Light Bill Set to Go Down in July

There is some good news for consumers because beginning July first, 2015 to June thirtieth 2016; electricity rates are to go down to thirty-five cents per kilo watt hour to all customers.  The Public Utilities Commission announced the reduction in tariffs today after reviewing a request by Belize Electricity Limited. While B.E.L. requested a reduction in the Mean Electricity Rate from forty one point twenty nine cents to thirty seven cents, the P.U.C. went below that and approved the tariff at thirty five cents which represents a fifteen percent decrease. The P.U.C. is now inviting comments on the proposed reduction.
