The latest bill (for 62 days) shows a rate of $1.2543 per/kkh.
I used 297 kw/hrs and the charge for electricity (with a few other additions) is $524.
[background=rgb(252, 252, 252)]The tasa de alumbrado publico is still $55 pesos per month, so that adds $110.[/background]
The four taxes (including IVA) total $161 and the total bill is $796.
That's still less than $25 USD per month..
I paid he "latest bill" which I refereed to in the above quote on November 24th, but I had to go to the office of thee co-op to ask for a copy as the original never arrived in "the mail" (they're hand delivered by an employee of the co-op).
I didn't look at the dates on the bill.; I thought I was paying a factura that was due on November 10 but the billing period actually had closed on September 9th and was due before October 10th.
This week I received the latest bill for 63 days of service through the 13th of November. The total is $953.57.
I used less electricity during this billing period. The rate had not increased but the bill was about $150 pesos higher than the previous one.
The charge of the electricity is $642 and the taxes total $200 pesos.
There is also the tasa de alumbrado publico of $110 (for two months).
The previous bill showed a deduction of $101 pesos for a "diferencia costo mayorista a recuparar" (for the first time ever), but there was no such deduction on the new factura.
In any case, the cost for the electricity I used during the latest billing period was (at an exchange rate of 17.5 to one) was $27.25 USD per month.
PS: it's worth noting that, if the bill continues to increase by 10% every two months, during 2018, the cost of electricity will increase by 60%.
So I won't be surprised if the bill is over $1600 (for two months) a year from now.
