Simple Ways to Use Less Power & Lower Your Bill

Targeted household habits directly reduce the tariff slab you fall under, saving significant surcharges:

• Switch to LED lights: Consumes up to 75% less wattage than incandescent bulbs with longer lifespans.
• Thermostat management: Set your inverter air conditioner to 26°C. Every degree below 26°C increases energy consumption by roughly 6%.
• Routine filter maintenance: Clogged fan blades and AC filters cause motors to pull higher continuous amperes.
• Eliminate phantom loads: Unplug idle phone chargers, TV boxes, and microwave ovens that draw vampire current.
• Consolidated laundry & ironing: Running heating elements and washers in single larger batches saves motor start-up peaks.
• Verify meter readings: Photograph your digital meter on the billing cycle date to catch meter reading discrepancies early.
• Avoid peak hours: Limit heavy appliance usage (irons, water pumps, washing machines) during DISCO declared peak evening hours.

Peak Hours (TOU / TOD Tariff)

Slab Rates

NEPRA defines progressive tiered pricing. Consuming within protected brackets (under 200 units consistently for 6 months) maintains lower base tariffs compared to unprotected tiers.

Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA)

Variable cost component reflecting the monthly difference in actual fuel expenditure by generation companies (GENCOs/IPPs) versus forecast base rates.

Late Payment Surcharge (LPS)

A mandatory financial fee added when payment is not cleared by the due date printed on the slip.
