In the case of level 3, with respect to the current table, the average increase will be 24%, in both distributors.
Thus, these users, up to R4, would pay an average of 66% less than those of level 1, this percentage decreasing as consumption increases until reaching an average of 11%.
The resolution also specified that, with these new tables, Edenor’s average rate is in the order of $21,855 per kWh, and Edesur’s is $21,379.
