Yesterday Sinaloa Governor Mario López Valdez, the Federal Commission of Electricity (CFE) and the Secretary of Energy (SE) signed an agreement wherein Sinaloan domestic electricity users who were receiving a 1D or 1E summer electricity subsidy will now fall into the highest 1F subsidy rate retroactive to May 1.
The 1D zone includes the municipalities of Badiraguato, Navolato, Cosalá, Elota, San Ignacio, Mazatlán, Concordia, El Rosario and Escuinapa. Under the 1D category, these municipalities received subsidies up to 600 kwh per month.
The 1E tariff zone includes El Fuerte, Choix, Angostura, Mocorito and the rural municipalities of Ahome, El Fuerte, Choix, Guasave, Sinaloa de Leyva, Salvador Alvarado, Mocorito and Angostura. The subsidy for these communities was 900 kwh per month.
Under the 1F category, the summer electric subsidy will be 2,500 kilowatts per month for all domestic users in Sinaloa from May 1 through October 31.
Director General of the CFE, Enrique Ochoa Reza, stated the 300 million pesos to cover the cost of the highest subsidy was paid by the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público and will benefit 500,000 electricity users in Sinaloa.
Speaking to reporters at the signing, Ochoa Reza confirmed the subsidy will apply from 0 to 2,500 kilowatts with a tariff of 70 centavos to 1.50 pesos per kilowatt.
