June 30th, 2021 – Fuel Surcharge Adjustment Notice
The Anguilla Electricity Company Ltd. (ANGLEC), advises that the Fuel Surcharge will be adjusted to 42¢ per kWh on Thursday July 1st, 2021. This impending change is the first increase since 2018 (all recent adjustments have been reductions).
Adjustment Background
In April 2021, ANGLEC scheduled an adjustment that was not pursued with the hope that costs would decrease due to economic factors at the time. Unfortunately, fuel costs have since increased, consistently. Additionally, ANGLEC has absorbed over 70% of the inflations by not issuing increases to customers for the past 3 years. Not issuing an adjustment after such a period of inflation would significantly hinder ANGLEC’s operating ability. With the impending adjustment, ANGLEC is still committed to absorb a portion of the current fuel costs to soften the impact on customers in these difficult economic times.
The impending adjustment to 42¢ per kWh represents ANGLEC’s considered cost sharing under the current conditions.
Kindly note, all adjustments to the Fuel Surcharge are applied in accordance with the Electricity (Rates and Charges) Legislation. While fuel prices continue to fluctuate, they have remained higher than the previous rates, on average resulting in a notable spike in fuel costs.
