Subsidies: the basic energy basket is delayed due to the lack of data from the provinces. The new household subsidy mechanism would only be applied in June or July and will function as a test scheme.
The provinces do not send user data, there are doubts about fiscal secrecy and the high rate of informal employment makes it difficult to have real information on the income situation of families. Currently, 70% of households pay just 5% to 7% of the wholesale energy price; the rest is subsidized throughout the country, uniformly.
