Why M’sians pay higher electricity rates

Pakatan Rakyat MPs, irked by minister's response,
lay the blame squarely on the government's
direct tenders to IPPs.
KUALA LUMPUR: Closed tenders involving Independent Power Producers (IPPs) ultimately lead to higher electricity prices, said Pakatan Rakyat MPs.

PJ Utara MP (DAP) Tony Pua said that Malaysians paid more for their electricity than the Thais despite local IPPs getting more natural gas subsidies.

“Despite higher subsidies in Malaysia, our electricity prices are higher. They are higher than in Thailand, despite local IPPs enjoying much higher subsidies than in Thailand,” he told reporters in Parliament lobby.

Renegotiation of power purchasing agreements (PPAs) must be completed by Nov 30 this year or the country will continue to bleed money into independent power producers (IPP), the Association of Water and Energy Research Malaysia (AWER) said today.

Any delay in renegotiations between the government and IPPs would give the IPPs leverage to bulldoze exorbitant project bids to build new power plants on the excuse of lack of time, the NGO said.
