The Government intends to begin in March the withdrawal and reformulation of subsidies on gas and electricity rates for households in the medium and low segments . Official sources told Ámbito that they estimate that this will be possible after the call for the public hearing on February 29 is made official. This Wednesday, the Ministry of Energy published in the Official Gazette the call for said public hearing through Resolution 8/2024. There, the “basic energy basket” system will seek to replace the current segmentation scheme between high, medium and low-income households implemented last year. The Ministry of Economy seeks to accelerate the pace of subsidy adjustment. Days ago, it implemented a seasonal increase in the price of electricity for businesses, industries and public entities (with effects that in some cases range between 200% and 400%, according to estimates by specialist Julián Rojo), but in the case of Residential users only applied it to those in level 1 (high income). Originally it was planned to apply it to the three segments, however, it was decided to postpone the increase in middle and low-income households until the new basic energy basket is approved to avoid processing and stop the process of eliminating subsidies due to non-compliance with the limits.
Increase established in the regulations that established the current segmentation. The memory of the CEPIS ruling in 2016 that hindered the plans of Mauricio Macri and Juan José Aranguren activated caution in the Executive. In January, the Secretary of Energy, Eduardo Rodríguez Chirillo, had said that the public hearing Algeria Mobile Number List to approve the scheme that will replace the segmentation of subsidies would be held in March and that it would come into force in April, but now they are seeking to accelerate the process so as not to delay the adjustment. . The fact is that, precisely, the replacement of the current subsidy segmentation scheme with the basic energy basket scheme is what they consider will allow us to overcome possible complications in Justice.

To this end, it is proposed to leave segmentation by family income behind and move to a more limited scheme that establishes a basic energy basket with essential volumes of gas and electricity consumption by bioclimatic zone that will remain subsidized. Volume in excess of that basket will pay the full rate.
