There is a very crucial
need for a benchmark in order to avoid abuse. The benchmark should be your consumption
at a time you did not know about any intention or plan of Government to absorb part
of your electricity bills for a period of time so that it can give a fairly accurate
and true picture of your regular consumption. Since the reliefs are to take effect
from April 2020, and the announcement was only made in April, the use of the preceding
month, March 2020 as the benchmark is most appropriate. Once your true (uninfluenced)
monthly consumption is known, it will help determine or approximate your subsequent
monthly consumptions (especially, during the duration of the relief).
