The Sinaloa government and Sinaloan civil societies will make a joint proposal to the federal government to extend the category 1F summer electricity subsidy from six months to seven months, to begin April 15 and end November 15.
In addition, they will propose:
- to increase the intermediate winter tariff presently 75-200 kw to 200 to 400 kw
- to reduce the cost of the 1F tariff by 30 percent
- to reactivate the financial assistance program for the purchase of low consumption air conditioners and refrigerators
- to not cut service to users who have not paid their bill
- to not cut service to users with children or those who are ill who cannot pay, but allow payment terms
- to define a special tariff for public education institutes
- to eliminate the concept of “peak hours” for industries. Peak hours is a 2-4 hour period when CFE produces the maximum amount of electricity and due to the high demand charges more for electricity consumed in that period
- to eliminate the charge for “Maximum Demand” to industrial and commercial users
Present at the meeting to discuss the proposals were the Governor, Mayors, party representatives, businessmen and representatives of the Citizens Movement in Defense of Tariffs in Sinaloa.
According to the Sinaloa government press release, the Governor stated they will do an in depth study of present tariffs, temperatures and wages to present to the federal Secretary of Energy, the CFE and Hacienda Secretary to fortify their proposals.
