• Energy Charge

If the period between two successive meter-readings is outside the 25-35 days range, an adjustment to the block size under paragraph 3 (b) of the respective applicable energy charge tariff rate will be made, as follows:

Applicable block units = Normal block units x N / 30

N = Number of days between two successive meter-readings
