How is my account calculated?

2017-02-08T11:58:51+02:00

Your account is billed on a periodic cycle. You will have a start reading and an end reading. The difference between the two is your electricity usage for that period. Your usage is then multiplied by the tariff rate to arrive at a n$ value. Example: start reading – 1st = 33 179 kwh end reading – 30th = 34 029 kwh usage for 30 days= 850 kwh Calculations The 1st 250 units x 1.56 = n$390.00 Next 500 units
