Connected Load Charge (CLC)Print this page 

Connected Load Charge is the penalty charge made to TNB when there is a significant load burden reduction from the original burden declared by a customer. The charge was introduced to avoid cases of underutilised load burden where customers initially requested for high maximum demand.

Affected customers

CLC is subjected to commercial and industrial customers from:

  • Category 1: Supply voltage of 132 kV and above
  • Category 2: Supply voltage between 6.6 kV to 132 kV

Duration of CLC

CLC will be imposed for a period of five (5) years commencing from the date of supply connection (upon signing of supply contracts), excluding the first year of supply.
