What? Haven’t you heard of tax brackets? If you are so keen to tax electricity more than it already is , and are concerned it would affect the poor, then use tax bracketing just like income tax does. The poor pay less by being in a lower bracket.
Having said that, higher taxes on electricity may affect businesses in a way you don’t intend.
