Electricity Tariff Methods
• The amount of money frame by the supplier for the supply of electrical energy
to various types of consumers in known as an electricity tariff. In other words,
the tariff is the methods of charging a consumer for consuming electric power.
• The tariff covers the total cost of producing and supplying electric energy plus a
r
• The actual tariffs that the customer pay depends on the consumption of the
electricity. The consumer bill varies according to their requirements. The
industrial consumers pay more tariffs because they use more power for long
times than the domestic consumers. The electricity tariffs depends on the
following factors
• Type of load
• Time at which load is required.
• The power factor of the load.
• The amount of energy used.
• Reasonable cost.
• Simple Tariff
• A simple tariff, also known as a uniform tariff, charges consumers a
fixed rate per unit of electricity consumed, regardless of the amount
or time of usage.
• In this type of tariff, a fixed rate is charged for each unit of energy
consumed, regardless of the quantity used. Known as a uniform tariff,
it applies a constant price per unit (1 kWh) of electricity.
• The energy consumption is measured using energy meters, and the
rate per unit remains unchanged regardless of the total energy used
by the consumer.
• Flat demand rate tariff –
• The flat demand rate tariff is expressed by the equation C = Ax.
• In this type of tariff, the bill of the power consumption depends only
on the maximum demand of the load.
• The generation of the bill is independent of the normal energy
consumption.
• This type of tariff is used on the street light, sign lighting, irrigation,
etc., where the working hours of the equipment are unknown.
• Two part tariff
• In this tariff scheme, the total costs charged to the consumers consist
of two components: fixed charges and running charges.
• It can be expressed as:
Total Cost = [A (kW) + B (kWh)] Rs.
Where, A = charge per kW of max demand (i.e. A is a constant which
when multiplied with max demand (kW) gives the total fixed costs.)
B = charge per kWh of energy consumed (i.e. B is a constant
which when multiplied with units consumed (kWh), gives total
running charges.)
• Three part tariff
• In this scheme, the total costs are divided into 3 sections: Fixed costs,
semi-fixed costs and running costs.
Total Charges = [A + B (kW) + C (kWh)]
Where, A = fixed charges,
B = charge per kW of max demand (i.e. B is a constant which
when multiplied with max demand (kW) gives the total fixed costs.)
C = charge per kWh of energy consumed (i.e. C is a constant
which when multiplied with units consumed (kWh), gives total
running charges.)
Understanding Electricity Bill
• In India, 1 unit of electricity is equivalent to the consumption of 1 kilowatt-hour
(kWh) of electrical energy.
• A kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy that represents the amount of energy
consumed when a power of 1 kilowatt (1 kW) is used continuously for 1 hour. To
better understand this concept, let's break down the terms:
• Kilowatt (kW): Kilowatt is a unit of power, equivalent to 1000 watts (
• Power is the rate at which energy is used, transferred, or transformed.
• Hour: An hour is a unit of time, which is used to measure the duration of energy
consumption or generation.
• Thus, when one uses 1 kW of power for a duration of 1 hour, they have
consumed 1 kilowatt-hour (1 kWh) of electrical energy. In the Indian context, this
is referred to as 1 unit of electricity.
