Los Mochis, Sinaloa.- The general director of basic supplies of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), Manuel Mendoza, attributed the high charges that were billed for the electricity service to the population this season, to the increased consumption that was made of the fluid as a result of families being sheltered in their homes by the pandemic of Coronavirus (Covid-19). At a national press conference broadcast through social media, which was held jointly with Mario Morales, director of bequest contracts, the official explained the high bills are not because of an increase in tariffs, but because there was greater consumption due to the issue of confinement caused by the pandemic, since this year the electricity tariff had an increase of 3.2% annualized , with a cumulative monthly slip of .2 per cent, which at the end of June will reach a cumulative increase of 1.4% which is less than inflation.
However one condition is that what increases through cost and another is through consumption, because as a result of the last week of the month of March health secretariat decreed the coronavirus pandemic throughout the country, caused the activities that previously took place in the workplaces and in the schools , from this time to date they are developing in the houses and this led to the growth of consumption in that sector, where in many areas of the country consumptions were raised, exceeding the subsidised limit that within domestic rate and intermediate level comprises consumption of up to 280 kilowatt and surpluses were charged to the normal costs that are applied for high consumption levels , whose rate is higher because it has no subsidies.
