TNB, Petronas, Government To Bear Equally Fuel Cost Increase
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 1 (Bernama) -- Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) has received a letter from the government that provides a fuel cost-sharing mechanism to address the current increased cost borne by the company due to the gas shortage.
In a filing to Bursa Malaysia Thursday, TNB said it, Petroliam Nasional Bhd and the government would each equally share the differential cost it incurred due to dispatching on alternative fuels and also imports, from Jan 1, 2010 until Oct 31, 2011 of approximately RM3.07 billion.
Presently, TNB is facing a higher operational cost due to the extra cost of generation arising from running the power plants on expensive alternate fuels and power import from Singapore and Thailand.
TNB said it would be liaising as soon as possible with the relevant parties to implement this mechanism in view of the urgency of the matter and the critical financial situation it faced.
TNB should start generating their own energy instead of relying on IPP's who could charge higher price than necessary.
BalasPadamHope that the government and the TNB will work harder to reduce the cost of electricity supply to the people.
BalasPadamsaya harap kerajaan persekutuan dan petronas bersetuju dengan mekanisme perkongsian menampung kos tambah bahan api alternatif tersebut memandangkan TNB telah mengalami kerugian selama dua suku berturut2 dan bakal berdepan dengan krisis kewangan kerana terpaksa menggunakan bahan api yang lebih mahal seperti minyak dan distillates untuk menjana tenaga elektrik.
BalasPadamTNB kena berusaha untuk mengurangkan kos.
BalasPadampeningkatan kos akan turut membebankan rakyat.
BalasPadamharap semua pihak akan sentiasa berusaha untuk menangani masalah kenaikan kos.
BalasPadamsemoga pekara ini akan dapat diuruskan dengan sebaiknya.
BalasPadamsemoga kerjasama dapat diwujudkan bagi menangani masalah kenaikan semasa kos bahan api. jika tidak pasti rakyat pun akan merasai kesannya juga.
BalasPadamTNB perlu cari alternatif untuk kurangkan kerugian mereka. Kalau semua pun mahu naik, rakyat akan merasa beban yang ketara.
BalasPadamUntil when TNB has to rely on IPP?
BalasPadamCari alternatif lain bagi mengurangkan masalah SESB..
