I am trying to get my head around the upcoming change to my electric usage.
I understand that electricity is very expensive.
I think I understand that the company bills one rate for the first batch of electricity, then higher for the next batch and then higher still.
So as an example ( I am making up figures as examples):
0-250 KWH = $.10 a kwh
251-500 KWH = $.25 kwh
501-750 KWH = $.75 kwh
Am I correct on this assumption?
Or better yet, could someone explain how much it is and how the company bills for it?
Thanks in advance.

My bill for a large colonial last month was.
Amount C$/kwh Total
25 kwh 2.32110 58.03
25 5.00040 125.01
50 5.23720 261.86
43 6.92150 297.62
7 6.95020 48.65
307 6.48240 1,990.10
Total C$ 2,791.27
24 C$ per $1
But this is Nicaragua. If you used the same amount of electricity your meter may give different numbers. There is no guarantee that different people will be charged the same rates. They changed meters on me this month and my bill dropped significantly. As soon as they notice the drop they will probably swap my meter again.

If what was stated; 24 cordobians to the dollar,24 divided into 100 (pennys) is 4.1666666. And stated was 4 cordobians for the first kwh, 4 times 4.6666666 is 16.666666 per kwh, after that was 10 cordobas 10 times 41.666666 per kwh. Can anyone afford that, or am I not correct as to how I read that? Thanks Joyce

Your calculations are correct. Almost $.42 per kwh at the highest tier. But remember it is only the highest tier. Most of my bill was at the lower levels and only a few kwh hours at the highest cost. I have a large home and do not use A/C but have a pool. My bill is around $130 a month.
Electricity is much more expensive here but we use a lot less.
Regards
Darrell

How much is electricity today? Where can I find "official" data? I am interested in prices for residential and commercial.

Expensive.
25 cents KWH for moderate usage.
Goes up as you use more.
Subsidies available if you use very little (149 KWH will cost only $13 but above that subsidies drop and price rises dramatically).

I don't know where the official rates are posted, but the company names are Disnorte and Dissur so you might be able to look them up.
Our country place runs about $2 a month and and our small city place without ac runs about 40 bucks with lots of fans and night lighting.
category 5 is 7.1 cords per kwh, and then it drops to 6.7 cords for cat. 6.

Are you on flat rate at the country place or meter?
Campo where I am used to be flat rate, now is metered, but they don't read the meters.
While I was in Esteli they were pulling all the meters off the houses and putting them on the poles in the street. I assume to discourage power theft.

Meter. we were told to put the post for the meter on the cerco because they were having too much trouble getting to the meters to read them. Not hard to see the problem with the big walls, more people working with nobody home to open the gates, big dogs, etc. the meter readers do have little telescopes.

@elduende...........are these companies subsidiaries of Union Fenosa from Spain? Or did Ortega follow thru with his threat and throw them out of the country awhile back?
