2025 Residential Slab Snapshot (Example: IESCO/XWDiscos Reference)
- Protected (≤200 units, meets govt criteria): Lifeline tiers (e.g., up to 50, 01–100, 101–200 units) with lower variable charges.
- Unprotected: Higher variable charges; first 1–100 units slab notably costlier than protected lifeline.
