All households with a combine annual income below $30,000 will be eligible for subsidy for the first 100 units of electricity usage per month. The Units above 100 units will be charged the full tariff.
This new subsidy is effective from 1st October, 2019.

- Government Subsidy is 80 units @ 16.34 cents = $13.07
- VAT of 15% on ($27.20 * 0.15)= $4.08
