    TNB sets November 2026 AFA surcharge at +3.60 sen/kWh

    TNB's Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA) surcharge for November 2026 is set at +3.60 sen per kWh, reported by Paul Tan on 2 November 2026.

    The AFA line sits on top of your base electricity tariff. It is the pass-through for fuel costs TNB incurs to generate power, and it changes each month.

    The surcharge multiplies directly against your kWh usage. A higher-usage household feels it more than a low-usage one.

    e.g. A 300 kWh household pays 300 × 3.60 sen = RM10.80 extra that month. e.g. A 500 kWh household pays 500 × 3.60 sen = RM18.00 extra.

  3. Worth knowing3/3

    Check the AFA line on your next TNB bill

    The AFA appears as a separate line item on your TNB bill, below the base tariff charges. If the surcharge surprises you, compare the kWh figure and the sen/kWh rate against your previous month's bill to see how much of the change is usage and how much is the surcharge.

Questions people ask

Does the +3.60 sen/kWh AFA apply to all TNB customers?

The AFA surcharge applies to TNB tariff customers whose tariff category includes an AFA pass-through. Check the AFA line on your own bill to confirm it appears for your account.

Is the AFA the same as the base electricity tariff?

No. The base tariff covers generation, transmission and distribution. The AFA is a separate monthly adjustment that passes through fuel-cost changes. Both appear as distinct lines on your TNB bill.
