The head of Edenor criticized the segmentation of rates: It was not done well

The segmentation began to be implemented from September and divides users into three segments: those with lower incomes, who will not see rate increases, those with medium incomes, who will have subsidized consumption of up to 400 kilowatt hours per month and the rest with full rate, and those with higher income, which will see the subsidies completely eliminated.

“Edenor so far of the increase that each household received, Edenor received zero. Not a single penny of price increase has gone to the distribution company, we are still discussing with the state of the next increases what percentage the distributor will receive to compensate salaries, inputs, etc. “he added about the impact of the segmentation of rates on your company.

The Edenor shareholder considered that “didn’t do it right” segmentation of subsidies and increases: “Energy is an increasingly scarce value in the world and here there is no awareness of that. This means that there are subsidized sectors that do not need it. Much less in the range that the subsidy was placed, which is 400 kw. That in a normal home means that one can have the air conditioning turned on at a subsidized rate.”

In addition, Vila distinguished the rate that is paid in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and part of the Province of Buenos Aires, from that of the rest of the country: “Edenor and Edesur are the only distributors that are regulated by the State. Due to this regulation, in the last three years, both companies received a 9 percent increase when inflation in two years was close to 200. They are very behind“, he remarked.

On this point, he clarified: “That money does not go to the company, so far Edenor has not received a pennywe are talking about the next increases, what percentage will you receive”.

Asked about the management of the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, with whom Vila has a close relationship, commented: “I see him trying to lower inflation a little, to put the economy in order and waiting for the moment of the election to see if at that moment some kind of consensus can be reached with the opposition.” .
