Government Yet To Decide On Electricity Tariff Review

Thursday, July 11, 2013

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Bernama) -- The government is yet to decide on the electricity tariff review.


Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water, Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Johnity Ongkili, said there is a need to look at the cost of fuel, gas and other inputs, which have been increasing.

"There is also a need to look at how Tenaga Nasional and Petronas can absorb the increase," he told a media briefing here today.

He said there should be a mechanism for fuel price increases, not only when one party has to bear the cost, be it the government, utility companies or consumers.

On the water issue in Selangor, Ongkili said what was available from the state is insufficient for its own use, as well as that of the Federal Territory and Putrajaya.

Ongkili said there is a need to work together with the Selangor state government to resolve the issue.
