Title: 11.3% increase in electricity price in July
Post by Nigel on May 14^th, 2008 at 12:37am

The Consejo de Administraci�n de la Comisi�n Nacional de la Energ�a (CNE) has approved a document in which the Ministerio de Industria, Turismo y Comercio proposed an 11.3% increase in the price of electricity, say sources close to the organisation. The minister of Economy, Pedro Solbes, argued that the price of the electric tariffs are rising to approximately cover their real cost and the Industry minister, Miguel Sebasti�n, viewed as 'more reasonable' this proposal than the 20% 'heard about a week ago'

Title: Re: 5-6% increase in electricity price from 1 July

New article here:

Looks like the increase will be between 5 and 6%, gas is coming down in price by 2.4% from next month, low electricity consumers and people with a 3Kw or lower tariff will save up to 10%, large consumers will pay more per Kw (your tariff is printed on your bill if you want to check it).

A few other changes are detailed in the article.

Nice to see gas is coming down by 2.4%

Just after they'd put it up by about 5%......
