LT or HT? How to decide
## The rule
Above 150 kW, HT is required. Below that, it's a choice.
## What changes on HT
- Lower energy rate per unit.
- Demand charges on kVA instead of fixed charges on kW.
- Time-of-day charges: more in peak hours, a rebate at night.
- You own and maintain the substation, and transformer losses are billed to you.
## When HT pays
High, steady consumption and a good power factor make HT attractive. Use our LT or HT cost comparison to see your payback.
