* Such subsidies are not applicable to summer stay.
Examples
Example 1:
Student A lived in a room alone in the 1st semester, while the electricity meter reading of the room was 7268kWh upon move-in and 7770kWh in the end of the semester.
- Electricity consumption = 7770kWh – 7268kWh = 502kWh
- Electricity unit charge: MOP1.27/kWh
- Number of people in the room: 1
- Electricity subsidy in that semester: MOP70 * 5 months = MOP350
- Final electricity fee of Student A in that semester: (502kWh * MOP1.27 / 1 person) – MOP350 = MOP288**
Example 2:
Student B and student C lived in a room together in the 2nd semester. Student B moved out at the end of the 2nd semester while student C applied summer stay and continued to stay in the room alone during summer. The electricity meter reading of the room was 7242kWh in the beginning of the semester and 7907kWh when student B moved out, while it was 8057kWh when student C moved out in the summer.
For student B:
- Electricity consumption = 7907kWh – 7242kWh = 665kWh
- Electricity unit charge: MOP1.27/kWh
- Number of people in the room: 2
- Electricity subsidy in that semester: MOP70 * 5 months = MOP350
- Final electricity fee of Student B in that semester: (665kWh * MOP1.27 / 2 people) – MOP350 = MOP73**
For student C:
- Electricity consumption (in the semester) = 7907kWh – 7242kWh = 665kWh
- Electricity consumption (in the summer) = 8057kWh – 7907kWh = 150kWh
- Electricity unit charge: MOP1.27/kWh
- Number of people in the room (in the semester): 2
- Number of people in the room (in the summer): 1
- Electricity subsidy in that semester: MOP70 * 5 months = MOP350
- Electricity fee of Student C (in the semester): (665kWh * MOP1.27 / 2 people) – MOP350 = MOP73**
- Electricity fee of Student C (in the summer): (150kWh * MOP1.27 / 1 person) = MOP191**
