Energy Fiji Limited (EFL) Tariffs & Subsidy Policies
FCCC Tariff Regulation
Electricity tariffs in the Fiji Islands are strictly monitored and approved by the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission (FCCC). The standard domestic rate is fixed at 34.01 cents per kilowatt-hour (FJ$ 0.3401/kWh) before VAT, balancing utility infrastructure maintenance with consumer cost of living.
Government 50% Subsidy Scheme
Under the Fijian Government's Electricity Subsidy Program, low-income domestic households (documented household income not exceeding FJ$ 30,000 per annum) receive a 50% state subsidy on their electricity charges, provided monthly consumption does not exceed 100 kWh. The Government directly reimburses EFL for the subsidized half.
The 100 kWh Consumption Ceiling
Maintaining household consumption at or below the 100 kWh threshold is essential for subsidized consumers. If power usage exceeds 100 units during any meter billing cycle, the 50% subsidy is forfeited for that month, and all units are charged at the full standard rate.
15% VAT on Utilities
Following the 2023–2024 National Budget, statutory VAT on domestic and commercial electricity is set at 15.0%. On subsidized bills, the consumer only pays VAT on their net energy charge, keeping energy accessible for vulnerable families.
