Tips for Saving Electricity Bills at Home

Ki Hadisa.We often wonder why the electricity bill at home this month is higher than the electricity bill in the previous month, even though the use of electricity is relatively the same as last month.

The soaring value of electricity bills causes your finances to be drained. There are several reasons why electricity bills at home can soar, one of which is the uncontrolled use of electrical energy. to prevent soaring electricity bills, Ki Hadisa will provide tips on saving electricity bills in your home. further let's see the explanation.

Use the electricity kwh group that suits your needs.

The electricity kwh group is a classification of the type of electricity kwh issued by the State electricity provider based on the level of consumer electrical energy consumption.

For Indonesia itself, the electricity kwh group is generally divided as follows:

• Household Group (Group R)
• Business Group (Group B)
• Industrial Group (Group I)
• PJU group (Public Street Lighting) 
• Group for social (Group S)

For you electricity users, you should use the Kwh Electricity group according to your needs to save electricity bills in your home. This is because the type of group R with Group B and also other groups have different rates per kwh so you can choose the right type of kwh electricity group to use. The following is the tariff value per KWH Electricity based on the Group.

1. Group R-1 is intended for small household users with 900 VA power which has a tariff of 1,352/kwh while for 1300 VA and 2,200 VA power, it has a tariff of Rp. 1,444.70/kwh.
2. Classes R-2 and R-3, intended for medium and high-rise/large household users using 3,500-6,600 VA of electricity, have a tariff of Rp. 1,699.53/Kwh.
3. Group B-2 is intended for middle and lower business users with electric power of 6,600 VA - 200 KVA, has a tariff of Rp. 1,444.70/kwh.
4. Group B-3 which is intended for large business users with 200 KVA power, has a tariff of Rp. 1,114.74/kwh.
5. Group I-3 with electric power more than 200 KVA, has a tariff of Rp.1,114.70
6. Group I-4 with power more than 30,000 KVA has a tariff of Rp. 996.74/kwh.

Using LED-type lighting.
