Wondering how the summer fuel relief measures will impact your household electricity bills?

To prevent a projected spike in summer energy costs driven by global oil prices, the Government is stepping in to lower utility costs for residents. From June to September, a residential electricity fuel cost charge cap of CI$0.18/kWh will automatically apply to approximately 90 per cent of households consuming between 101 kWh and 2,000 kWh per month.

Lower electricity bills will not be immediate. Since the duty relief applies to new fuel shipments imported after this date, savings will take effect progressively as existing local inventory is cleared and stations restock.
