The True Cost of Energy: More Than Just Units

Think your bill is just units × rate? Not quite.

There’s more to your electricity cost than just how many kWh you use — and it’s time we unpacked it.

🧾 What Makes Up Your Energy Bill?

  1. Unit Rate (kWh) – The base tariff
  2. Time of Use – Peak hour surcharges
  3. Power Factor (kVA) – Inefficiency penalties
  4. Fixed Charges – Availability, service fees
  5. VAT – 15% on top

It adds up fast — especially in commercial spaces.

🧠 Most People Only See the First Line

That’s why they’re shocked when:

  • Their bill is higher than expected
