Merry Christmas!: the rate of light will not rise in December

La Superintendencia de Electricidad (SIE) cleared the doubts about a possible increase in the electricity tariff as part of the agreement stand by to sign the country with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is suspended for several months and that the authorities seek to restore this month.

No matter what happens in the talks that carries out the Government with the directory of the Fund in Washington, the price of the electricity will not rise this year. Has been precisely the energy sector which has led to difficulties with the Convention, which has been dispensations.

The SIE assured users of residential electrical service commercial and industrial than the rate will remain unchanged during the month of December.

How much cost the kilowatt hours of electricity at the moment? It is good to know that each kilowatt, the first two sections of the tariff scheme (0 - 75-76-200) costs u000aRD$ 4.44

This level of consumption paid until the end of 2010 RD$ 3.70, but with the increase of 11% and 8% from November to the date, the real increase was 20%.

The fixed charge for more than 175 consumption kilowatt hours rose from RD$ 120.59 to RD$ 144.56, in the case of the BTS1, which is the rate applied to residences.

In the covered section between 201 and 300 kilowatt hours of electricity price went from RD$ 5.81 to RD$ 6.97, equivalent to a 19.96% since the end of 2010.

the price moved from RD$ 9.06 to RD$ 10.86, for a 19.8% increase. This section includes customers whose consumption is from 501 to 600, but also between 601 to 700 kW hour.

From 700 kW hour is beginning the complications, since from this moment the price costs RD$ 11.10 and all cost like.

The decision not to raise the light this month was announced by the SAR by resolution 534-2011, which provides the u000abehavior of the variables that determine the rate. Explains that one million BTU of natural gas has decreased from US$ 4 to US$ 3.8752, whereas coal stood at US$ 117.23 tonne.

The monthly average exchange rate increased from RD$ 38.3325 to RD$ 38.4806 to the dollar, according to the Central Bank.

Although the authorities decided to not implement increase in the price of electricity, as a result of these changes, the electrical rate indexed to December saw an increase of 1.11% compared to November 2011.

For this reason, as the current applied rate remains lower than the rate indexed on a 36.27%, the State will subsidize with RD$ 1,416.7 million the electricity tariff to keep prices unchanged in the remainder of the year.

the U.S. electricity distribution companies (Edes) have managed to increase the number of clients 24 u000ahours in 224,144 from 2009, going from 578,066 to 802,210 at the end of June this year, a relative increase of 38.7%.

However, the increase in the number of customers receive 24 hours of light has not resulted in a deficit-reduction granted by the Government for the sector, despite two adjustments applied to the energy bill, one of 11 per cent at the end of 2010 and 8% since the beginning of 2011.

The criterion are the authorities to raise a circuit to 24 hours, or pass it on to classification, is that losses are below 20%.
