“Taking into account the spread of Covid-19 which has had a wide impact, the government has now decided to grant a 2% discount for all other users in the commercial, industrial, and agriculture categories as well as domestic users, beginning 1 April until 30 September 2020,” said Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
As announced in the economic stimulus package of 27 February 2020, business categories affected by Covid-19 are set to receive a 15% discount on electricity usage for the same six-month period. Hotels, travel agencies, airlines, shopping malls, and convention and exhibition centres are considered the main affected business categories.
