RMS Electricity Costs Are Completely Unreasonable

RMS electricity is honestly an absolute ****. If you’re moving into a complex that uses them, avoid it if you can. There are so many different charges on the account that make no sense, including paying around R12 every single time you top up. We live in a normal 3 bedroom apartment with no pool pump, no aircons running all day, nothing excessive, yet somehow we’re expected to spend over R3000 a month on electricity. I even went out of my way to buy new A rated energy efficient appliances thinking it would help reduce costs and it made absolutely no noticeable difference. It genuinely feels like the daily allowance and usage is just made up as they go along. Extremely frustrating and zero transparency in the billing.
