Electricity Tariff Analysis and Cost Management for Large Power Users

Large South African electricity accounts hide real savings inside complex time of use tariffs, demand charges and notified maximum demand penalties. This course helps delegates decode their utility bills, choose the right tariff structure and manage demand to cut cost without cutting output. Exercises use realistic municipal and Eskom tariff structures so delegates can act on their own accounts.
