RE Fund (KWTBB) is a fund collected by the Government through consumer’s electricity consumption. The Fund will be used to promote growth of electricity generation from renewable energy resources.

No. RE fund (KWTBB) is not a form of taxation to the customers.

As stipulated in the RE Act 2011, the RE fund (KWTBB) is collected through a surcharge of consumers’ electricity consumption at the rate of 1.6%.

Surcharge of RE Fund (KWTBB) applies to all customers except for domestic customers with electricity consumption of 300kWh and below per month.

RE Fund (KWTBB) surcharge is calculated as follows:

RE Fund (KWTBB) Surcharge = 1.6% × [(kWh+kW) – Discounts] (for consumption of 300 kwh and above)

Example:
RE Fund (KWTBB) Surcharge = RM100 (Current Bill) X 1.6% = RM1.60

The RE Fund (KWTBB) collected from the customer’s electricity bill is channeled to the Government (SEDA is a body formed by the government under the RE act 2011 to manage and administer the FiT system). For more information, you can visit this website: seda.gov.my

In the effort to diversify the nation's energy resources, electricity can be generated from renewable energy resources. It is our duty to help sustaining the reserve of natural resources for our future generations to be able to enjoy the same benefits that we have now. Therefore, it is vital to foster awareness to consumers that the supply of natural resources like coal, gas and oil is depleting and will run out if it is not used prudently. The RE Fund (KWTBB) was introduced to help sustaining the natural resources in term of fossil fuels for our future generation.

In RE Fund (KWTBB) implementation, TNB act as the collecting agent of the fund for the Government.
