There can be 2 possibilities on this assumption: The actual consumption is adjusted on number of units in the bills in following months. Most of the times there is no basis for this number and is typically calculated based on your past consumption. There are times when the person who comes for meter reading does not find you at home and you get a bill with average amount (or average consumption). In case you want to see the tariff structure applicable in your location, you can check our link: Domestic LT Tariff Slabs and Rates for all states in India in 2015.Īverage billing: how it can make your bills high? The motive behind such structure is to motivate people to consume less electricity. So if you see you pay higher amounts per unit as your consumption increases. So if you consumed 540 units in a month, your bill will be calculated as:
But if your consumption increases beyond 500 units, every unit above 500 is charged at Rs 10.61 per unit. So taking the above case, if your consumption is less than 100 units, you just pay Rs 2.96 per unit. in Mumbai Reliance energy has following tariff: In fact it increases significantly as you increase your electricity consumption. In all states the tariff structures for residential consumers are designed in such a way that per unit charge is less if your consumption is less and more if your consumption is more. If possible, avoid buying disposable and non-repairable products.ģ.How is slab based tariff structure designed? This will save you money in the long term and is kinder to the environment. Only buy products that can be repaired / maintained. A repairable product will last much longer, extending its useful working life. Only design products that are repairable, not disposable. Turn electrical devices off, when they are not in use. Rethink - do you really need the product, you are thinking of buying? Rethink - when designing, consider manufacturing the product from sustainable materials. Refuse to invest your money in companies, that are not environmentally friendly. Refuse to buy a product, that has not been manufactured from recycled / reclaimed materials. Refuse to buy a product that is over packaged, with non-recyclable materials. In terms of protecting the environment, what is the meaning of ‘reuse’? In terms of protecting the environment, what is the meaning ofģ. In terms of protecting the environment, what is the meaning ofĢ. This is usually cheaper and moreĮnvironmentally friendly, than using new raw materials.Įxample of reuse is glass bottles, which are washed and refilled. Products should be designed, so that they can be used again or at least
When they are disassembled, at the end of their life cycles. Where possible, we should reuse products or their components / parts Recyclable materials can be reformed / processed and made into a new products. We should recycle as many materials as possible, as this reduces the amount of new materials required to manufacture the products we want.Ī vast range of materials can be recycled particularly paper, card, and many plastics. Reducing the packaging we use to ‘contain’ products. Materials used in the manufacture of products.Įnergy used to transport products. Of raw materials we use to manufacture products. This means using less non-renewable resources. PowerPoint version - CLICK HERE FOR PRINTABLE WORKSHEET
