The rates listed below are for non-local-authority supplies:
Energy charge:
There are two methods of charging for energy – either by means of a metered supply or by
means of a monthly energy charge. The supply may be metered on either the Homepower
or the Businessrate tariff. The choice of tariff will depend on the consumption of the supply.
Where a Public Lighting supply is not metered, an energy charge based on the number of
hours in a day for which the supply will be used and the time at which the electricity will be
used, is payable per month per light fitting. The energy charge is calculated using either the
c/kWh energy rate or the R/100 W/month energy rate. Where the c/kWh energy rate is
used, kWh is calculated as kWh = number of lights x light wattage x hours in use. A c/kWh tax
may be introduced during the current financial year.
