How it adds up
How the total is built
A CELCOR residential bill is the sum of several groups of charges. The largest is usually generation — the cost of the electricity itself. After that come transmission (moving power across the national grid), system loss, distribution (CELCOR's own delivery charge), government taxes, and universal charges mandated by law. Each is calculated per kilowatt-hour or as a fixed amount, then added together. Most of your bill is made up of costs CELCOR passes through from other providers, not charges CELCOR sets on its own.
At every usage level

The biggest single charge
The generation charge
Generation is the cost of producing the electricity you used, and it is usually the largest single part of your bill. CELCOR buys electricity from power suppliers and passes that cost through to you. Because it's a pass-through cost, the generation charge can differ from one month to the next depending on what power costs during that billing period. When your total bill changes even though your usage stayed about the same, the generation charge is the most common reason.
Taxes
How CELCOR shows VAT
CELCOR itemizes value-added tax across several components — you'll see separate VAT lines for generation, transmission, system loss, and distribution, rather than a single lump sum. The total tax you pay is the sum of these lines. Your bill also includes small mandated adjustments, such as the ERC-approved rate reduction, applied per kilowatt-hour.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my CELCOR bill higher this month?
