We have experienced quite an increase in the cost of our Edenorte power. Buzzard posted this some time ago 30th April 2022 and it does not include the latest rise.

Below is a Excel SS showing the electricity costs in 'real $s', based on current exchange rates at the time.
If the calculations are correct, costs in US dollars for the use of 699 kW have increased over the last 15 years
from $120.93 to $138.77, or 14.7%. If only 300 kW are consumed, the increase is only 10%.
Granted that the increase has occurred in the last few months, it does reflect the government's stated role
of establishing market rates, free from subsidies.
More increases are promised (through 2024), but we payers in US dollars have been spared much of the
inflationary costs visited upon the local populace.
