- Profile 1: Domestic unrestricted

Some medium size consumers are charged on basis of not only the units used but also the maximum demand. If the demand is relatively constant it is easier and cheaper to supply the electricity and hence the consumers benefit. A load factor is defined as being the actual electricity consumed divided by the electricity which would have been consumed had the maximum demand been continuous throughout the period.
- Profile 5: Maximum Demand Consumers
with a load factor <20%
- Profile 6:Maximum Demand Consumers
with a load factor 20-30%
- Profile 7:Maximum Demand Consumers
with a load factor 30-40%
- Profile 8:Maximum Demand Consumers
with a load factor >40%
