Электрические компании, ответственные за распределение в Метрополитенском районе Буэнос-Айреса, сообщили о повышениях, которые они планируют применить кResidential users throughout 2025 year in the framework of the public hearing for the five-year tariff review of the electricity service. During the hearing, which took place this Thursday before the National Electricity Regulatory Agency (ENRE), Edenor and Edesur presented their proposals for increases in bills starting in April.
In the case of Edenor, it was proposed that the bill for 80% of its residential users would rise to $29,544, which means an average increase of $9,624 per month, raising the cost of the service by $320 per day. The company argued the increase by comparing it with other monthly expenses of a family, such as fuel, cable television and internet, and mobile telephony.
Edenor pointed out that at the international level, a monthly bill with taxes would reach a value of US$27 for a consumption of 275 kWh, highlighting that this amount would be below prices in other countries such as Brazil, Chile, Peru and Uruguay. The company proposed that the increase in the Added Value of Distribution (VAD) be automatic and periodic, based on a formula that takes into account indexes such as Wages, Wholesale Prices and Consumer Prices.
Edenor detailed that most of the electric bill is allocated to generation (44%), followed by distribution (30%), taxes and municipal rates (24%), while transportation represents only 2% of the total. Regarding Edesur, it proposed a scheme that reflects the evolution of the consumers' profile in recent years, without providing detailed information about the impact it would have on the customers.
Edesur's proposal for low demands includes simplifying the tariff scales from 6 to 2 categories, eliminating gaps between categories and reviewing powers for three-phase supplies. Regarding medium and large demands, the company suggests maintaining the current charges but increasing surcharges for excess power.
