Tshwane Municipality Domestic Post Paid Electricity Tariffs

The Electricity in the Tshwane Municipality is charged on a sliding scale.
The following explanation gives an idea of how to work out what your domestic electricity is costing you:

Question: Please could you also show how these rates that you have included convert 1057 kWh to R1316.16.

Answer (from NothembaG@TSHWANE.GOV.ZA): The electricity rates table is as follows:

    Band           2011 July 01 to 2012 Jun 30   2012 July 01 to 2013 Jun 30 
i)   1- 100 kWh      R0.9694                               R1.0179
ii)  101-400 k        R1.0294                               R1.1385
iii) 401-650 kWh   R1.0844                               R1.2037
iv)  >650               R1.1554                              R1.2825


I will use the example below: 1057kwh for 27 days.

27/30 *100kwh  = 90 kwh which will be charged with the first tariff rate

27/30*300kwh = 270kwh

27/30*250kwh = 225kwh


1057kwh – 90-270-225 = 472 kwh will be charged with the last rate


I have forwarded to you how the calculations were done, you just add 14% vat to get R1316.16.  R1154.53 *14% = 1316.16
