Note: If billing period is above 35 days , proration factor applies

Few activities could be carried out by customers that assist in reducing MD charges such as:

A consumer who applies for temporary supply shall be charged at the tariff rate appropriate to their category plus 33% surcharge on the total monthly bill. This is mostly applicable for construction site that requires temporary supply for construction site/site office.

• Connected Load Charge is a mitigating tool to discourage consumers from over declaring their load requirement. Over declaration will lead to over plant up and waste of resources and increase in reserve margin. Without CLC, other consumers will have to also pay for the unnecessary higher costs of electricity due to wastage and this is unfair to those who do properly declare.
• Other utilities who do not have CLC penalty, recover their demand component or fix cost via imposing contract capacity charge through their tariff rate based on consumer declaration.
• Government has recently approved enhanced terms for Connected Load Charge (CLC). In line with this, TNB will be implementing the enhanced terms starting 15th January 2021.

Consumer Category

• New Consumer:
  All new medium voltage and high voltage consumers (consumers with supply voltage at 1kV and above) are subjected to CLC for a period of 6 years from the date the supply is connected.


• Upgrading Consumer:
  Any supply and/or load and/or voltage upgrade, the consumer will be levied new CLC for a period of 5 years from the date the additional supply is connected.


• Change of Tenancy (COT) Consumer:
  Any medium voltage and high voltage consumers who apply for open account (Change of Tenancy) to the existing premise will be subjected to CLC based on scenarios.

CLC Calculation

1. New consumer
   • Consumer is subjected to CLC for a period of 6 years from the date the supply is connected.
   • Consumer who takes supply after 15 January 2021 has to declare the Maximum Demand (MD) in phases (for CLC calculation purposes) for year one (1) until year four (4) upon supply application. Total MD declared will be used to calculate CLC for year five (5) and six (6). Kindly complete this form CLC Form 1 for MD declaration in phases for CLC calculation purposes (whenever applicable) and attach it during the Move In process.
   • CLC is applicable when the actual MD recorded on any month is less than 85% of the MD declared in phases during year 1 until year 4 and less than 75% of the total MD declared for year 5 and year 6.
   • The method in determining Reference Maximum Demand* for calculating CLC are as follows:



Year	Reference Maximum Demand*
1	85% x [Declared MD Year 1 or Highest Recorded MD, whichever is higher]
2	85% x [Declared MD Year 2 or Highest Recorded MD, whichever is higher]
3	85% x [Declared MD Year 3 or Highest Recorded MD, whichever is higher]
4	85% x [Declared MD Year 4 or Highest Recorded MD, whichever is higher]
5	75% x [Total Declared MD or Highest Recorded MD, whichever is higher]
6	75% x [Total Declared MD or Highest Recorded MD, whichever is higher]

Note:

1. CLC is applicable when MD recorded < Reference MD
2. If MD recorded is higher than MD declared (Highest Recorded MD, RMD), the RMD will replace the MD declared for the year. Reference MD will be calculated using the new MD declared


2. Upgrading consumer
   • Consumer is subjected to the new CLC for a period of 5 years from the date the additional supply is connected.
   • Consumer has to declare the MD in phases for year 1 until year 3 (for CLC calculation purposes) once during supply application. Total MD declared will be used to calculate CLC for year 4 and year 5. Kindly complete this form CLC Form 1 for MD declaration in phases for CLC calculation purposes (whenever applicable) and attach it during the Move In process.
   • CLC is applicable when the actual MD recorded on any month is less than 85% of the MD declared in phases during year 1 until year 3 and less than 75% of the total MD declared for year 4 and year 5.
   • The method in determining Reference Maximum Demand* for calculating CLC are as follows:
   
   

   Year	Reference Maximum Demand
   1	85% x [Declared MD Year 1 or Highest Recorded MD, whichever is higher]
   2	85% x [Declared MD Year 2 or Highest Recorded MD, whichever is higher]
   3	85% x [Declared MD Year 3 or Highest Recorded MD, whichever is higher]
   4	75% x [Total Declared MD or Highest Recorded MD, whichever is higher]
   5	75% x [Total Declared MD or Highest Recorded MD, whichever is higher]

   Note:

   1. CLC is applicable when MD recorded < Reference MD
   2. If MD recorded is higher than MD declared (Highest Recorded MD, RMD), the RMD will replace the MD declared for the year. Reference MD will be calculated using the new MD declared
   
   
3. COT consumer

   There are some scenarios in determining the period of CLC.

