Hello everyone,
What is the kWh price businesses pay in the DR for electricity (factories, warehouses, supermarkets, hotels, clinicas)? Do they rely on electricity from the grid, or by generators or a combination of both?
Thanks,
Bartolomeo

Most small businesses are on BTS2 tariff

bigger businesses/factories may use special bulk rates
but they have higher monthly fixed fees and fees per kW contracted, but the per kWh fee is lower than max fee on BTS2 tariff

e.g. BTD, BTH, MTD, MTH etc.

BTS1 tariff is for residential users.

All kWh on BTS1 and BTS2 are paid in scale rates (e.g. first 200 kWh charged on lower rate, then next 100 kWh charge don higher rate), but from 700 kWh consumption in a given billing month, all kWh (from the very first one) are charged at 701+ kWh rate.

Between the electricity bill and government taxes on small business is like having a partner who gets 35% of the profits "up front"
