[HIGHLIGHTS] Electricity rates: the increases made official by the government reach up to 300%

Electricity rates made official by the government reach up to 300%. The impact is greater than expected.

A high consumption household could pay up to $30,000 per month. It reaches AMBA users with an average increase of 300% in the metropolitan area. With the increase in AMBA electricity rates, the government reduced the residential categories (R) from 9 to 4.. A user who was R7 (consumption between 600 and 700 kWh) is now R4, and only for a fixed charge starts paying from $5,789 to $28,000.
