TNB may get Govt nod to up power prices by 10pc

TENAGA Nasional Bhd (TNB) may get Government approval by December to raise electricity prices by as much as 10 per cent , a Credit Suisse First Boston ( CSFB ) analyst said.
The company may receive a 2.35 sen per kilowatt-hour increase in gross rates because of a higher cost of natural gas,Tan Ting Min, a CSFB analyst ,wrote in the daily note yesterday.
TNB has been seeking Government approval to increase power prices that were last raised in May 1997.The company said last month that power failures may occur if it doesn't get a rate increase within four years because the company would lack funds to upgrade and maintain its power lines.
The analyst left her "neutral" recommendation on TNB's shares uncharged.TNB buys natural gas from Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) at a subsidised rate.
TNB has to raise its power prices by 0.8 sen per kilowatt-hour,or 3.4 per cent,to cover every RM1 , or 16 per cent , increase in per million British thermal units of gas,CSFB said.
