Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) is offering a 2.5 per cent rebate of their consumers’ total cash deposit on a pro rata basis.
Its Senior General Manager (Asset Management) Norhizami Abu Hasan said, the rebate amounting to RM7.9 million would be credited directly into the electricity bill accounts of 606,273 registered users, in stages, beginning this month.
“The power supply deposit is charged as security for damage or to settle arrears when consumers terminate their supply contract in accordance with Regulation 5(5) of the Licensee Supply Regulations 1990,” he said in a statement, Tuesday.
He said, the security deposit is calculated as equivalent to two-month bill of power usage based on the average of the last six months and would be reviewed every six months.
Norhizami said the increase in security deposit would only be imposed if there is an increase in consumption.
However, if the average consumption is lesser than the security deposit, then it can be returned to consumers at their requests through rebates on their electricity bills.
