Do your best to keep your power consumption to 700 kWh, because if you go one kilowatt/hour above that, your bill will go up 55%. Diario Libre puts into writing what anyone that has consumed more than that in their home has painfully discovered. That means, if you pass the 700 kWh mark, you will notice a one month to another 55% increase in your bill, even if you haven't added any new apparatus.
The power tariff is structured to penalize high consumption. Bills start at RD$3.12 per kWh for consumption from zero to 200, then 201 to 300 is billed at RD$4.71, and 301 to 700 is billed at RD$7 the kWh. But once you step over the 700 kWh mark, your entire consumption will be charged at the flat rate of RD$8.57. That means if your present monthly bill for 700 kWh was RD$3,895, if you go up to 701 kWh, your bill will come for RD$6,007.57.
