Electricity Bill
-is the amount of Electricity or Power energy consumption that you used plus the amount of different charges. It is usually range up to 30 days or a month before your electric cooperative send you the electric bill. It may be a form of sheet of paper reflecting all the charges.
Your electricity Bill not only includes the amount of the Electricity that you had been used. It is also includes some several fees.
One of this fees are :
1) Generation charge:
- It is your whole month or days usage of your electricity. It is can be solve as
standard generation rate of you power provider per KW multiply to the power consumption you use in the duration of time.
Generation charge = Rate x Power consumption.
Ex. In our power cooperative their standard rate per KW used is 7.207 Php /Kw so if I am using 89kw in a month.
Generation charge = 7.207 php/kw x 89kw
= 641.42 php
so my generation charge is 641.42 php in a month.
2) Transmission Charge
- It is a charge of power company in delivering their power from power source to consumer. Your bill will be base on how much power you used multiply to the standard transmission of power company.
In an earlier example if I had used 89kw in a month and if the standard transmission charge is 0.8076 php /kw
it will
transmission charge = 0.8076 Php/kw x 89kw
= 71.8764 or 71.88 Php
3) System Loss
Dont you know that even we dont used those stolen or losses power energy we are still the one paying on it.
System Loss includes on the power loss due to several reasons
a) In transmitting power from power producer to consumer there is what you called transmission line loss.
b) Hytherisis, Eddy current, Iron current, core and Copper Losses it is always happening in transformer.
c) Unsold power. It is a power energy that over produced by the power provider. Example if the power cooperative buy power from a power plant 600 megawatts and the power cooperative only uses 599megawatts of power. The existing 1 megawatt power will be said the power loss and we as the consumer will pay on it.
d) Stolen Power - it is done by several consumer, connecting their Electrical wiring or electricity without pursued in an Electric Meter. This consumer did not paying any Generation Charge.
The system loss will be divided equally to all consumer depending on their generation charge.
4) Distribution Revenues it includes the
a) Distribution network charge
b) Retail electric service charge
c) Supply System charge
d) metering charge
the distribution charge is a charge from the Power Distributor such as power electric cooperative or etc. It is all about charge on how to distribute the power to the consumer correctly including their maintenance.
5) The Government revenues includes
a) Taxes in every Charged from transmission charge up to distribution charge and etc.
b) Universal Charge includes
-National Power Cooperative standard Contract cost
-electrification of missionaries
-Environmental charges
Computing this all charges it will came up that we are paying large amount in which we don't used. I can say it because it reflects on my Electric bill. I only uses 89kw or 641.42 Php in a month so if there are no other big charges just like this losses which I was not used I can only pay almost half of my electric bill.
For 89kw that I had used after the computation including those different charges of our electric cooperative it came up Almost double of what I really used amount of Electricity. My 641.42Php after different charger it became 1,126.52 Php.
In my side it is really not reasonable of paying this Losses that reflects large amount adding on our monthly bill. Why do we have to pay those losses? It is not really our fault having these losses. But we cant change their charges it maybe have bigger reason why they are adding it on us, Now all we can do is let us just save our Electricity so that next month we will have smaller electricity bill.
