1. FLAT RATE
- Divide into 2
parts:
lamps & power Calculation:
- Need 2 units of
kilowatt hour Lamps = 100 units x RM0.20
= RM 20.00
meter
Power = 200 units x RM0.25
- More usage, = RM 50.00
more you pay Total = RM 70.00
- Only for small
industries
• Directly divided into 2 parts
• Use only 1 kilowatt hour meter
• 1st part : maximum demand payment (base on
2. TWO PARTS consumer’s need)
RATE • 2nd part : used power units in a month
• How this tariff is used :
• For big factories/industries
Calculation:
1st 100 units = 100 x RM0.20 = RM 20.00
2nd 50 units = 50 x RM0.20 = RM 10.00
Balance 150 units = 150 x RM0.20 = RM 30.00
Total = RM 60.00
Methods to improve power factor
Example:
A power user uses maximum demand of 250kW for a period of
one year. The rate offered is RM140 per kW maximum demand
per year, plus RM0.20 per unit. Unit used 350000 on one power
factor. Calculate the cost for a year and the average price per
unit.
Solution:
Cost per year = RM (140x250) + (350000x0.20)
= RM (35000) + (70000)
= RM 105000
Average price per units = 105000 / 350000
= RM 0.30
