The capacity model bases the fixed fee on your highest consumption during the month. The higher the peak power (kW), the more expensive the tier. Keep consumption even for a lower tier.

Keep peak power low by avoiding running multiple high-consumption appliances simultaneously. Use smart EV charging and spread washing machine, dishwasher, and oven use over time.
