Under the new domestic tariff rates, residential customers will now pay $2.94 a unit for consumption between 201 and 300 units.
The existing special prices of 49c a unit for the first 50 units a month, and $1,08 a unit for the next 150 remain. With the five percent rural electrification levy, this means a family buying 200 units will pay around $197, but can now buy another 100 units for $294.
The standard price of $4,51 a unit is paid for all units in excess of 300.
