Worked Examples
Example 1: Residential Customer
A residential customer uses 200 kWh of electricity. Using the current residential rate of ₱[current residential rate] per kWh:
Total Cost = 200 kWh × ₱[current residential rate] = ₱[200 × current residential rate]
The estimated cost would be ₱[200 × current residential rate].
Example 2: Commercial Customer
A commercial customer uses 500 kWh of electricity. Using the current commercial rate of ₱[current commercial rate] per kWh:
Total Cost = 500 kWh × ₱[current commercial rate] = ₱[500 × current commercial rate]
The estimated cost would be ₱[500 × current commercial rate].
