The minimum charge that appears on Low Voltage Maximum Demand bills is 30kw. Every additional kW you use above 30kW, during these times will incur a capacity charge. You may be able to reduce the electricity demand on your premises during these hours by:

1. using equipment at alternate hours
2. rescheduling tasks outside maximum demand periods
3. avoid large loads operating at the same time
4. using backup generators if possible
5. Or re-visiting your opening hours

The formula used to calculate your capacity charge is: The MIC x Capacity Charge Rate x Number of Days in the billing period = the capacity charge for that billing period.
