translated from Spanish: Upcoming ballots to return money for spikes in light

Some time ago, the Superintendency of Electricity and Fuels (SEC) asked light distribution companies to adjust their rates, however yesterday it announced that they will have to return to those customers who have already issued the ballot with the new before the Law is enacted, an item that must be discounted in a single installment and reported on the next ballot.
The Superintendent of the SEC, Luis Avila, indicated that “about five million ballots were already issued with the previous raise, a charge that must be discounted to customers on the next ballot issued by the companies.” He also called on the public to review their ballots and in the face of doubts regarding the companies that deliver the supply or the SEC offices, who also ensured that the billing processes will be audited to verify that they are complied with what is requested.
This occurred after the passage of the Stabilization Act, which freezes price rates until December 2020 and will avoid the average 9.2% increase that would affect Chilean households during the second half of 2019.
Energy Minister Juan Carlos Jobet estimated that this law “goes to the direct benefit of 6.7 million Chilean families.”
