Abstract

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.

Keywords
