Comparison of Two Different Electricity Tariffs for a Residence in Sivas,Turkey
In this study, single- and multi-rate electricity tariffs for a residence in Sivas province were compared. Consumption in the residence was determined by examining the 5-year electricity bills of the house calculated based on pricing for the single-rate electricity tariff and the cost was calculated based on pricing for the multi-rate electricity tariff. The calculations revealed that monthly electricity consumption in the residence ranged between 220 kWh and 280 kWh. If the current consumption is priced using a multi-rate tariff, the energy cost will be reduced by only 7%. Electricity consumption habits should be supported by awareness-raising programs, and peak and day time electricity demand should be reduced by shifting electricity consumption to night hours.
