Jujeños upset with huge increases in electricity and gas: It is impossible to pay

• Complaints from Jujuy users return about new and exorbitant increases in rates.
• They highlight that the electricity and gas bills arrived with amounts double or even triple what they paid.

At the last hearing for the electricity tariff, The EJESA company said that only 1% of users complained about the increases.

While this situation, which seems laughable, is alluded to, complaints and public cases multiply. Some examples:

And this is not the only rate increase they must face. Natural gas is the service that has increased the most so far this year.

In this situation, JujuyalMoment made a survey pro city streets and People expressed deep discomfort at the exponential variations that, according to them, are impossible to pay for.

Testimonies of indignation:

• “I am paying double, before I paid 16 or 17 and now 42 for electricity because we use bottled gas. It is a very important increase, I don’t know how I am going to pay because I am retired with the minimum.”
• “The electricity rate was almost 30 thousand and I paid 10 thousand. 3 thousand of gas and now 9 thousand arrived, almost 10 thousand. I think that the government has to look at the needs of the population, politicians are practically playing with society.”
• “Electricity and gas bills are increasing every two months and they are doing so in an exaggerated manner. It is important to see and analyze to maintain the amounts. It reached me 30 to 40% compared to previous months. It is impossible to pay.”
• “It’s a lot, it cost me 60 thousand pesos in total, the increase was 40 thousand pesos. “I am retired.”
