Yes i agree,if your on the the Tariff A(IBT) which is for low to medium consumers then the tariff system is the same as the prepaid tarrif. But, as i said before, many of us are on the Tariff B which is for high consumption users.Originally Posted by Martinco
An interesting development from this thread !
I had a meeting with a person that drew up the block rates that the municipality uses and in my case it was found that there are irregularities and as this person has a very good contact at NERSA, this case is going to be referred to them and could end up in a audit of the municipal accounts.
As soon as this is sorted I shall post the official rates for our municipality and indicate how it can be verified.
By the way, according to this person, there is NO difference between pre-paid and conventional metering = same price and formula.
It seems that up to 700Kwh per month is considered low to medium consumption and over that is considered medium to high consumption.
Tariff A(IBT) works on a sliding scale starting with '0 t0 50Kwh' at 63 cents a Kwh unit and going up to 'in excess of 700Kwh' at R2.00 per Kwh unit
Tariff B on the other hand is a flat rate of R1.08 per Kwh unit plus a R23.36 fixed charge
I did a little calculation:
650 Kwh on Tariff A will set you back R595.34 and on Tariff B R729.26
1000 Kwh on Tariff A will set you back R1295.34 and on Tariff B R1109.36
I hope this helps
