Lets wait for Nov and Dec


hii ni ya nyumba or factory? big chick are you supplying the estate or hawking tokens?smile

There isn't much change. 2 months ago my postpaid bill was 4600 for 207 units, and current one is 4450 for 210 units.


na weeewe,do you have a brewery in your house,jameni.
what are you cooking?

power saving tips

1. Use the neighbour's security light.
2. Switch off fridge at night
3. Avoid hot water shower.
4. When using toaster shikanisha 4 slices. At one go you are toasting 16 slices.
5.Convince yourself that microwave causes cancer
6. Iron fast
8. Boil and preserve hot water in flask. Sio kuwashawasha kettle all the time.
9. Play or sing music,don't switch on radio.
10.Watch kbc or local channels only, avoid international channels.

brb. time to switch off fridge...smile


Nice advice ya kuzima fridge overnight. Nimeizima saa hii.......plus security lights.

whats the difference in the electricity not used when it is off and the compressor needing energy to bring it back to the same temperature it was before the switch off?

@mkenyan Hiyo physics unauliza @kysee hajui. I haven't calculated exactly but switching on again would require more electrozete to bring back the compressor to normal temp. If the fridge will be off for many hours say 12 & above then its okay but if less then needless to turn it of. Rem @kysee the bi-metallic principle applies to the fridge.

bla bla bleat bleat boyka,just switch off the damn fridge!!smile
anyway,mine's off from 9pm to 6 am and is sanyo made.smile calculate the electrozete using the bi- bla principle.

Various techniques such as riveting, bolting, fastening can be used to bond two layers of diverse metals in a bimetallic strip. However the most commonly used method is welding. Since two metals are employed to construct a bimetallic strip, hence they are named so

@kysee bi-metallic principles are used in thermostats and a fridge is one of the appliances with a thermostat.
Quote " Thermostats are usually located inside the
refrigerator and have a knob or control panel
that allows users to adjust them. Most older
appliances have just one thermostat for the
entire device, but some newer models allow
for different settings in different areas: users
might choose to keep the main chamber
cooler than one or more drawers, for
instance. Once a user sets the desired
temperature, the thermostat maintains that
temperature by sensing internal fluctuations
and prompting the compressor to turn on or
off in response to those changes. When the
refrigerator is appropriately adjusted to the
designated temperature, the THERMOSTAT STOPS THE FLOW OF ELECTRICITY to the compressor,
effectively stopping it from cooling the
appliance."

You have been undertaking mammoth tasks of late. I applaud you, though the person who uttered the words was different.

Paid 500/= and got a measly 23.6 units today. When did they say the reductions kick in, 2050?

Why Geothermal has failed to cut electricity prices


Quote:
Though the additional cheaper geothermal cut electricity costs by 26 per cent since August, homes have seen little changes when the comparison is stretched to 12 months ago, given households consuming 50 kilowatt hour (kWh) paid Sh521 last month compared to Sh517 in December 2013.


Quote:
There is zero change when one compared current power prices to those that prevailed in 2013,” said a source at the Energy Regulatory Commission who spoke on condition of anonymity.

“The cut in fuel cost adjustments on bills due geothermal power were offset by review of tariffs due Kenya Power and the new VAT charges. The new geothermal only stopped the escalation in billings that started in May because of rising fuel cost charges

Quote:
The fixed charge for domestic consumers rose to Sh150 per month from the Sh120 while the energy charge per kWh for those consuming above 50 units increased to Sh13.68 from Sh8.10, a Sh5.58 rise.

The Sh5.58 increase is higher than the Sh2.32 gain. The inclusion of the impact of fixed charge and the four percentage increase on VAT further diminishes the impact of the additional geothermal power

Maybe something is wrong with your meter or some exceptional over-use in the course of that month.

This month my usual 3000/- got me 170.5 units up from 165 units last month and 138units on September 2014.

BIg chick I think then KPLC is not consistent. On 2nd December I got 136.9 units for ksh 3000. this month i.e 5th January I got 121.8 units for ksh 2500. what is the catch?
