Since utility bills are such a popular subject, I thought it may be useful to transcribe some information from my last ENEL bill for anyone trying to figure out just how & why they're being charged what they are for their electricity. There are a couple of things I don't understand but perhaps if people can put up some examples of their tariffs, it may help to dispel a few myths.

BILLING HOURS

F1: 8am - 7pm Monday - Friday

F2: 7am - 8am & 7pm - 11pm Monday - Friday & 7am - 11pm Saturday

F3: Midnight - 7am & 11pm - Midnight Monday - Saturday and all day Sunday.
Also 1st, 6th January, Lunedi dell'Angelo?, 25th April, 1st May, 2nd June, 15th August, 1st November, 8th, 25th & 26th December.

F2 & F3: are calculated at one value on our tariff as F23.

NB. The meter displays these readings as A1, A2, A3

TARIFF: DOMESTIC RESIDENT D2 BIORARIA TRANSITORIA 3kW.

Fixed Rate Per Month €2,50
Discount Per Month (Supply Rate refunded?) €-1,78

TOTAL €0,72

F1: €0,088980 /kWh
F23: €0,078920 /kWh

Supply Prices:

Fixed Rate Per Month €0,50
Monthly Amount Per kW €0,42. Therefore 3kW = €1,28

TOTAL €1,78

All plus IVA (10% - is this 12% now?)

There are some really tiny amounts also applied to the bills but in our case they never amount to more than a few cents so I've not even gone there!
