Understanding Your Tamil Nadu Electricity Bill
The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) uses a slab-based system to calculate electricity bills for residential consumers. Understanding this system can help you manage your energy consumption more effectively and potentially reduce your electricity costs.
Tariff Structure
The current tariff structure for domestic consumers in Tamil Nadu is as follows:
- 0-100 units: Free (No charges)
- 101-200 units: ₹1.50 per unit
- 201-500 units: ₹3.00 per unit
- Above 500 units: ₹6.60 per unit
How to Read Your Meter
Reading your electricity meter regularly can help you track your consumption and avoid surprises on your bill. Most homes in Tamil Nadu have digital meters, which display the number of units consumed directly. Simply note down the number shown on the display.
Energy Conservation Tips
Reducing your electricity consumption not only lowers your bill but also contributes to environmental conservation. Here are some tips:
- Use energy-efficient LED bulbs
- Turn off lights and appliances when not in use
- Use natural light whenever possible
- Set your air conditioner to an optimal temperature (usually around 24°C)
- Use fans instead of air conditioners when possible
- Regularly clean and maintain your appliances for optimal performance

By understanding these components and keeping track of your consumption, you can make informed decisions about your energy usage and potentially reduce your electricity costs.
