I'm in the process of having a villa built in the Bukit. My architect has advised that in February 2006 the PLN intorduced a new charging structure for the supply of electricity. It was not fully clear to him, and thus to me, what the new regime was but it looked like I could be facing monthly bills in excess of Rp 8 million. Naturally, I was somewhat stunned!! It is substantially more than I had been lead to believe when I was looking into moving to Bali.
Currently (no pun intended!), I had planned a 33kva supply but this may have to be reviewed in light of the new charges.
My questions are:
>can anyone direct me to a source of information explaining the charges in English,
>can anyone advise what sort of bills they are recieving for a villa of similar 33kva installation. (Villa has 4 airconditioned bedrooms, 1 airconditioned study, largish pool, water heaters, etc).
>can anyone verify the sketchy information I have been given: for a 33kva supply, the monthly fixed rate is Rp 5,185,000 for which you get 6.1 "somethings!?!" (perhaps, 6.1 kwh??) and any use above that is charged at Rp 850 per 1 "something else!?!" (perhaps, 1wh??)
Advice much appreciated.
