Energy will increase by 2.5% while gas will increase by 2.7%. New measures that most strongly affect the working majority, sectors also hit by wage losses, unemployment and job insecurity.

The Government defined a new increase in electricity and natural gas rates in the network. It will be starting this Friday, November 1st. The first of these services will increase by 2.5% while the second will increase by 2.7% starting in November. In addition, there will be new increases in fuel prices.

The government’s objective is that these new increases are ā€œcompensatedā€ for the population by the lower consumption that high temperatures imply. However, for millions of people, those same summer temperatures lead to the use of air conditioners, which imply a higher consumption.

This, at the same time, has as a background the open confession by government officials that there will be power outages in the summer. This is a result of the lack of investment in infrastructure by the privatized companies that manage the service.
