How This Affects Your Business

Since the discount applies to off-peak electricty usage, you should reschedule your operations to increase production or extend your operating hours to anytime between 10.00 p.m. and 8.00 a.m.  With the 20% discount applied to electricity usage during those hours, you stand to enjoy significant savings in your monthly electricity bill.

You are eligible to enroll in the OPTR scheme if:

  • You are an existing TNB customer under the C1, E1, or E1s tariff.

  • Your latest Load Factor is higher than the average Load Factor over six (6) months prior to your application.

  • You do not have an outstanding amount not more than the total deposit/bank guarantee paid.  Otherwise this outstanding amount must be settled before applying.

Additional Requirements

  • To enjoy the OPTR scheme, your electromechanical meter must be replaced with an electronic meter.  You will be charged a fee for this meter replacement. 
  • If you are already using electronic meter, you will only need to pay the meter reprogramming charge.
  • You will also need to sign a supplementary supply contract.

The OPTR scheme will be activated in the following consumption period (meter reading month), as soon as all requirements are met and all metering-related works are completed.
