The Government is evaluating the possibility of delaying the new increases in electricity and gas bills scheduled for May 1 based on the monthly indexation mechanism defined by the Ministry of Energy in each case to avoid a delay in real terms. TOSomething similar happens with the update of the fuel tax, which could be divided into two sectionss, as Infobae had anticipated. There will also be no news on seasonal energy prices for the winter period.
ANDIn the case of energy rates, Enre and Enargas have not yet published the rate tables corresponding to the month that begins this Wednesday. Official sources told this medium that the magnitude of the increases and how they can be applied are being evaluated, after the strong increases of 200% in electricity and greater than 300% in gas to those who added water (209%) as well as public transportation (410%) during the first quarter.
In the sector they were informed of what they should increase, based on the polynomial formulas that were defined after the latest rate updates: they would be 10.7% for electricity distributors, 12.5% for gas distributors and 12% for gas transportation. The Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, is the one who will have the last word when it comes to applying the increases.
