In recent months, the Argentine government has stepped up its efforts to ensure that citizens who wish to maintain the energy subsidy update their data in the Registry of Access to Energy Subsidies (RASE).
This measure is crucial to ensure that subsidies are distributed fairly and efficiently, benefiting those who really need them. RASE It was created with the aim of segmenting electricity and gas subsidies according to the socioeconomic aspects of each household.
This segmentation allows subsidies to be targeted at the most vulnerable sectors of the population, ensuring that those with lower incomes receive the necessary support to meet energy costs.
The campaign to update the data in the RASE The initiative has been promoted by both the provinces and the National Energy Secretariat. In particular, the province of Buenos Aires has sent emails to all electricity users, urging them to register to keep their subsidies.
This effort has focused especially on the 2 million users who receive social tariffs and who are automatically registered as low-income users. The data update process is essential to prevent users from losing their subsidies.
According to the resolution of the Ministry of Energy, those who do not update their data before August 4 will automatically be considered as high-income users, which will result in the loss of their subsidies.
Measures
This measure with the RASE seeks to ensure that subsidies are allocated accurately and that resources are not wasted on those who do not need them. The importance of maintaining energy subsidies cannot be underestimated.
In a context of inflation and rising living costs, energy subsidies represent a significant relief for many Argentine families. Without these subsidies, the cost of electricity and gas could become unaffordable for many households, especially those with low and middle incomes.
