Do you know what contributes to your monthly electricity bill?
For those in Semenanjung Malaysia, TNB’s tariff is approximately 30 sen to 45 sen per kilowatt-hour (kWh), depending on your usage.
The more you use, the more expensive the rates!
Below is a short table of common electrical appliances, and a rough estimate on how much they cost to run for every hour.
(The cost may seem low, but remember, even using 3 sen/hour means that you will be paying about RM 20 a month if you leave it on for 24 hours a day!)
| Appliance | Estimated cost (sen/hour) |
| Fluorescent lights | 1 sen |
| Wireless Router | 1 sen |
| ASTRO decoder + dish | 2 sen |
| Table Fan | 2 sen |
| Incandescent lights | 3 sen |
| Ceiling Fan | 3 sen |
| Computer (laptop) | 5 sen |
| CRT ( ‘normal ’) TV (21 inch) | 3 sen |
| LCD TV (32 inch) | 7 sen |
| Computer (desktop) | 9 sen |

| Washing Machine | 15 sen |
