Commercial rates are only applicable to commercial usage such as offices, stores, hotels, restaurants, pubs, etc. where the customer's installed capacity is less than 500 kVA.

Character of Service: Alternating current, three phase, 60 hertz. Power usage is permitted for the entire day (24 hours) unless otherwise specified. The supplied electricity goes through a meter that registers the usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The customer will be charged a monthly amount of AWG 100,00 and also a price per kWh usage according to the table below. The consumption period is the cycle of approximately 30 days between two meter readings.

Non-commercial rate are only applicable to churches, educational institutions, and comparable establishments which according to N.V. Elmar fall under this category where the customers installed capacity is less than 500 kVA.

Character of Service: Alternating current, three phase, 60 hertz. Power usage is permitted for the entire day (24 hours) unless otherwise specified. The supplied electricity goes through a meter that registers the usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The customer will be charged a monthly fee of Afl. 100,00 and also a price per kWh usage. The consumption period is the cycle of approximately 30 days between two meter readings.

Large commercial customers have 500 kVA installed capacity or more. The large commercial rate structure is divided into two separate components:

1. A monthly Fxed Amount (Afl. 10,50 @ kVA) based on the installed power ("kVA"). This is the capacity of the installation requested by the customer and validated and  approved by the DTI  and N.V. Elmar. If the monthly registered kVA peak is higher than the installed power ("kVA") the fixed amount for that particular month will be Afl. 10,50 @ kVA based on the registered kVA.

Example: Installed "kVA" is 1000kVA and the registered peak is less than 1000 kVA. The monthly fixed amount will be 1000 x Afl. 10,50 = Afl. 10.500,00. If the registered peak was 1050 kVA the fixed amount for that month will be 1050 x Afl. 10,50 = Afl. 11.025,00.

2. A monthly kWh demand or energy usage of Afl. 0,5463 per kWh. This is a flat rate for each kWh used.

Further each DB user will have their own specific monthly kVA / kWh resulting in a monthly overall price per kWh which can be different for each month.

Example: DB client with 1000 kVA installed in October: registered 910 kVA and 300.000 kWh

1.000 x Afl. 10,50 = Afl. 10,500,00

300.000 x Afl. 0,5463 = 163,890

Total bill: Afl. 174,390
