Answer: B

A flat rate tariff is charged on the basis of units consumed.

Under a flat rate tariff every unit of energy is charged at the same fixed rate, though different classes of consumer (lighting, power and so on) may pay different rates. The bill is simply the number of units consumed multiplied by that rate, which needs only an energy meter.

A charge based only on connected load is the flat demand tariff, and charges combining a demand component with energy are two-part or maximum demand tariffs.

Answer: B

Domestic consumers are charged on a block rate tariff.

In a block rate tariff the energy consumed is divided into blocks, each charged at its own rate: for example, the first 100 units at one rate, the next 100 at another. It is the usual basis for domestic electricity bills, and the slabs let utilities protect small consumers while recovering costs from larger ones.

The flat demand tariff charges by connected load regardless of use, the flat rate tariff charges all units alike, and off-peak tariffs give cheaper rates at night for particular loads such as water heating.
