Electricity

The City has formulated a step tariff to address, among others issues, energy efficiency. This step tariff will promote electricity conservation for various categories of customers.

Therefore, high consuming customers will pay higher tariffs for the same unit of electricity as used by lower consuming customers. This will help conserve the limited electricity supply in the country.

The following changes will also apply:

• Free basic electricity has been increased from 50 kWh to 100 kWh for customers who consume less than 300 kWh. This is in line with the Expanded Social Package.
• A 2 c/kWh (Demand Side Management) levy has been introduced to all tariff categories, excluding life-line.
• A 2% surcharge on all business tariffs is still applicable.
