Good news for folks that use air conditioners.


For those of us that pay more for electricity than for rent in the summer:

Starting next month the CFE (federal electrity) will reduce charges for residencial and industrial customers.

The purpose is to reduce overall inflation.

Apparently the reduction will be 50% on amounts over 500 kw per month - but I haven't seen a real detailed breakdown.

At any rate it appears to be substancial.

Mexico's Fox Says Tariff Cuts Will Cost $360 Mln in Revenue
Dec. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Mexico's government said its plan to reduce inflation and foster economic growth by cutting electricity rates and import duties will cost 4 billion pesos ($353 million) in revenue next year.

The government said it would cut spending should the measures fail to boost activity and generate enough tax revenue to compensate for the reduction in duties and for the electricity subsidies, according to a statement e-mailed by President Vicente Fox's office Sunday.

Fox is seeking to reduce the effect of government-regulated prices for electricity and natural gas on inflation in Latin America's largest economy. Mexican consumer prices rose 5.4 percent in the 12 months to November, above the central bank's 3 percent target, as state-controlled costs rose 10 percent.

Under the measures, the Federal Electricity Commission, which generates 98 percent of the country's power, will pay 4 percent less for the fuel oil it buys from the state oil company and cut power rates for consumers and companies.

The government said it will cut duties on $11 billion of imports from countries with which Mexico doesn't have a free- trade agreement. The duty on consumer goods will be cut by 5 to 10 percentage points, and by 3 percentage points on machinery and raw materials.

I guess we need to hold on to our sombreros - Fox may not be able to make it happen - and if it does go through it'll only help a small percentage.

Oh well.

As usual there are details:


Dudan que se pagar? menos
Impacta baja en luz al ?alto consumo?

Redacci?n/LA CR?NICA
MEXICALI, Baja California(PH)

S?lo el 2.2% de los usuarios residenciales -que tienen un consumo el?ctrico mayor a los 500 kilowatts/hora (kw/h) al bimestre, - ser?n beneficiados por la baja en las tarifas del pr?ximo a?o, confirm? la Secretar?a de Energ?a (Sener).
Con las nuevas tarifas los usuarios residenciales considerados ?De Alto Consumo? (DAC) tendr?n mayores ahorros porcentuales en sus recibos de luz conforme m?s altos sean sus consumos, respecto a lo que pagar?an con las tarifas actuales.
En el caso del consumo industrial, el descuento del 50% s?lo aplicar? para el consumo excedente que los empresarios adquieran en los horarios de punta, precis? la dependencia.
?(La reducci?n) a las tarifas industriales son al consumo adicional porque no se aplicar? a la totalidad del consumo en horas pico, nada m?s a lo que de acuerdo al perfil que cada consumidor sea adicional a lo que ha venido consumiendo?, precis? el secretario de Energ?a, Fernando Elizondo.
En tanto, la l?der social Graciela Romo, del Frente C?vico Mexicalense, dijo:
?No va a ser cierto hasta que la CFE no publique una tabla con los rangos, disminuci?n y un comparativo de lo que se pagaba y lo que se va a pagar, nada puede ser cierto?.
Con una sonora carcajada, que evidencia la falta de credibilidad al anuncio del presidente Vicente Fox, la l?der social agreg? que eso s?lo son declaraciones.
Por su parte el presidente del Congreso local, diputado Guillermo Aldrete, manifest? que no cree que se reducir?n las tarifas el?ctricas para el 2005.
Expuso que al decir que no cree en el anuncio presidencial de reducir las tarifas el?ctricas, habla como ciudadano mexicalense y no como pol?tico, ya que hay muchos gobernantes que han hecho promesas en ese sentido y no han cumplido.
Dijo que la prioridad del Gobierno Federal en este momento es llevar a la direcci?n de la Organizaci?n de Estados Americanos (OEA), a un secretario de Estado, por lo que no cree que las tarifas el?ctricas de Mexicali poco le interesa a esos funcionarios.
Mencion? que no tiene un conocimiento oficial sobre el anuncio, lo que ser?a un buen regalo para los mexicalenses, ya que han sido muchos a?os en los que solicitan que se bajen las tarifas por concepto de energ?a el?ctrica.
La reducci?n de las tarifas se refiere preferentemente al sector industrial, lo que le parece muy atinado, porque tiene que ver con estimular la competitividad, que es uno de los factores centrales para resolver tantos problemas que se tienen en M?xico, manifest? el diputado local Ra?l L?pez.
