Malaysia 10 April 2026 (The Capital Post) – Consumers across the country are being advised to consider switching to a time-of-use electricity pricing scheme as part of efforts to reduce monthly power bills and encourage more efficient energy consumption.

Energy authorities have highlighted that the scheme allows users to benefit from lower electricity rates during off-peak hours, while higher charges apply during peak demand periods. The initiative is aimed at helping households and businesses better manage their usage patterns and overall energy expenses.

Officials said wider adoption of the system could also contribute to easing pressure on the national power grid by encouraging consumers to shift heavy electricity usage to non-peak periods. This, in turn, is expected to support long-term sustainability and improve demand management within the energy sector.
