You Work For Cheam Electric..

You work for Cheam Electric, the company that provides electricity to all the homes and businesses in Cheam. In recent months, there has been an increase in complaints from people that don’t understand their bills and think they are being over charged. The owner of Cheam Electric sends you an email about the problem: ____________________________ Hi, I’m sure you know the problems we’ve had in the last few months with increasing numbers of complaints about bills and their calculation. I want you to design a leaflet or flyer to be sent out with next months bills. It should include the following: What power is? • What electricity companies charge for? • What a kilowatt-hour is? •

You could also try to include • Information about some common devices power consumption and how much typical use of individual devices might cost (e.g. iron (1.8kW), toaster (250W), vacuum cleaner (800W)). • Information on energy saving devices. I’m sure you appreciate it’s only a few days until next months electricity bills are sent out, so I’d like you to produce a first draft in the next 45 minutes. Thanks for your help.
