system based on the maximum usage of the past one year
More specifically, "system in which the basic charge is calculated based on the maximum usage of the past one year."
It seems 実量制 is a unique system used in power companies in Japan for commercial electricity contracts, so I could not find a short English term. (It seems some say 実量制 = スマート契約, but I do not think "smart contract" makes sense in this case.)

「実量制とは、基本料金の算定根拠となる契約電力を、メーターで計量した過去1年間（その1月と前11カ月）の最大需要電力により決定する契約方法です。」

「事業者・産業部門の契約...多くの電力会社が実量制（デマンド、最大需要電力）をとっている...その月を含む過去1年間、各月の最大需要電力のうちで最も大きい値となる。」
スマート契約（実量制）とは

「過去1年間の電気の使用量を見て、最も電気をたくさん使った時の使用量を元に基本料金が決まります。」

Instead of "the past one year" you can also say "the past 12 months including the current month," though it's pretty long.

on actual consumption basis
I can think of a number of different ways to translated this term depending on the context. I am assuming that the term refers to how a consumer would be charged for electricity by a utility company.

We usually use the above two types of measurement method in Japan by power supply company.
It depends on the way to calculate the charge in ampere or the way to charge by maximum power supply.
