Option 1 : Two part tariff

Two-Part Tariff (Hopkinson Demand Rate):

When the rate of electrical energy is charged on the basis of maximum demand of the consumer and the units consumed, it is called a two-part tariff or Hopkinson Demand Rate.
In a two-part tariff, the total charge to be made from the consumer is split into two components that are fixed charges and running charges.
The fixed charges depend upon the maximum demand of the consumer while the running charges depend upon the number of units consumed by the consumer.
This type of tariff is mostly applicable to industrial consumers who have appreciable maximum demand.
Thus, the consumer is charged at a certain amount per kW of maximum demand plus a certain amount per kWh of energy consumed i.e.,

Total Charge = Rs (b × kW + c × kWh)

Where b is a charge per kW of Maximum demand and c is charged per kWh of energy consumed

Advantages:

It is easily understood by the consumers.
It recovers the fixed charges which depend upon the maximum demand of the consumer but are independent of the units consumed.

Disadvantages:

The consumer has to pay the fixed charges irrespective of the fact whether he has consumed or not consumed the electrical energy.
Two separate meters are required to record the maximum demand and energy consumed.
There is always an error in assessing the maximum demand of the consumer.
