Tariff DC is a
step
tariff
and
two
tokens
of
the

amount
may
not
give
you
the
same
number
of units depending on the step you are in amongst other factors.
KPLC’s
vending
system
is
online;
hence
the
system
keeps
a
record
of
all
previous
purchases
and is thus able to determine the appropriate step in the tariff calculation
