There were 130 kilowatt hours (kWh) registered in November and this meant $10.44. To this value $1.41 of commercialization was added. But $4.16 was subtracted for the dignity rate, which is applied to natural persons who use energy for residential purposes and whose consumption is up to 130 kWh on the Coast, East and Insular; and in the Sierra to a limit of 110 kWh per month. And $1.79 per cross subsidy. In total, this billing was $5.90.
This simulation of electrical energy consumption was carried out in the website of the National Electricity Corporation (CNEL EP) and can be done for consumption, reading and household appliances.
According to CNEL, in Guayaquil there are a total of 709,741 customers, of which 626,981 are residential. Of these, more than 600,000, there are 107,265 that have the dignity rate; 19,160 with the subsidy by the Organic Law on Disabilities and 58,604 for the elderly.
The cost of the electricity bill rises up to 35% between December and May on the Coast of Ecuador: these are the reasons and control keys
Ricardo Rendón, Director of Cadastre and Billing at CNEL EP, mentions that in winter, this is from December to May, there is a higher consumption of electricity. Then, consumption per kilowatt hour increases by 31% in winter and in terms of dollars, that is, the value of the payroll reaches 35%, as long as the residential user turns on the appliances more frequently.
For example, in summer the average is 200 kWh, but in winter it goes up to between 240 and 250 kWh.
If you want to perform a consumption simulation, you must follow the Next steps:
- Enter https://www.cnelep.gob.ec/, in the billing simulator.
- Then put a check indicating that it is not a robot.
- Select in which business unit you will make the query. For example: Guayaquil and the billing month, be it January, February, among others. And we put next.
- Then, choose the type of rate: residential, elderly, disabled or temporary. And next.
- Then they will ask you if you are a PEC? This means a rate that is applied to consumers in the residential category, who register in the flagship energy efficiency program for induction cooking and/or domestic water heating with electricity instead of LPG in the residential sector (PEC ). Put yes or no and next.
- And choose the type of query, whether for readings, consumption or household appliances.
Query by reading
We do the same process as above and when we are in this option we put the previous and current reading. For example, if you previously registered 180 kWh and now 200 kWh, the difference is 20 kWh. This equates to $1.77.
Query for consumption
The difference with the previous one is that here you enter the kilowatt hours of a supposed consumption. For example, 800 kWh. With this measurement, the dignity rate does not apply.
Only in electrical energy it is $83.35. And we add other values such as $4.24 for marketing, $4.38 for solidarity subsidy and $5.49 for public lighting. In total, this spreadsheet comes to $97.46.
Check for appliances
In this type of search, we select electronic devices that are in six categories: personal care, air conditioning, kitchen appliances, household appliances, computer equipment, audio and video equipment, appliances, lighting. And you can even add a new one.
For this exercise, we select room climate as a 12,000 BTU air conditioner. inverter. We place its power, daily use, among other aspects. In this case, a power of 2,000 was simulated, which is used for two hours three days a week. And we run the simulation.
This is equivalent to 159 kWh of consumption and in monetary value: $15.27.
CNEL EP has coverage in 18 provinces of Ecuador, in ten almost completely and eight partially, according to Rendón. (YO)
