The Energy Commission’s (ST) Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA) rate for July 2026 has been set at +3.59 sen per kWh, which is up from +2.59 sen/kWh in June 2026.
Just like the case in June 2026, the real AFA is actually 5.55 sen/kWh (RM583 million) but Kumpulan Wang Industri Elektrik (KWIE) funds have covered 35% of the increased cost (i.e. RM206 million, equivalent to 1.96 sen/kWh). This is the third month that AFA has been positive, and also the third month that KWIE has subsidised the AFA surcharge.
Here’s a list of the monthly AFA rates so far and a forecast for the next 3 months:
AFA outlook from August to October 2026 is projected to range from +8.04 sen/kWh to +8.94 sen/kWh – more than double the July rate, so brace for higher bills in the months ahead.
However, do note that the eventual actual AFA paid by the consumer might be lower than the forecasted amount because of the KWIE subsidy that has been historically applied whenever it is positive.
