Sliding scale tariff
This option is only relevant if different kilowatt-hour prices apply for every tariff period depending on energy consumption.
Example:
The following is defined as a kilowatt-hours price table:
From 0 kWh 15 ct/kWh
From 2000 kWh 20 ct/kWh
From 4000 kWh 25 ct/kWh
Consumption is at 5000 kWh.
Sliding scale tariff
If this is selected, then the valid kWh price is determined as follows:
In this example, a kilowatt-hour price of 25 ct/kWh for the whole 5000 kWh is the result
Zone tariff
If this is selected, then the valid kWh price is determined as follows:
Kilowatt-Hour Price: (2000 kWh* 15 Ct/kWh +2000 kWh*20 Ct/kWh + 1000 kWh* 25 Ct/kWh) /5000 = 19 Ct/kWh
Type of Input Upper Limit
