At a time when general commodity prices have risen and most people are struggling economically, the military council has more than doubled the cost of electricity. According to the increased electricity rates, household meters that previously cost 5,000 kyats will cost 12,000 kyats, and industrial electricity prices may be around 25,000 kyats if they were previously 10,000 kyats. Adjusted power rates for 2024 will be collected from September 1. Even in the rainy season, it is ridiculous to increase the electricity bill when the electric light cannot be properly turned on. But I can’t laugh. Due to the increase in the price of electricity, the price of products produced by electricity will also increase. The price of mandatory prices will increase every time you shop. The public will only be careful going forward.
