Bolivia changes electricity pricing rules, ties rates to official dollar average
El DeberLO·BO·about 9 hours ago
Bolivia's Supreme Decree 5750 changes how electricity generation, transmission, and distribution prices are calculated, using an average official exchange rate and inflation rather than a fixed percentage increase. This follows a shift in the exchange rate regime, likely reflecting currency depreciation. The move aims to stabilize utility revenues but may lead to higher consumer bills, with the exact impact uncertain.
