Although the government promised, with the signature of Luis “Toto” Caputo, that in these colder months gas and electricity rates would be frozen, in La Pampa they denounce that the bills from Camuzzi, the local gas distributor, arrive up to 1,000% increase.
According to the Diario de La Pampa, “In different homes in Santa Rosa, the increases are around 1,000%, adding the tariff update and the increase in consumption with the beginning of the time of year in which lower temperatures are recorded.”
“This week, Camuzzi Gas Pampeana began sending billing for period 3 of 2024, which covers from mid-March to mid-May,” the information states.
“The increase that was implemented starting in April – according to the Nation’s decision – represented an average jump of 300%. In the reasons for making the adjustment, the Government mentioned the emergency of the national energy sector, declared on December 16, 2023, as well as remembering the path initiated by the national Executive towards the ‘honesty of service prices and the restructuring of the subsidy system,'” they explained.
