Thus, in 2023, the PDBT rate, used for low consumption businesses, costs 83.39 pesos per month (fixed charge); while the variable charge is now 3,668 pesos per kilowatt hour.
Last year, on the other hand, the rate was 58.66 pesos per month, for the fixed charge, and a variable charge of 3,501 pesos per kilowatt hour.
It should be explained that the fixed charge for PDBT is charged for low voltage consumption of up to 25 kilowatts per month. The variable charge, as observed, was raised by 0.47% compared to the 2022 rate.
Where will the cost of electricity increase in CDMX?
Álvaro Obregón, Coyoacán, Cuajimalpa, Iztapalapa, Magdalena Contreras, Milpa Alta, Tláhuac, Tlalpan and Xochimilco, are the municipalities of the Valle Sur division that are subject to these new rates.
According to the Energy Regulatory Commission, after a monthly analysis of generation costs, it was determined to adjust the rate. For the month of February, an “excess differential” of 108,833 million pesos was recognized in generation costs, specifically those associated with variable fuel charges.
In this sense, the tariff adjustment agreement for February 2023, the Energy Regulatory Commission determined that the adjustment factor for energy and capacity tariff charges is 0.97% compared to January, and they are the same that the CFE will apply during all February.
