Two weeks ago, you may not have bothered about your tariff band or what it means. However, since the implementation of a new tariff plan in 2020, finding out your Tariff Band category is essential in helping you budget and plan around your electricity usage. With the new tariff plan just implemented on all Band A consumers, I am sure you want to know where your meter falls
Here’s how VTpass, your one-stop shop for all things utility payments, can help you decipher the mystery of your electricity band.
Why Your Electricity Band Tariff Matters:
- Fairness and Transparency: The NERC categorizes electricity consumers into bands based on the quality and consistency of the power supply received. Knowing your band ensures you’re billed according to the service level you actually experience.
- Cost Control Potential: Customers in bands with a more reliable power supply (Bands A-C) may pay more compared to those in bands with less frequent or shorter power availability (Bands D-E).
- Informed Budgeting: Understanding your band tariff allows you to more accurately budget for your monthly electricity expenses.
