The National Economic Council (NEC) will decide if there is to be any revision to the electricity tariffs, said Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water, Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui.
He said a NEC meeting to be held in Putrajaya tomorrow will be chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
"The Cabinet has decided that the Economic Council will make the final decision.
"It (the economic council) will determine if we finally introduce the new electricity tariffs," he told reporters here, Thursday.
He was speaking after launching the "Dare To Dream Challenge" in conjunction with the 2nd International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia 2011 (IGEM 2011), at the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, here.
Commenting on an allegation that the cost to upgrade the Pantai 2 Sewage Treatment Plant had doubled to RM1 billion, Chin said details of the project are still being discussed.
"It is a government-to-government project and is still being discussed with the Chinese government," he said.
Meanwhile, Chin said the Dare to Dream Challenge is being held in conjunction with IGEM 2011 from Sept 7-10 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).
He said its main objective is to raise awareness of green technology and eco-products by show-casing innovative design solutions, as well as engage and promote talented designers and idea generators in the creation of a better tomorrow through green technology while promoting the green agenda.
"The Dare to Dream competition is a platform that can capture the imagination of youths and promote their problem solving skills, as it allows for the fusion of fantasies and reality in a creative challenge to highlight on current issues," he said.-- BERNAMA
