The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources said that electricity tariff of 13 non-subsidized customer categories for the period of 1 July-30 September 2020 is unchanged, or the same as the tariff in the current period of April-June 2020, which has also remained the same since 2017.
The ministry said in a statement that the electricity tariff of 25 subsidized customer categories for the period of 1 July-30 September 2020 is also unchanged. In fact, the government will provide tariff discount for certain customer categories in this group as a form of “cushion” to help deal with the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
