The people of Sinaloa raised their voices to denounce the high increases in electricity bills, despite the crisis that the state is going through due to the pandemic generated by COVID-19

Sinaloenses denounced a considerable increase in the collection of their electricity bill, corresponding to the second two months of the year, and considered that this is one more “thrust” to the difficult situation that the country is going through, caused by COVID -19.          

Among the citizens who raised their voices, increases of more than 250 percent stand out, in the specific case of a family that went from paying 1,400 to 3,700 pesos. Even people who received a receipt of 7,500 pesos, 2,500 pesos more than the previous receipt, so they exhibited this “injustice”.

“It is not explained. The truth, the truth, we do not know how it is because they had said that the light would go up but we do not know if it is for that reason or because the airs are more on, but it is the same, consumerism the same. We do not know how businesses will survive with this increase, because it is everywhere, “said a citizen from Guasave.

The increase in the receipt of electricity, occurs within the framework of the agreement published by the Ministry of Energy, to curb private investment in the generation of clean or renewable energy, which has generated many adverse opinions.
