HOW TO APPLY FOR AN EXISTING TNB ELECTRICITY METER – EXISTING METER APPLICATION

HOW TO APPLY FOR A NEW TNB METER AND PAYMENT CHARGES 2025 ACROSS MALAYSIA

Make sure your application is under the correct category.
Existing Meter Application / Existing – For an existing meter application, this refers to premises that still have the black TNB cable and previously had a meter. For this type of application, CSP payment is not required, and it does not need to go through a contractor if the house has not been left vacant for more than 5 years.

HOUSE PURCHASED OR RENTED WITHOUT A METER?
HOUSE PREVIOUSLY HAD A METER BUT IT WAS REMOVED?

This issue commonly occurs for users who have just rented or purchased a house, including subsale houses, auction houses, or new houses. This happens because the previous owner or tenant closed the TNB account and reclaimed the deposit.
If the meter is still present, an application to change the meter name must be made.

1. Applicants may go directly to any TNB KEDAI TENAGA nationwide, whether near or far, to make a MOVE-IN application. A representative is allowed, provided an authorization letter is prepared.
