The third increase in the value of the basic service so far this year will arrive soon, following changes in June and July.
An upcoming increase in the price of electricity confirmed increasing the amount of the electricity bill again this year.
It should be remembered that the increases in the cost of the basic service arise from the price thaw that came into force this year, readjusting the figures that have remained unchanged since 2019.
When the light comes on
The rise of light begins to reign since Tuesday October 1, where an increase of 23% is expected .
The information was released by the National Energy Commission through its final technical report, which represents the third increase in the price of supply in 2024.
This determination comes after the increases recorded in previous months, with an increase of 7% in June and 14% in July.
Why will the light come on in 2024?
The increases in electricity bills respond to the payment of a million dollar debt, accumulated after the electricity price freeze activated in 2019 .
As summarized in National Library of Congress the measure was implemented after the social crisis due to a planned increase in the rates to be paid, determined through the Law 21.185 .
However, after the economic effects generated by the covid-19 pandemic, the situation was resolved with the Law 21.472 which created what is called the Customer Protection Mechanism, intended to establish a fund to prevent the increase in electricity bills.
Then, at the beginning of this year, the tariff normalization project was presented, designed with the aim of settling the debt which amounts to 6 billion dollars .
