The amount of money/charge applied by IESCO to its customers with different types of connections is called as IESCO tariff. It is the amount of money applied to each consumer for utilizing IESCO units at different hours of the day. IESCO tariff prices include the total cost of the production of electricity along with the supply and distribution of electricity to its consumers. Hence the bill payments depend upon the usage of electrical units whose prices are explicitly defined in the tariff guide IESCO of the current year.
People can view their online IESCO bills through the online portal to check the prices of the units they have been charged for to get an estimate of the tariff prices they are charged for. They can also view the tariff guide of any year online as well to manage their electrical usage and avoid unnecessary charges in the future. Different sectors have different values of tariffs as residential tariffs have less prices than for example industrial tariffs.
This is because the industrial sector uses more electrical energy and also for long intervals of time than any other sector that consumes electric energy. Further factors that directly affect the tariff rates are the type of connection applied, the Time in which the units of electricity are consumed ( such as if they are consumed during peak hours or normal hours), The power factor of the connected load, and the number of units consumed. These all factors are directly related to the tariff prices of your electricity units consumed and have a great impact on the bills.
