Electricity Rates
The preprogrammed Electricity Rates are viewable in this screen.
A flat rate refers to a pricing structure that charges a single fixed fee per kWh, regardless of how much
electricity is consumed or when it is consumed. Volumetric or block rates typically increase with each
higher volume step of consumption; the more you use, the higher the price becomes. With Time-Of-
Use rates, your cost varies according to the time of day you use the electricity. If you use electricity
when demand is high (on-peak), your cost will be higher for that electricity. In all cases a Base rate
may be applied.
Electricity costs are calculated and stored using the IHD’s rates in effect at the time the electricity is
consumed. New electricity rates will impact electricity costs as of their effective date and time. A rate
change will not alter stored electricity costs. Electricity usage and cost data are stored every 15
minutes. This information is displayed in various ways in the
H
istory and
S
ummary views.
The Time-of-Use (TOU) rates appear on this screen. In this example, there are three tiers with
increasing cost. Typically the tiers may be referred to as:
$ = Off-Peak
$$ = Mid-Peak
$$$ = Peak or On-Peak
The second example shows a Base rate of $32 that is applied once per billing period, irrespective of
quantity or time of use.
The values shown are examples only and may differ from your actual rates.
For volumetric (or block) applications, the rates shown are for each block, together with the kWh level
they are valid from. The $ symbol is for the first block, (e.g. 0-499 kWh) with each successive level
represented by an additional $. (e.g. $$ 500-1199kWh, $$$ > 1200kWh). The values listed are
examples only and may differ from the actual.
The second example shows four blocks and a Base rate of $8 that is applied once per billing period –
irrespective quantity of use.
The values shown are examples only and may differ from your actual rates.
Although efforts are made to provide accurate electricity cost information, ALL COSTS ARE ESTIMATES FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, NOT FOR BILLING.
