住宅 rates for electricity are charged using tiered pricing. Tiered pricing means different rates are charged depending how much energy you use. The less energy a customer uses, the less energy the customer is charged at a higher rate. By staying in a lower tier, customers pay less. Tiered pricing encourages customers conserve energy and use it efficiently.
举个例子, the breakdown of the energy charges for a residential customer who uses 1,240千瓦时为:
| 1000千瓦时× 8.4275分(一级) | $84.27 | |
| + | 240kwh x 9.8455分(二级) | $23.63 |
| = | 1240千瓦时 | $107.90 |
交替, if that same customer used only 500千瓦时 during the same time period, less energy would fall into the higher priced second tier for a total of:
| 500千瓦时× 8.4275分(一级) | $42.14 | |
| + | 0千瓦时x 9.8455分(二级) | $0 |
| = | 500千瓦时 | $42.14 |
