Previously, energy was charged only based on a flat rate per unit of consumption. The energy unit cost could be annually adjusted and was decided by the national government. Today there are no developed countries still using the flat rate alone to determine energy cost. | Previously, energy was charged only based on a flat rate per unit of consumption.

The calculus below is repeated for each consumption price tier presented below. | Keep in mind that energy unit cost is also a value determined through production and distribution costs, that may or may not be separately reflected on the energy bill. The calculus below is repeated for each consumption price tier presented below. | ||
'''Energy cost''' = Energy unit cost x monthly energy units consumed | '''Energy cost''' = Energy unit cost x monthly energy units consumed | ||
