New Power Rate Hike
We were listening to the natinal news this evening and there is a new power rate hike this month. We actually noticed the power rate hike for the last two months on our own electric bill. It is a substantial increase for us considering the past two months there were still those rotational brownouts. How much more this month when we have not noticed any brownout any more. That means more and consistent usage from now on. But we have actually implemented some cost cutting measure right here at home. We turn off the aircon and other appliances when the lil boy is in school.
If I were to sum up the total differential increase for three months it would be more than the original cost of our electric bill when we moved here more than a year ago. I miss that subsidy that the previous government gave to power utility consumers like us. It was a great help that time. I wish we can have that again this time around. But more so do I wish that there would be no more power rate hike unless they also increase the salaries of employees. Though I think that is something we can only wish for now.
