Electricity tariffs in El Salvador to be reduced by 10.2 percent this week. Reduction eases pressure on industry and commerce

Monday, October 10, 2011


The new official list of tariffs that comes into effect this week in El Salvador includes a 10.2 percent reduction in the cost of electricity. In practical terms, however, for most consumers, the drop will be 9 percent.

The reduction in tariffs will provide a breather for industry, commerce and heavy domestic users.

They have faced six months of increases. Small-scale domestic consumers escaped the increases because of government subsidies.
