How to check mdi in electricity bill?
Checking MDI (Maximum Demand Indicator) on your electricity bill is important for understanding your power consumption patterns. Here's how to find it:
On most electricity bills, MDI is shown in these sections:
- Consumption details - Look for "Maximum Demand" or "MD" with a value in kVA or kW
- Charges breakdown - MDI often has separate charges in the billing details
- Meter reading details - Some bills show current and previous MDI readings
Understanding MDI: - MDI measures the highest average load used during any 15-30 minute period in the billing cycle - Higher MDI means you used more power simultaneously, which affects your billing - Industrial/commercial users pay more attention to MDI than residential users
If you can't find it on your bill, you can: - Check your electricity provider's website for bill explanation - Call customer service with your account number - Visit the local electricity office for assistance
Managing your MDI can actually help reduce your electricity costs by spreading out high-power activities throughout the day!