   • Should the previous consumer has ended the CLC period:
     1. If the new MD declared by a new consumer is equal or lower than previous MD, no CLC will be imposed to the new consumer;
     2. If the new MD declared by a new consumer is higher than previous MD, the consumer will be subjected to the new CLC for a period of 6 years from the date of COT (refer to New Consumer terms)
   
   
   • Should the previous consumer still subject to CLC:
     1. If the new MD declared by a new consumer is equal to previous MD, consumer may choose one of the following options:
        • Continue existing CLC table; or
        • Re-declare the MD once by phases for the remaining years (except for the remaining 2 years) during supply application. Subject to eligibility and based on the new CLC policy.
     2. If the new MD declared by a new consumer is lower (within same voltage level) or greater than previous MD, the consumer will be subjected to the new CLC for a period of 6 years from the date of COT (refer to New Consumer terms)
     
     

     Kindly complete this CLC Form 1 for MD declaration in phases for CLC calculation purposes (whenever applicable) and attach it during supply application.



4. Existing consumer
   • Existing consumers who take supply before 15 January 2021 and still within CLC period are allowed to re-declare MD by phases once in year 1-4 (applicable for consumers who are subjected to CLC for 6 years) or Year 1-3 (applicable for consumer who are subjected to CLC for 5 years) based on the new CLC policy.
   • New MD declared will be effective from the next billing cycle and no adjustment will be made to the previous CLC penalties.
   • Existing consumers who are still within the CLC period requesting to redeclare MD in Year 5-6 (applicable to consumer who are subjected to CLC for 6 years) or Year 4-5 (applicable to consumers who are subjected to CLC for 5 years) are subjected to additional charge as per existing policy.
   • To proceed with the application, kindly download and submit a completed CLC Form 2 to [email protected]

Charges

• New Consumer:
  1. Total MD declared for the development: 10,000 kW MD declared in phase for CLC calculation:

     Year 1 : 9,000 kW

     Year 2 : 11,000 kW

     Year 3 : 13,000 kW

  
  

  Year	MAXIMUM DEMAND DECLARED FOR CLC	REFERENCE MAXIMUM DEMAND (RMD)	ACTUAL MAXIMUM DEMAND(AMD)**	CLC PENALTY(RM)
  1	9,000kW	85% x 9,000kW = 7,650kW	8,500kW	No penalty. AMD > RMD
  2	11,000kW	85% x 11,000kW = 9,350kW	9,500kW	No penalty. AMD > RMD
  3	13,000kW	85% x 13,000kW = 11,050kW	10,700kW	RM8.50 x (11,050kW - 10,700kW) = RM2,975
  4	15,000kW	75% x 15,000kW = 11,250kW	11,200kW	RM8.50 x (11,250kW - 11,200kW) = RM425
  5	15,000kW	75% x 15,000kW = 11,250kW	12,000kW	No penalty. AMD > RMD

  **Assumption: Actual Maximum Demand (MD) recorded in 1 month within a CLC year

  
  

  Few activities could be carried out by customers that assist in reducing MD charges such as:

  • Practicing demand side management such as peak shift i.e. shifting their peak operation/consumption to off peak period as MD charges is not applicable during off-peak period for customers with peak/off-peak tariff
  • Opting for any promotional scheme offered by TNB relating to MD such as Sunday Tariff Rider Scheme (STR) and Enhanced Time of Use Tariff (ETOU)
  • Starts motor/equipment in stages or during off-peak period
