📄 What Is an Electric Tariff?

An electric tariff is a legally approved document that details:

  • Rate classes (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.)
  • Base rates and usage charges
  • Connection and service fees
  • Billing terms and late fees
  • Rules for service delivery and disconnection

This tariff ensures that all customers are billed consistently and fairly, reflecting the true cost of electric service provision.
