No change in electricity tariffs for next quarter |03 January 2014

There will be no change in electricity tariff for this quarter effective January 1, 2014  until  March 31, 2014, based on the  average price of fuel for the period under review.

This means there will be no increase or decrease in electricity tariffs for all consumers and in all sectors – be it domestic, industrial or commercial – during the mentioned period.

The chairman of the Seychelles Energy Board, Wills Agricole, made this announcement, saying that this  will have no major bearing on the Public Utilities Corporation’s (PUC) operational and maintenance costs.

Electricity prices will drop or rise quarterly depending on the prevailing cost of fuel and this quarter the Seychelles Energy Commission together with PUC have noticed that there has not been any change in the cost of fuel, hence no adjustment in electricity tariff is necessary.

The next review will be announced in April 2014.
