Starting this month, it is known, with the removal of subsidies in home electricity and gas rates for the low and middle sectors, the next bills for both services will arrive “recharged.” Due to the evolution of inflation and the increase in the Total Basic Basket (CBT), the family income limits that will be taken into account to obtain the state subsidy were reformulated: In the Province of Buenos Aires, those who earn up to 2,979,728.50 pesos still have the possibility of requesting the state bonus.
The income limits were recalculated based on the increase in the basic basket in May, which Indec estimated at 851,351 pesos. This indicator is used to define the poverty threshold and households with four members are included in the parameter. In accordance with current regulations, for the segmentation of resident users, it was established that families whose income does not exceed 3.5 times the value of that parameter can request subsidies through the Registry of Access to Energy Subsidies (RASE). .
Users are divided into three residential categories according to their income levels and according to the segmentation scheme in force since 2022. Those considered “high income” (N1) pay more for energy, both electricity service and gas supply; Those with “low income” (N2) and those with “middle income” (N3) have discounts on their rates but with a consumption limit.
