Overview
- New tariff tables published in the Boletín Oficial set a single nationwide cap with subsidies covering only the first 150 kWh per month.
- Any consumption above 150 kWh will be billed at full tariff, replacing higher regional caps that previously reached up to 550 kWh in hot zones.
- Energy officials and distributor data indicate that about 63% of AMBA users will see lower March bills due to seasonal demand drops, while 37% will face modest increases.
- Estimated bill changes in AMBA range from reductions of roughly ARS $1,000–$25,000 to increases of about ARS $400–$5,500, depending on usage and category.
- With average household use near 600 kWh per month and prior higher caps in places like Catamarca now unified to 150 kWh, many homes will pay full price on a larger share of their consumption as tariffs continue to adjust slightly above inflation.
