Bill Breakdown
Madagascar Power Grid Economics & JIRAMA Optima Structure
1. Optima Tier Rationalization
Introduced under World Bank and Ministry of Energy directives, the Optima tariff structure curbs heavy residential power waste by implementing steep unit price penalties beyond 100 kWh and 300 kWh consumption thresholds.
2. STS Prepaid Modernization
Transitioning from postpaid induction meters to digital STS keypad units eliminates estimated billing disputes. Prepaid meter tokens allow consumers to budget electricity in real-time through national mobile money operators.
3. Antananarivo Interconnected Grid (RIA)
The Reseau Interconnecte d'Antananarivo (RIA) connects hydropower plants (Andekaleka, Mandraka) with thermal generation units to supply the capital region and high-density industrial corridors.
