Your meters are read once every two months by our meter
readers. During the months when your meters are not read, we
estimate your utilities consumption by taking the average daily
usage between the last two actual meter readings. When the
meters are next read, the under or over-estimation in your bills
will be adjusted accordingly.
Here is an example:
Actual meter reading for 5 March
Actual meter reading for 5 May
Actual electricity consumption from
5 March to 5 May (54,794 - 53,678)
Number of days for the billing period
from 5 March to 5 May
Average daily consumption
(1,116 units / 62 days)
53,678
54,794
1,116 kWh
62 days
18 kWh
As meters are read every other month, your meter will not be
read in June in the example above. Your estimated consumption
will be calculated by multiplying the above daily consumption
by the number of days in the current billing period.
Number of days for the billing period
from 6 May to 5 June
Estimated usage for the billing period
from 6 May to 5 June (18 units x 31 days)
31 days
558 kWh
When the meters are next read in July, you will be billed the
usage between May and July readings, less what was already
billed in June.

Understanding the
ADJUSTMENT ON ESTIMATED
CONSUMPTION
Utilities meters are read once every other month. For example,
if your meters are read in May, they will not be read again until
July. Your June bill will be estimated by multiplying the average
daily consumption, calculated from the actual meter readings
recorded in March and May, by the number of days in the
current billing period (please see overleaf for an example).
Compared to the cooler weather in April and May, June is a
relatively hotter month that usually sees an increase in electricity
usage. Hence, the estimated usage for June (based on actual
meter readings recorded in March and May) could likely be
lower than your actual consumption.

Even when daily activities and lifestyle remain the same during
this period, electricity consumption of appliances such as airconditioners could be higher. Compared to cooler months,
hotter weather and higher outdoor air temperatures create a
greater load on air-conditioners in order to maintain the desired
indoor temperature.
