Water Tariff and Pricing

In Egypt, the majority of the development, operation and maintenance costs of water services are funded by public sources. Primary financing of the water sector comes only through three principal sources: Sovereign sources and general-tax system; agricultural user-fees; and municipal and industrial user-fees (FEEM 2007). Water pricing has not been an acceptable option by the majority of the population in Egypt, but this may be slowly changing. Whereas sharing costs, especially for new development projects, is more acceptable. Different scenarios were introduced recently for cost-recovery of irrigation water. Capital costs are ...

With just about every good or service, including some essential services, people decide how much of it they want based on its cost. When gas prices go up, car drivers decide whether or not they want to absorb that cost. But when the cost of clean water goes up, it’s mostly absorbed by the service provider: the government. Not so in a competitive water market, where the cost of using water for production is given by its market price (purchase price for the buyer and opportunity cost for the seller). In an excerpt from Liquid Assets (2002), executive director of Environment Probe, Elizabeth ... Read More

Turn over your iPhone and you'll see that it's "assembled in China." But that doesn’t mean that most of the profits or revenue go there. In fact, only about $6.54 (a little more than than 1%) of the full $600 retail price of an iPhone goes to China and more than 60% goes directly to Apple and other American companies and then indirectly to American workers (see chart above), according to a recent "teardown report" by iSuppli that was featured in a New York Times article yesterday . If you follow the supply chain for the Apple iPhone 4 , you'll find that it was:

Across the country there is wide variation in use and price for water consumption in major urban areas, with residential rates being lowest in the Great Lakes region, according to a Circle of Blue survey. In Milwuakee (pictured above) the trend of residents’ using less water has lead to higher pricing rates. By Brett Walton Circle of Blue A first of its kind survey of residential water use and prices in 30 metropolitan regions in the United States has found that some cities in rain-scarce regions have the lowest residential water rates and the highest level of water use. A family of four using 100 gallons per person each ...

Both Germany and Spain are global leaders in clean energy development, thanks to a financing mechanism called feed-in tariffs, applied at the national level. Essentially the government guarantees solar and wind energy developers a premium price for the energy they produce, so that they can compete with cheaper, dirtier sources of power. The extra cost of the clean power shows up on every citizen's electric bill as a small increment. Everyone pays in common to support the transition to clean energy, a national priority enshrined in feed-in tariff law. Thanks to feed-in tariffs, renewable energy use in Germany jumped at a ...

Kent based business comms expert Keypoint Communications has been destroying competitors in the business calls and phone systems market for some time now. Its child company Cheap Business Calls offers the cheapest business calls tariff in the UK by some considerable margin, notably knocking industry bigwigs BT out of the water with embarrassing savings of up to 100% on comparable services. Keypoint famously offer free line rental and a transparent invoicing policy, in comparison to BT’s rather unfortunate rental charges and minimum three minute calls tariff.

The determination of price of the service for a particular segment of the customer profile may vary according to the objectives of the utility, political and social criteria. It is usually better if these criteria are transparent. Increasing block tariffs (IBT)—often called ‘lifeline’ or ‘social’ tariffs—are often created with the intent of protecting the poor. Under an IBT, the first block of water used (usually 15-25 cubic meters) is provided to a household at a low price, often below the cost of service provision. Households that use a larger volume of water face higher prices per cubic meter. ...

Relatively clear weather most of the year is helpful, but light overcast conditions are sometimes beneficial. The best angle needs to be adjusted according to your latitude. If necessary, they can point straight up at any latitude, but will lose some efficiency and you'll need more panels. Fixed Mounts can be built onto their ...
