Very high electricity bill all of a sudden?

[Esposas]

Has anyone else noticed high utility bills? My electricity bill has jumped up. It is for 2 months worth of usage but I was shocked to see it was 625,000 pesos which is over $450 dollars! I have never had a bill this high before. My apartment is a 3 bedroom apartment that is about 150 m2. Did the rate go up?

Wow that is expensive. Did your usage go up? The utility companies are constantly raising their rates. You might want to see if they read your meter wrong. That has happened to me before. Mine have constantly gone up since Milei won. My bill is much higher when it is very hot or very cold as I am using split system for all rooms for heat and AC.

Wow that can't be right

Yeah, a lot of people have been surprised by their latest bills too. There were several utility rate hikes this year, and electricity tariffs have been gradually adjusted since the government started cutting subsidies. In fact, between August and October there was a new increase for higher-income households and those not classified as vulnerable. On top of that, bills now often cover two-month periods, so the total feels even higher.
625,000 pesos sounds crazy, but unfortunately it’s becoming more common , especially for larger apartments. If you want, you can check on Edenor or Edesur’s websites to see which “segment” you’re in (N1, N2, or N3), since that affects how much subsidy you get.

Unfortunately many friends are telling me they are getting shockingly high bills. On larger properties with several bedrooms if you are on split systems it can add up. Our bill was over 550k pesos last bill.

Our bill for a 2 bedroom apartment was 400,000 pesos. This is still much less than we would pay in the US but unfortunately rates keep going up. Before we didn't never monitored our usage but are more careful now.

If you are getting bills that high it means you are using a lot of electricity. How many kwh are you using to get that kind of bill? Prices are still much lower than the States and other countries so if you have a high bill it means usage is very high or they are misreading your meter thinking you are spending more.

In my building they got rid of gas heaters and everything is electric now. In the winter the space heaters we use in each room use a ton of electricity so the bills are high. My brother in law who has a 1 bedroom apartment in Palermo showed me his bill during the coldest months and he had a 220,000 peso bill. I can't remember if it was for 1 or 2 months. He was shocked and doesn't blast up his space heater anymore.

I wonder if subsidised bills will be enough to bring the Ks successors back to power. I remember renting places in 10 years ago where it would take 10 minutes for the hot water to kick in and landlords advising me to turn on the shower then to back to bed for a while

Milei will never get the poor vote and now he is losing middle and even upper middle class as they are figuring out his policies are a sham.

People are starting to complain about higher utility bills. They keep raising them. They are about the same price as the median price in the USA on slave wages.

 

[MikeYoung]

And the Libertarians love to celebrate the fact that they have high price of things. It's like a badge of honor for them. I don't get it.

These Libertarians were defending "free market". Well they are getting it. Milei is doing everything he said he would do for the most part. You can't scream state intervention when prices go up. Many are foolish for thinking that prices wouldn't go up. This is what Milei said he would do. He has shrunk state spending and increasing unsustainable prices of utilities. I do think they are going overboard but they know the patience is running thin so they have to do it while they can.
