Electricity bills adjust from October
TN reported on 1 October that new regulated electricity values took effect for October, with an average 1.64% increase in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. The adjustment was formalized through regulator resolutions for Edenor and Edesur and is distinct from the separate national gas increase.
Targeted support remains in place
The October subsidy rules retain a 200 kWh monthly base block for eligible households and an additional 25% extraordinary discount on that block. The discount applies within the focused energy-subsidy regime; it does not mean every household receives the same bill reduction.
