    generally used for domestic purposes.
    3. Block rate Tarilf - when a block of energy is charged at a specified rate and the succeeding blocks
    of energy are charged at progressively reduced rates. This tariffhas the advantage of encor"lraging
    energy consumption.(This is also called "room rates").
    Ex,
    P L75 per unit for the frst 100 units
    P 1.5 per rurit for the next 200 units
    P 1.00 per unit for the rest

    4. Two prrt Tariff- there is a fixed charge on the basis of their maximurn demand and running
    charge based on the energy consumed. For the fixed charge, either a maximum demand indicator is
    installed, or othenrise the chare is based on the installed capacity ( it is also called 'two charge
    tariff ).

    5. Marimum demand Tarilf- it is similar to two paxt tariffwith the only difference is that maximum
    demand is actually measured by installing a rna,ximum demand meter in the premises of the
    consumer. It is mostly applied to the large users.
