This example illustrates how three industrial tariffs can look before you run your own comparison.
| Tariff | Peak Rate | Off-Peak Rate | Demand Rate | Fixed Charge | Minimum Bill | Rebate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grid Saver | 35.00 | 23.00 | 900.00 | 50,000.00 | 2,500,000.00 | 1.00% |
| TOU Advantage | 39.00 | 18.00 | 780.00 | 65,000.00 | 2,400,000.00 | 2.20% |
| Demand Guard | 31.00 | 25.00 | 1,100.00 | 42,000.00 | 2,600,000.00 | 0.50% |
This model is meant for quick scenario analysis. Always validate special clauses such as standby demand, seasonal rates, reactive penalties, taxes on taxes, or block slabs against the official tariff sheet.
It compares total landed monthly utility cost across three tariff structures. It includes energy, demand, fixed charges, wheeling, fuel adjustment, taxes, rebates, minimum bills, and power factor penalties.
Many factories focus on unit energy rates and miss demand penalties. A tariff with cheaper kWh pricing can still cost more overall if maximum demand or ratchet billing is high.
It is the portion of contract demand that utilities may bill even when your actual demand is lower. This protects supplier revenue and can materially change tariff rankings.
Low power factor can trigger penalties or missed incentives. The calculator estimates that impact as a percentage of energy charge whenever actual power factor stays below target.
Yes. These items often decide whether captive, third-party, or retail supply is actually cheaper. Ignoring network losses can make an attractive tariff look better than reality.
Because tariffs are bundles of charges. A lower peak rate can be offset by a high fixed fee, strict minimum bill, weak rebate, or expensive demand component.
Yes, with adaptation. It can approximate gas, steam, or compressed air contracts where tariffs also include fixed charges, throughput fees, minimum commitments, and taxes.
Review whenever production pattern, shift mix, contract demand, fuel adjustment, or supplier offer changes. Quarterly checks are common, while volatile markets may justify monthly review.
