Bonnie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I just received my electricity bill from UF on which there is a credit labeled Fondo Tarifario de Occidente. My Spanish is pretty good, and I have access to some good translation machines, but I can't figure out what this is. Can anyone help, please?

Keith Woolford Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) If I am not mistaken this is some minor socialism at work. Those with means are paying a bit into a fund so that minimal users can be subsidized. https://www.presidencia.gob.pa/Noticias/Gabinete-aprueba-la-creacion-del-Fondo-Tarifario-de-Occidente-y-la-estabilizacion-de-tarifas-electricas Edited February 14, 2016 by Keith Woolford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 But they're giving the money back to me; its and credit, not a debit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith, For users of 400 kWh or more which they say is 80% of the users. Wow. Our bill averages at about 270 kWh or so. That said we had a tag added to our bill that was labeled as " guarantee of payment...additional deposit" . Our usual $25 bill was over $60. We paid it. More subsidy I guess Keith. Bonnie...did they explain it to you? Seems strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
