# RP4 electricity tariffs start with a higher base rate and monthly fuel adjustment

Date: 2025

## The fact

On 1 July 2025 Peninsular RP4 tariffs began: average base 45.40 sen/kWh, up from RP3’s 39.95 sen, with itemised bills and monthly Automatic Fuel Adjustment replacing six-monthly ICPT. Energy Commission said low-use households would see efficiency incentives; high-use customers would not. He did not sit as TNB.

## Context

Cabinet approved. ST gazetted under the Electricity Supply Act. Neighbouring SST expansion is the same day. A base-rate rise is still a dated household-energy instrument even where EEI cushions low users.

SST expansion 1 July 2025 is a neighbour tax file.

The Prime Minister of Malaysia advises the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, chairs Cabinet, and is appointed under Articles 40 and 43 of the Federal Constitution. He does not write Bank Negara Malaysia policy rates, does not sit as every state menteri besar, and does not author a United States or China statute. A 1999–2018 prosecution or pardon cluster is not a 2023 subsidy. Allegation is not a completed personal conviction unless a court so held. A 2027 general election is not this page’s completed Fact. As of 27 August 2026 he remains prime minister.

## Evidence and sources

Energy Commission Malaysia carries the official instrument or communique. The Malaysian Reserve records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [household purchasing power](/drivers/household-purchasing-power): a completed base-tariff rise with monthly fuel pass-through is a dated energy-price instrument.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1 July 2025 RP4 start at 45.40 sen/kWh base, independently reported.

Not established: that every domestic bill uniquely rose 13.6 percent that day — EEI was named for ≤1,000 kWh — or a unique later CPI coefficient.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

ST gazetted. TNB bills. He headed the government that owned energy-subsidy weather.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies RP4 electricity tariffs start with a higher base rate and monthly fuel adjustment, not a later speech about RP4 electricity tariffs start with a higher base rate and monthly fuel adjustment.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. RP4 electricity tariffs start with a higher base rate and monthly fuel adjustment on 2025-07-01 is not a licence to treat every later Energy Commission Malaysia communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average RP4 electricity tariffs start with a higher base rate and monthly fuel adjustment into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Cabinet approved. ST gazetted. TNB bills. He headed the government that owned energy-subsidy weather. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
