Effective 1 January 2023, the electricity tariff surcharge in Malaysia jumped from 3 sen per kWh to 27.7 sen per kWh — a change described by The Star (20 Dec 2022) as having a “profound impact on every industry.”

For factories, facilities, and businesses, this steep surcharge increase means significantly higher operating costs, placing added pressure on already tight margins. Without proper monitoring and energy optimisation, the hike could silently erode profits month after month.
