The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) has recently made a significant announcement regarding a reduction in electricity tariffs specifically aimed at benefiting residential consumers.
The reduction, set at 6.56%, is expected to positively impact those within the consumption bracket of 301 kWh and above.
In a statement released by the Commission, it was clarified that the marginal tariff reduction will not apply to lifeline consumers (0-30 kWh) as well as residential consumers falling within the 0-300 kWh consumption bracket. For those falling into the higher consumption bracket of 301 kWh and above, there will be an average reduction of 6.56% in electricity tariffs.
The press release further detailed that non-residential consumers within the 0-300 kWh consumption bracket will not experience any changes in their tariff rates. However, for non-residential consumers falling within the 301 kWh and above bracket, an average reduction of 4.98% is expected.
This move by the PURC is seen as a step towards providing relief to residential consumers and promoting more equitable pricing structures in the electricity sector. It is anticipated that this reduction will bring about cost savings for many households and contribute to increased affordability of electricity across various consumer groups.
