Estimated TNB Meter Installation Cost
The total cost of installing a TNB meter generally involves two main components: contractor fees and payments made directly to TNB.
1. Contractor Fees
Contractor fees may include preparation of the electrical system, meter board installation, application submission and testing before the meter is installed.
The actual cost depends on the type of installation and scope of work required at the property.
2. TNB Charges
After the application is approved, certain payments may need to be made directly to TNB. These may include:
- Consumer Connection Charge (CSP) – estimated from RM450 and above depending on the type of connection and location
- TNB meter deposit – estimated from RM170 to RM700+ depending on the type of premises and electricity usage
- Stamp duty – approximately RM10
These charges are determined by TNB and generally need to be paid before the meter installation is completed.
The overall TNB meter installation cost also depends on whether the property requires a 1 Phase or 3 Phase supply, the connection distance and any additional installation requirements.
