Keep windows and doors closed when you heat your home in winter, do not use more energy than what is required to be comfortable. Monitor the consumption on your prepayment meter and learn how much electricity is used by various appliances. Determine a daily consumption profile by dividing the number of units you use per billing period, by the number of days.

Keep your pool pump operating times to as few hours as possible. Larger customers are advised to move load away from peak periods. Larger customers should appoint an energy specialist to assist with ways in which the load and energy profile may be altered or savings may be TARIFFS FOR RESIDENTIAL & SMALL business CUSTOMERSENERGY - GENERAL ELECTRICITY QUERIESP lease make use of our SERVICES CALL CENTRE to log power outage and other complaintsSERVICES CALL CENTRE0860 54 3000(please assist us by providing your account number)
