Australia

Only large energy users in the stateof New South Wales have to pay aKVA tariff. Some companies whichhave negotiated individual energy

contracts will have a KVA tariff included. The states of South

 Australia and Queensland havebeen talking about KVA

 All commericalconsumers are to

maintain aminimum PF of 

0.78 or better butthis is never 

inforced.

Companies that have aKVA tariff typically pay

monthly

 As Australia has acompetitive energymarket, tariffs vary

greatly. As anindication, assume a

KVA charge of $10/KVA. Energy isaround 4 - 5 cents /

KWh

Thailandabout 0.85

lagging or better Every month
