Can someone help me calculate kWh and c/kWh?

I think FNB is overcharging you for electricity. At 4.7kWh, you'll only use like ~R260's worth of power a month.

They are not on prepaid.

 

[Rocket-Boy]

Yeah, a colleague of mine uses around 8kWh per day, solar geyser with gas stove.

That is what my wife and I use daily. The solar geyser and gas stove makes a big difference along with A++ rated fridge.

OP is not on prepaid yet - he still wants to move

I know, but OP is mindlessly freaking out about FNB. It was a joke.

Nope, if you use zero kWh a month you still pay for the connection charges. Those are a flat rate. Check the tariff information on COJ webiste.

Service charge
network charge

yes the surcharge varies according to usage

I'm currently paying frigging R2,36 in PTA per unit. It's insane. We don't even use that much power. We're probably in Block 2, perhaps just-just kissing Block 3.

but seriously that insane!
the OP barely uses electricity and pays so much

Yes it is daylight robbery (pun intended).

At that usage level it is insane not to be on prepaid. Like I said I just changed over (a week ago) and the process was only mildly painful. Totally worth it.

These are our rates

1.1.1 141.78 - 0-100kWh
1.1.2 165.92 - 101-400kWh
1.1.3 180.77 - 401-650kWh
1.1.4 194.88 - >650
10.00 - Reverse Charge

I think you should still add VAT?

We don't pay any network charge on post paid though. Got really scared when they wanted to introduce it at R200 a month when my bill was less than half that. Glad it got blocked.

Ya Prepaid is worth it, Im on Eskom Direct Prepaid pay about R1.46 per unit for under 600KW
Logically for what the OP is currently paying he could probably get 3 or 4 months worth of electricity
