[ How to change your contract ampere ]

A contract ampere will be determined according to the size of an electric current (ampere) as used �by a customer. In this case, the ampere breaker will be installed in a customer's home so that the �current will be cut off automatically if electricity is used beyond the contract ampere.

To change or increase the present contract ampere, contact your nearest TEPCO customer center �and tell them your desired contract ampere. A TEPCO representative in charge will visit your home at �an appointed day and change the ampere breaker. The ampere breaker can be replaced free of charge.

Demand charge(Rate,tax included)

How to Calculate �Your Electricity Bill

Monthly electricity rates are the sum of demand charge and energy charge, etc. Demand charge will be determined by the contract ampere or contract power, while the energy charge will be calculated according to energy consumption.� The energy charge to be adjusted under the fuel cost adjustment system*, however, will be the sum plus or minus the fuel cost adjustment amount.� *The fuel cost adjustment system is designed to meet changes in recent fuel costs, so that electricity rates will be adjusted automatically every three months according to certain standards if the cost of fuels, such as crude oil, LNG (liquefied natural gas) or coal, rises or falls due to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate and energy prices.

You are requested to pay your electricity bill within 30 days counting from the day your meter is read. If failure of payment exceeds 50 days, the electricity in your home may be stopped as stated in a prior notice.��

☆ Payment term

If the last payment day has passed and you fail to pay your electricity bill, we may charge overdue interest to the amount of the number of days following the payment date to the day on which you actually pay the bill. The overdue interest shall be a sum determined by multiplying the net charge for payment covered by the calculation of such interest by 10% per annum (for the purpose of such calculation, all years, including leap years, shall be considered to have 365 days each).
