What is kVA Capacity?
Your Authorised Service Capacity, measured in kVA (Kilo Volt-Amperes), represents the amount of ‘apparent power’ reserved from the electrical network to ensure your site receives the necessary power supply. For sites with a half-hourly meter, this capacity is reflected on your electricity bill as a capacity charge.
What is the kVA Charge on My Electricity Bill?
kVA is a standard electrical term that indicates the amount of power your meter can supply to your building or site. One kVA equals 1,000 Watts of power. It’s crucial to understand this charge, as it directly relates to the power available to run your operations efficiently.
Why is kVA Important?
The kVA rating is critical because it ensures you have enough power to operate your equipment safely. Insufficient capacity can lead to overloads, which may damage both your equipment and the generator itself.
Are You Using the Right Capacity?
Whether you need to upgrade your commercial connection to support more electrical equipment or reduce your capacity because you're not using its full potential, it’s important to review your kVA capacity. A capacity review can help you avoid overpaying for unused power.

This company helped me out massively! Its hard enough trying to manage business energy bills these days, let alone when the energy companies get it wrong! I was helped by Jatin from start to finish, he took on my case during a tough period and helped me see it through to the end.
He was persistent throughout and really came through for my business. Not only did he resolve my issue but he has managed to find better rates for my on going business needs. I couldn’t recommend this company enough!
