Early last year, His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Negara Brunei
Darussalam has consented for the review of the electricity tariff structure in the
residential sector which has taken into effect on the 1st January 2012. The main
objective of the introduction of the new electricity tariff is to correct the old tariff,
which suits today’s environment. In the old structure, those who consumed less were
charged at a higher rate and were paying more on average per kWh compared to
those who consumed more. The new tariff structure moves to being progressive
from regressive.
