TNB said it will report the spread of such false information to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission for further action.

It said any adjustment to electricity costs is subject to the automatic fuel cost adjustment mechanism (AFA), which is based on changes in global fuel prices and foreign exchange rates and is adjusted monthly with confirmation from the Energy Commission.
