According to articles in the Diario Libre and El Caribe, consumers will receive a 6% decrease in their electric bills next month. Former Superintendent of Power, Julio Cross, had announced earlier that a 12% decrease was forthcoming, but his successor instead reached an agreement with the distributors and the Superintendent?s office announced less relief for consumers. According to El Caribe, clients that fell into the BTS1 Category would get the 6% decrease, being those that consume more that 300 kWh per month.
