Higher Electricity Rates
On the Way
Carolina Mora,
spokesperson for the
Autoridad Reguladora de
los Servicios Públicos (Aresep)
- regulator of public
prices and services -
says that the authority
is studying the proposal
to increase electrical
rates based on
consumption.
When and not if
approved, customers who
consumer more electrical
energy will pay more her
kilowatt hour.
Mora explained that
customers who consume
less than 200 kilowatt
hours of electricity
will pay one rate;
higher for those
consuming between 200
and 300 kilowatt hours;
and, even higher for
those consuming more
than 300 kilowatt hours.
The Aresep decision on
the new rate model could
come as early as today
or as late as Monday.
"The adjustment model is
almost ready, the
decision process is in
its late stage. The
proposal submitted by
ICE is too high and that
is the reason we are
analyzing our decision
very carefully", said
Mora.
When approved, the first
increase can start to be
felt on April 15. |
