“There will be no segmented rate this year” | Service on …

“There will be no segmented electricity tariff this year, there will be a general increase and it will not exceed 29% of projected inflation for this year.” The one who put forward the criteria for adjusting the tariffs was the Under-Secretary for Electric Energy, Federico Basualdo. And he admitted that the new tariff tables could be applied from April. He admitted that segmentation, whereby a larger increase could be applied to sectors with greater purchasing power, was being considered but would not be able to implement it for this year. Public hearings on electricity tariffs are scheduled for the 29th and 30th of this month.
