Electricity prices will drop in Peru during the next months

The rates for homes electricity service provided by the National Interconnected Electrical System will drop between 1.7% and 2.2%, as a result of the new regulations on the generation and distribution costs, according to Peru's National Surpervising Organism for Investment in Energy and mining (Osinergmin), as quoted by local business paper Gestión.
For non-residential users the drop will be bigger; between 2.2% and 2.6%, according to Peru's State News Agency.
"The price paid by consumers is a combination of prices for generation, transmission and distribution," said an Osinergmin's spokesperson.
The new scale of costs came into effect on October 1st, and the main factors causing this price are the drops in the High Volume Discounts Index, the exchange rate, the Copper Price Index and the Aluminum Price Index.

So, at that rate, the average residential utility bill will go down somewhere between 30 centimos to 2 soles.
Big whoop.

Well I pay 700 soles a month for electricity in the summer months running the a/c so saving a measly 21 soles is peanuts. The problem in Peru is Luz del Sur charges a higher rate for people living in the more "affluent" areas like mine and then gives a huge discount and cheaper rate to the majority of the country living in ghettos. Then we get a tax on the bill of 19%, plus another tax to provide electricity to rural areas in the middle of nowhere. Like I told them to build a shack out there in the dirt with no roads, running water or power lines. This country is socialist, plain and simple.Add your comment
