drain your wallet or until the NEM quota finishes. Let solar work for you while there’s still time to act.
