Starting today, Saturday, November 4, the electricity rates Throughout the country they will have an increase of 5.7% for the domestic sector and up to 8.8% for the industrial sector.
Rafael Laca, Enerkory specialist, explains that this new increase, effective for the eleventh month of 2023, is due to the “updating of generation prices, main system and added distribution value.”
“The exchange rate also rose in the last month. The economy is contracting and the rate is increasing,” Laca warned.
It should be noted that electricity prices are updated month by month according to various factors such as inflation, the evolution of copper, the dollar exchange rate and the price of natural gas, among others.
Enerkory’s calculation states that, for example, If you have a consumption of less than 30 kWh, the average increase in November would be S/0.73, an increase that could range from S/3.36 if you consume between 31 KWh and 140 KWh. Finally, if consumption is greater than 140 kWh, the average increase would be S/6.38.
In September, the Supervisory Body for Investment in Energy and Mining (Osinergmin) had already announced that electricity rates will rise from October. However, he stressed that they are still below the 2022 levels.
