Under the new system, electricity tariffs are segmented into three distinct time periods: peak, partial peak, and off-peak. The tariff rates are specified as follows:
Peak Hours (17:00 - 23:00): the extractive industry will be charged 226 fils/kWh, large industry 130 fils/kWh, medium industry 79 fils/kWh, and the telecommunications sector 152 fils/kWh. Home electric vehicle charging will cost 160 fils/kWh, public charging stations without commission will be charged 133 fils/kWh, and optional water pumping will cost 106 fils/kWh.
Off-Peak Hours (05:00 - 14:00): the extractive industry will be charged 206 fils/kWh, large industry 110 fils/kWh, medium industry 59 fils/kWh, and the telecommunications sector 132 fils/kWh. Home electric vehicle charging will cost 108 fils/kWh, public charging stations without commission will be charged 103 fils/kWh, and optional water pumping will cost 86 fils/kWh.
Partial Peak Hours (14:00 - 17:00 and 23:00 - 05:00): the extractive industry will be charged 216 fils/kWh, large industry 120 fils/kWh, medium industry 69 fils/kWh, and the telecommunications sector 142 fils/kWh. Home electric vehicle charging will cost 118 fils/kWh, public charging stations without commission will be charged 113 fils/kWh, and optional water pumping will cost 96 fils/kWh.
The EMRC's new tariff structure is designed to encourage the transfer of electrical load to off-peak periods, where reduced rates are applied to incentivize industrial sectors to capitalize on lower costs. This strategy aims to alleviate demand during peak hours and distribute consumption more evenly throughout the day.
