Si al aplicar la tabla ves que te acercas a los 300 kWh, es momento de actuar. Corpoelec aplica cortes y multas a quienes superan sistemáticamente los 500 kWh sin justificación técnica (como un negocio encubierto).
For a typical Venezuelan family, the consumption table is directly reflected in the monthly electricity bill. To estimate their bill, users must add up the power (in watts) of all appliances, multiply by average daily usage hours, and then by days in the billing period. For example, a refrigerator (200 W running 24/7) consumes about 144 kWh per month; an air conditioner (1,500 W used 8 hours daily) adds around 360 kWh monthly. Summing these values and locating the total on Corpoelec’s table gives the applicable rate. tabla de consumo electrico corpoelec
Misunderstanding or ignoring this table can lead to bill shock. A household crossing from the subsidized block (e.g., 250 kWh) into the next tier may see the per-kWh price double or triple. Thus, the table acts as a behavioral guide: users who monitor their consumption can adjust habits—such as reducing air conditioner runtime, using LED bulbs, or unplugging idle electronics—to stay within a lower-cost block.

This table assumes average daily use per month (30 days). To estimate their bill, users must add up
