The Star prints a data-centre connected-load charge of RM89.64 a kilowatt, from RM8.50 - TNB's page still prints RM8.50 on the monthly shortfall, the speech prints no start date, and solar and a battery are named with no megawatts
On 11 November 2026 The Star said Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Johari Abdul Ghani, speaking on 10 November, put the connected load charge at RM89.64 per kilowatt, from RM8.50. The page prints 117 approved data centres, roughly 23,500 MW of maximum demand, and status lines of 55, 19, 16 and 27. Adding those four lines is 117, our arithmetic. 89.64 divided by 8.50 is 10.545882 to six decimal places, our arithmetic. The 11 November page does not print a month, a shortfall or a start date. Tenaga Nasional's charges page still prints RM8.50 per kilowatt, monthly, on the gap between actual and reference demand, and it does not print RM89.64. A 14 November Star page prints a government line of 31% of Peninsular Malaysia's electricity by 2035, from 4% in 2025, and an analyst line of around 60 sen a kilowatt-hour against a 45.40 sen base tariff. The 11 November page prints 7% and 31% and does not name the grid. Solar and batteries are named. No workplace battery megawatts are printed.
