This two-part articles looks into the electricity tariff hike and other consumer issues. This is part one of a two-part article.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 (Bernama) — Those whose electricity usage is less than 300 kWh per month, or less than RM77, surely felt blessed when a new electricity tariff was announced on June 1.

The electricity hike impacted only those domestic users whose use was between 301 kWh to 1000 kWh a month.

Nevertheless, their good fortune may not last forever. As explained by S. Piarapakaran, President of the Association of Water and Energy Research Malaysia (AWER), fuel remains the highest cost for the electricity industry and it continues to rise.
