It specifically focuses on the domestic sector, covering the key changes in the tariff structure, explaining how a household's bill is calculated, and presenting simulations demonstrating the financial impact on different domestic household types, including the perceived benefits of shifting electricity consumption habits. To be fair, author acknowledge the figure and data derived for this report is 100% simulated and synthetic data for training purposes. electricity tariff Full Text Additional Declarations The authors declare no competing interests.
