________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Basic Calculation formula are as follows:-
The First 10 Units [10 Units x kVA] x B$0.20 cents
The Second 100 Units [100 Units x KVA] x B$0.07 cents
The Third 100 Units [100 Units x KVA] x B$0.06 cents
Remaining Units (if applicable) x B$0.05 cents
Example:
- Monthly Power consumption (kWh) = 26,880 kWh
- Subscribed capacity (kVA) = 140 kVA
Bill charged for that particular month ::
The First 10 Units [10 Units x 140 kVA] x B$0.20 cents = B$280.00
The Second 100 Units [100 Units x 140 KVA] x B$0.07 cents = B$980.00
Remaining Units 26,880 – [(10 x 140) + (100 x 140)] x B$0.06 cents
(26,880 – 15,400) x B$0.06 cents
B$688.80
Bill charged = B$280.00 + B$980.00 + B$688.80 = B$1,948.80
