Why the same R100 buys less later in the month
On this tariff, Witzenberg sells electricity in blocks that start again on the first of every month. The first 600 kWh each month cost R3.27 a unit, VAT included, and R5.60 a unit above 600 kWh.
So R100 buys 30.6 kWh at the start of the month, but only 17.8 kWh once you’ve bought 600 kWh that month. Splitting your purchases doesn’t change this: the blocks count every unit you buy in the month, however you buy them.
