What percentage discount do domestic users receive under BKSS?

Question

Accepted Answer

Domestic users receive up to a 25% discount under the BKSS initiative.

Domestic electricity consumers in Sarawak will benefit from adjustments to their bills under the extended Sarawakku Sayang Special Assistance (BKSS) discount, with the process beginning this month. The discount, which provides eligible households with up to a 25% reduction on their electricity charges, has been a key measure by the Sarawak government to offer financial relief. Adjustments for the months of July, August, September, and October will be reflected in the December bill, with some further adjustments potentially occurring in January 2024.
BKSS Discount for Domestic Users

The Sarawakku Sayang Special Assistance (BKSS) scheme offers a significant electricity bill discount specifically for domestic users. This discount can amount to as much as 25% of the total electricity charges for eligible households. The initiative is part of the Sarawak government's ongoing efforts to support its citizens, particularly in managing essential utility costs.
Implementation of Bill Adjustments

The adjustments to electricity bills stemming from the BKSS discount will commence in November. Consumers will see the impact of these discounts reflected in their bills for the months of July through October. These accumulated adjustments will be deducted from the December electricity bill. While the majority of adjustments are expected by the end of the year, there is a possibility that some minor adjustments may extend into January 2024.
Extension of the BKSS Electricity Discount

The Sarawak government has confirmed the extension of the BKSS electricity bill discount until December 31 of this year. This extension aims to continue providing financial support to domestic consumers. The ministry responsible for implementing this programme, through Sarawak Energy Berhad, has affirmed its commitment to ensuring the benefits reach the intended recipients.
