The electric utility company had spent RM17 billion opex from the 18.5 billion approved, and RM17 billion capex from the 17.5 billion granted.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was reported the ICPT rebate will not be available for domestic consumers with a monthly consumption below 300kWh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means they will pay the same rate for their electricity usage for the period of January 1 to June 30, 2018,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Azhar also revealed to ensure electricity tariff rates remain the same until 2020, they would sustain the cost of electricity generation elements, including piped gas and coal, through money provided by the Electricity Industry Fund.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesundaily.my\/news\/2018\/01\/16\/tnb-bear-rm92937m-electricity-rebates-first-six-months-2018\"
