In that period – and to provide greater transparency and stability in costs – the Stabilized Price of Electrical Energy (PEE), Stabilized Price of Transportation (PET) and Power Reference Prices (POTREF) were established.
The PEST transfer will be, according to the peak hours (6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.), off-peak (11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.) and rest times (5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.):
● N1 (high income) and productive sectors (commerce and industry): Between $56,019 and $59,298/kWh.
● N3 (average income): The base consumption changes to $30,000/kWh, while the excess consumption changes to the values indicated for segment N1.
● N2 (low income): The base consumption changes to $20,000/kWh, while the excess consumption will be paid at the values indicated for segment N1.
In this way, in order to achieve normalization of the electricity sector, a single price is established for all users that will allow residential users to contribute with greater coverage of the supply cost. At the same time, the Government – in accordance with the provisions of Decree 465/24 – determines wholesale price bonuses, according to the income levels of users and up to a certain consumption limit.
By way of illustration, if we consider average residential consumption of 260 kwhthe average value of the final monthly invoices will be the following, according to segmentation level:
● N1 will go from $24,710 to $30,355
● N3 will go from $6,585 to $16,850
● N2 will go from $6,295 to $12,545
Federal and provincial energy distributors must show on their users’ bills the amount of the bonus that each one receives from the National State.
On this basis, the National Electricity Regulatory Entity (ENRE) and local jurisdictions will define the new tariff tables with the transportation and distribution values, as appropriate.
This update of the Seasonal Price is carried out after having postponed said adjustment for the month of May 2024.
