TNB

 Below is the response I got for my complaints to the Ministry of energy Malaysia. Ok, its in the akta so resolved. I mean what kind of crap is this. Its ok to bill users late by 5 days so I can hike my bill to reach the maximum charge per KWh possible because it was agreed upon. This is what I would call daylight ROBBERY and its legal.

Bil elektrik lebih 30 hari. Lambat buat bacaan meter. Mengikut akta bekalan pihak TNB boleh mengebilkan pengguna seawal 26 hari sehingga 35 hari. Jawapan melalui surat akan dimajukan kepada pengguna/KeTTHA. 

Lets give an example:

Current increased tariff for house owner

Normal 30 days usage is 10kWh per day so total 300Kwh. Yahoo just within the old rate so no increases. 

Now the "ROBBER" comes and write in 35 days (eh its ok because akta say so). Total now is 350 kWh. Ah ha now sudah kena new increased tariff, YIPEE for the "ROBBER". Total increase est 7 cents multiply by the extra 50kWh which comes to about RM3.50. 

Ok, lets say it happens to 30% of the people using about the same amount (I haven't even listed the more common high users yet), assume about a low 1 million household. This would increase revenue, which is a straight profit by  RM3.5 million.

Ok, now lets use the more common usage of 400kWh per month. Again 5 days late, so extra now would be much more considering they will then reach the next tier of charges of 40.2 sen. If not for this delay the extra would have fallen under the lowest rate of 21.8sen, thus the extra per kWh becomes 18.4sen multiplied by 5days with average usage of 13.3kWh. So the person ends up paying an extra RM12.26. Lets assume 60% of the previous 1 million household uses this amount. Well now the total extra profits becomes RM7.36million plus the remaining 40% of RM1.4million, giving a total of approx RM8.8 million per month. What about a year, that's a whopping extra of more than RM100million.

Adoi SHIOK nya.
