  • Maximum Demand is applicable for TNB Consumers in tariff C1, C2, E1, E1S, E2, E2S, E3, E3S, and F.
  • Maximum Demand is not charged for household (Tariff A) and Commercial under Tariff B.
  • Maximum Demand is only calculated during peak hours, from 0800 hrs till 2200 hrs.
  • Unless you have a special Sunday Tariff Rider (STR) from TNB, MD is calculated for every day of the week.
  • For those with STR, Maximum Demand is not calculated on Sundays.
  • Demand is the rate of energy used and it is measured in kilowatts (kW). This is not to be confused with energy which is measured in kilowatts-hour (kWh).
  • Demand is calculated on fix half-hour (30 minutes) periods. For each day, the first 30-minute period starts at 0800 till 0830 hours. Then, the next 30-minute period is from 0830hrs till 0900 hrs, and so forth - right up to 2200hrs.
  • TNB calculates the half-an-hourly demand based on energy consumed during that period. For example, if 2000kWh of energy is consumed from 0800 till 0830 hrs, the demand would be (2000 divided by half-hour) 4000kW.
  • At the end of the month, TNB records the highest (hence the name Maximum) demand calculated for all the half-hour periods in the month.
  • The consumer is then billed based on the recorded Maximum Demand.

Why is Maximum Demand required?

  • Maximum Demand is a common charge for all utility companies worldwide.
  • It is charged to pay for the infrastructure available and infrastructure on standby to fulfill the demand (power) requirements. 
  • Do refer to our presentation on "Understanding your TNB Bill" for more details. 
  • TNB has invested in infrastructure (generators, transmission lines, distribution system) to prepare for the Customer's demand. A high demand may only be used (as an example) 10% of the time. However, the infrastructure has to be ready all the time. This is the key basis for MD surcharge.

It's always difficult to understand energy, peak and off-peak period, demand, maximum demand, power factor and reactive power.

We hope you will find this presentation useful.
